Hey guys, sorry to add yet another thread to this regional, but i got a couple questions.

i will be heading down to beaver creek from the 3rd to the 9th.
i was just wondering how the park is at beaver creek, or is the vail park better?Would it be worth it to make the 30 minute trip to vail, or any other mountains that have better parks which are not too far? (i think breck and keystone are a little too far)

also what are some of the better places on the mountain for all around skiing+backcountry, etc.

im from out east in canada, so im really looking forward to this. how big are the jumps?

and if anyone is down to ride, let me know, id be stolked to do it!!

thanks NS!

the beav has some sweet rails, jumps and pipe absolutely blow. vail overall has a better park: bigger, more features, better jumps, xgames size pipe, and all the smokeshacks you'll ever need

Smallish jumps (fine for my purposes) but the bigger park is absolutely deserted all the time so that is pretty cool.

Vail's Golden Peak park is getting reset today (3rd) and tomorrow. Most of the park will be closed. The Bwana park will still be open. But you might be better off waiting til Saturday to come over.

Or better yet.....we're supposed to get a few inches of snow, go ride the rest of the mountain!! haha.
