cant beat the front four at stowe on a sunny day with temps in the 60s, and theres sometimes enough snow to do a little hiking to the right of the gondola. but for park, mount snow is sooo sick closing weekand when its nice and warm like last year.

if you are all about park dont go to killy, they closed their last park last weekend from what i heard.
i HIGHLY suggest checking out mt snow. they have carinthia (an entire peak dedicated to parks) and they have the gnarliest shit.

Dreammaker may be closed, but Mouse Run is getting built out at Killington. May not have the jump line of Dream, but the jibs should be plenty sweet.

Watch for full report of the setup once it's complete and up and running.

Sunday River's dope because they're the first to open on the east by about 3 weeks so it has dope vibes early season a lot of shredders from NH, VT, NJ that kill it. They also have the dopest park in Maine.

Sugarloaf has epic skiing, closes in mid may, and has a pretty dope park!

Cranmore (NH) has a fucking sick park, the vibes aren't that great from personal experience, however its one park thats loaded with features. The mountain however sucks.

Those are the only real good east coast resorts I can attest to.
