My friend has been to st. Anne and Jay peak and he says Jay peak was sick. You should go there.

i went to st ann last spring and i dont really want to repeat, they only had rails up too no jumps. I went to Jay a few years ago, i might hit it up but it depends what the park is like.

Easter is more then 2 weeks away. Its supposed to be 70 and raining here monday. There will be no tree skiing at Jay and as someone else said the park probably wont be there.

Killington should have a good mix of everything, I would wait untill next weekend to make your decision.

thats kinda lame :\ my hill sucks butt with jumps, i mean the take off's are amazing but the landings are aways about 30feet too short and steep as tits. its either case, sweet spot or land flat.

Tremblant is on a conditional opening next weekend. Dependent on weather if you come here, it's probabaly gonna just be the 3 jump line left, and a few rails.

if i could choose id say fuck the east and head to tahoe. they have enough snow to cover all the square states in the country probably 10 inches deep. but my friend just got back from jay and said it was killer. my 2 cents

Just went to Jay yesterday for the first time in four years and let me tell you, the jumps are insane! Perfect amount of pop and endless super steep landings. I overshot the biggest one on a blunt nine (/sort of claim, first time doing that) and rode away fine. It's awesome, however it's lacking in the rail department, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in ridiculousness. Such as a rainbow to whale tail rail. Yeah... Just throws you. It's awesome.
