Stratton? Are you serious? Stratton is NOT the best mountain on the East Coast. Stratton is crap.

but whats the average slope? one is super flat and mellow, the other actually has something called ridgelines. They are hills back east, not steep enough to be called a mtn.

And fwiw, my home mtn hasnt been schweitzer in years, now its kwood or alpine.

We know this is an old post, but just in case you're still trying to find a solid place to ride park in MA, check us out at Nashoba Valley in Westford, MA. Although we aren't a mountain, we are a little hill that packs a punch. We are super dedicated to the parks.

To be fair, Nashoba somehow wasn't mentioned in this thread when it's the only good answer. It's an anthill but it has a super fun park


Hey caligrown I forget, do you think the east or west coast is better?

This. You can go there and get really good in the park. Won't keep your interest outside of the park.

Blue Hills has no park but it is a very good 'hill' nice pitch and pretty steep and would be the envy of pretty much all the midwest ski areas will improve your skiing outside the park

Nothing in Southern NH hence why Wachussett gets so crowded and often is 'full' shutting down parking lots at prime times.
