enought with these eastcoast powder threads, yes jay gets 350+ a year, whens there's snow its amazing, MRG might be my personal  favorite, stowe when it snows and you can hike mansfield is amazing,

just look in ski Gabber ive seen 5 threads in the past 2 days about the same thing

Hahahahahaha awesome. 

Srsly tho, Jay DOES get the most snow...  And wind too.  If you don't ski trees, you're at least 86% more likely to ski ice.

They had some super fun step up-overs last season, biggest was I think 40ft. Also a couple boxes/rails, and some rails that were 8-10 ft of the ground, which were sketchy and the snow under them was icy. In the time I was there, I saw 10 kids hit them, 7 fell off and died and another kid ended up brain-dead.

Depends on your definition of good, but either way we're working to improve it.

There's usually two parks set up, 360 and 720.

720 usually has three 10 to 30 foot jumps, a 20 foot rainbow and maybe a down rail.

360 usually has four 5 to 15 foot jumps, and then a pretty respectable small rail garden, flat downs, flats and downs in both boxes and rails.

The best thing about the parks is all the jumps are very well built smooth step-overs. It's the safest way to build jumps and you can be 2 or 3 feet of the ground for 30 feet on the bigger jumps.

The problem with the parks is they're not in a great location. If you get in the good trees you miss the park and vice versa.

There's a lot going on up here so we'll be working to improve the park along with everything else.

ya if u guys had a park that competed with killington, stowe or mount snow. it would be my all around favorite mountain ever!! i think the under developped park (compared to my examples) is the only thing that could scare some park/pow skiers like me :) keep up the good work
