Breck is by far the best in terms of maintenace and jumps, but Mammoth is the most fun because of it's super fast lap IMO.

Keystone, Mammoth, Breckenridge. Throw Whistler in the mix if you're talking about North America.

PC lost any chance as of last year.

From my experience, breck or key.

Mammoth since the parks are spread out and not confined to a peak 8 gaperfest.

But crowds aside, Id say Breck :P

the best overall park is mammoth. It is simply more fun then other parks. It has awesome vibes, has loads of sunny days, so creative, so perfect.. there is nothing better then a perfect spring park day at mammoth when its not too busy.

Sugarloaf is average, their pipe's are on point though, great skiing in general though. I'd say killington, stowe, and Mont Tremblant, QC are all ahead of it in terms of park.

It really needs to be separated by EC/WC.....Parks here have a hard time competing as far as bigger features go.

Mammoth. If you haven't been.... you are missing out.

Breck may be wonderfully maintained and so forth.... but...

At Mammoth, you have 2 large parks with over 40ft jumps. Both of which have park chairs. 3 half pipes. an entire run entirely devoted to jibs and rails. The art park which makes for awesome photos. 2 stationary air bags. an intermediate park that is amazing for progression. and 2 small parks that are great for people just learning. All of these runs/parks have chairs.

And... they build a really great spring park that stays open till july that includes a fresh cut half pipe.

And... its pretty much always sunny and over 32 degrees so its never icy.

Sun Valley's adding tons of features & moving the pipe to Dollar Mountain. Prices are reasonable & there aren't usually long lines. Should be sweet!

Katal pad. I haven't heard of a perminant placement for it, but as of now, the two airbags are supposed to be back. The Katal pad is more of a spring thing I think cause it takes more to maintain it and what not. But maybe... I like the Katal more than the normal airbag.

In all of America maybe Banff National Park, maybe Yellowstone wins though. In just US then probably Yellowstone.

Nobody has mentioned Snowmass or Buttermilk? Our pipes are number 1 and 2 in snowboarder mag and buttermilk #1park... Buttermilk has a sick fun lap, but a pretty long chair, and most days it feels like a private park. freeskiier ranks us @2
