I've been skiing at okemo. They have a few features, nothing much. A down,flat down box. Flat rail, flat box, a few little barrel taps. And a snowboardish feature - rail sticking out of the ground as a cannon, leading to a sideways corrugated barrel as a tap.

Hope that helps!

To be honest I would imagine stratton has a better park, but I could be wrong

Sunapee doesn't have anything yet, they think they will have few rails up for the weekend. They have like 2 trails and one has a bunch of rollers you can huck off of. Also had some good natural shit for practicing nose picks but alas no rails. I haven't been to Okemo for a week, But their little park run was alright. They had a flat down flat box that was fun, a pole jam, a short flat box, and a barrel tap tranny thingy that was alright just the landings were so short they ate me up, as well as a down rail that the lip was too big on. Okemo tends to build too much lip on their preseason. but I am not complaining it was fun. As far as the crowded as fuck flat as fuck snowboarding mecca they call Stratton, I don't know. If I'm gonna drive that far I'm just gonna go to Snow and buy a ticket. Not hatin' I've seen some dope kids come out of Stratton and their park looks fun in the spring, but the place isn't for me.

Statton's park has been pathetic for the last 8 or so years. In my opinion one of the worst on the east coast. 

Never heard of Sunapee.

Okemo's park will develop into something fun but with this weather its not really worth chekcing out yet. They like to build big jumps but the jump quality is DEFINITELY lacking, you need to be going mock 3 into em to get over the knuckle.

what area has the most groomers open & is least crowded at the moment? I'm getting my feet back after knee surg so I don't care about parks for now, just looking for wide-open trails
