I've never ridden PC, but I hear their jumps are garbage compared to Breck.

I don't think I have hit better jumps than the jumps at breckenridge.

Keystone has better jibs in my opinion though.

but I'd definitely say breck, keystone, mammoth, park city for american parks. Can't speak for any out of the country however.

perhaps not the biggest park in the world, but the kronplatz snowpark in italy is definitely one of the most beautifully shaped parks i've ever seen, every feature is a true piece of art, shaped to perfection ....

in this article you can see what it's like, cool thing is all those jumps/features are public ....

i almost felt ashamed when i made first tracks in the kickers, that's how beautifully shaped they are ...

i don't ski all that much park but so far kronplatz definitely takes the cake for me ...

last year they had a true table with a minicooper on the flat, truly ridiculous !
