With Park Citys announcement of no Kings park this season and having alot of the same things repetively and Then Snowbasin having the Big burlington stair set replica and switching things out everyweek and a half,  to having 60-75ft triple lines and a 22ft Half pipe, and also Park citys cat driver from last year is also working Snowbasin this season.. So with all that being said.. Has snowbasin taken over?

I could see it happening except maybe the location....but people are willing to drive for good park, maybe not in Utah though....we're hella spoiled

so my definitive answer is....possibly...

No.
PC is PC, and will always be the spot. Think of all the kids that live in the PC district that shred PC.... they're not going to drive 45 minutes for a park, even if it's a little better.

Even if Snowbasin makes a better park, the mountain itself still has a reputation of not being a park mountain.
And the closer proximity to SLC will make it the place to be for forever.

No, even if basin has a better park than PC (which they don't and I don't see it happening) you still have to take a 10min gondola ride then 5+min run before you get to the park, rather than laps after laps at PC!!

Hard to tell with Snowbasin right now...Everything is closed off for Dew Tour. It will be interesting to see how well they do once DT is gone.

After being to snow basin, no way. the fact you have to take the gondola (solid 15-20min lap) all the way up to ski the park that is all the way at the bottom makes it annoy as fuck. The park isn't even that stick and the dew tour course isn't really anything better than what PC has set up...

How many jumps does PC have now? How many rail features? How many laps can you take in a day?


PC will always be the place to be If you are a park rat in SLC.
