On a pow day I would go to Killington. They have more challenging trails and better trees. That of course is if we ever get a pow day.

North of NYC:
Shear number of features: Mount Snow
Variety/Creativity: Sugarbush or Killy

South of NYC:
Shear number of features: Big Boulder
Variety/Creativity: 7 Springs

Honorable Mention: Sunday River and Sugarloaf - Sugarloaf has a great vibe to it, just a super chill atmosphere you don't normally get at the large mountains. Sunday River is currently expanding it's parks so who knows how good it'll be this season.

Depends when you wanna go, killington usually has a pretty legit early season park with maybe 10 features by Halloween/early November.

Snowshoe WV actually has sick parks. Good variety of features. Absolutely no lines either. If you live in the VA to PA area hit that up.

Sugarbush has mostly medium features, but they definitely win in the uniqueness category. You won't find too many of your standard features here.

sugarbush shits on all east coast parks specifically because of the style of the park.

super fucking flowy and theres always a crazy/innovative feature that mind fucks you at first sight

big ups to tony and the rest of the crew there.

I can't say for sure, but Sunday River this year should be really awesome, they cut a new park and their park budget got raised by a lot, so it should be sweet this year.

If u dont want huge jumps one of my favorites is pats peak. Solid intermediate rails occasionally a big dfd and they have a air bag for relatively cheap. Also you wont ever wait in lines

Seven Springs has a sick park, Appalachian ski mtn in north carolina has a killer park since it makes up about half of the mountain. Both have some creative features.

Go to Waterville, really underrated, it has a lift solely for the park, easy for some hot laps and medium/large jump line loaded with features
