yo guys, who has the best early season park currently, or in the next week. and why is it the best? current setup, jump line etc.

I thought Mammoth was the spot but it looks like they are extremely low on snow.

Be sure to have five paragraphs, and a thesis. Use MLA format.

keystones preseason park will most likely be better than my home mountains real park. no jumps as of yet but the rails are on point, so many options

Brighton's terrain crew took out all the rails and hour before the lifts stopped.

Key has been great the past couple weeks, and the crew there kills it. Breck is open with a three jump line, going to check that out on monday i hope

Ha, Brighton's park is a joke right now. A bunch of 8" tall rails with no kickers. All the hesh snowboarders must be loving it.

Mammoth doesn't have enough snow yet- currently they have like a 10 foot jump and some little rails. Been skiing here the last two weekends. Apparently a storm may head through next week and hopefully they will start blowing more, cause they haven't really yet. I'd stay posted to see what happens in like a week there, but as of now, wouldn't recommend heading out!

Brecks jumps look so fucking sick!

Its always a toss up between Breck, Key, Mammoth and PCMR.

Damn I had never really looked into Brianhead before reading this thread...

They are absolutely killing it for this early on!

Boreal kills it seeing that they have 12 features open top to bottom with only six inches of real snow this season, and they are the only ones open in Tahoe right now

yeah getting comfortable on those was a big goal of mine this year. finally started throwing at it on Friday but keep relying too much on my downhill ski to catch and end up riding out in a really stellar looking pizza! heading back tomorrow and hoping to fix that! can't wait!
