Always been fond of Mammoth for their fat tube setups, but haven't been. I recommend a trip to Wiscosin/MN. We will teach you what real hot laps are, and why you don't buy nice gloves up here

A51 is so fun

Montana sucks though, and we have no good skiing here.

My backyard. I have a 6' flat rail and a 3' or 4' jump. It's pretty sick. Don't see the point of spending money to go ride the same shit or worse at an actual ski area.

Also no lines!

In all honesty bear had probably one of the sickest parks I've ever ridden. Super fly the entire way through with top to bottom features. And they mixed it up. Jumps, quarters, hips, long rails, short rails, boxes, it was just fucking great. It was one park where I really felt the entire thing just flowed very well.

Northstar is on the list too. Seemingly endless features all culminating into one high speed quad. Similar setup at mt snow.

I would have to find a new job if I didn't say Windham Mountain Resort. We are investing heavily this year...

As an ethnocentric A51 local, I'm going to agree with this one

ski.the.eastdeer valley is pretty chill

I know right... Seriously though. One time my friend and I made this tiny jump off this abandoned run. It was so sick though. With speed you could go 40+ feet. It was gnarly. We hid our backpacks so we could hit it without them and 5 minutes later ski patrol took our backpacks and waited for us to come down. He was pretty cool about it, by he said it was "really serious" and there would be serious consequences if we ever did it again. My friends mom works at DV and he said she could get fired or something.

Jay Peak, Vermont is sort of a hidden gem. Believe it or not they somehow get more snow then several mountains in colorado and utah. Its something with the shape of the valley surrounding it but all i know is i went there in 2011 and was skiing 3 1/2 feet of untracked powder.

Honestly Loon will probably always be my favorite. Not sure what's been happening up there the last few years but Loon 5+ years ago was king of the east in my mind for parks.

Also the contest series was EPIC.


Northstar when they get the snow, Keystone, Breck, Bear, June(RIP), Mammoth, Park City,
Mount Snow, 7 Springs, Okemo way back(and maybe in the future)

Yeah John. Keep it under the radar.

No, its terrible and nobody should ever ski there. The grooming is too neat and there are too many rails. Also too much snow making.

I hear if you go about 20 mins from there you can ski at grand geneva and their park is supposed to be the best in the world.

Well if you compare it to Holiday Valley and Kissing Bridge it's good. Both mountains were pretty awful this year. Holiday never maintains anything. KB was just god awful. Peek is the best park in WNY right now.

if i hada ski one i wood ski HV cuz that place is just funnnn to rip up. Some of the funnest groomers within 8 hours of me if you exclude western territory in snowshoe.

Holidays park has always sucked (been there like 6 or 7 trips) and then i saw it when henrik and phil came and i thought it looked pretty good. So i went again with decent expectations and was super disappointing
