Underrated Parks

Keystone, Breck, Mammoth, etc. are known for having incredible parks.

That being said, there are probably a good amount of places that don't get all the attention that Breck, Key, etc. get.

IMO: Winter Park is underrated. Overall really nice park, unique features, well kept, and Dark Territory.

Let me hear your opinions..

OxcilicThredbo's parks


Definitely would not put Thredbo next to Keystone, Breck or Mammoth.

It's fun, but there's a lot less features, and Merritts gets absolutely bombarded with gappers.

Any time in the past 8 years I have gone to liberty I have been disappointed. I heard they got a new park manager though so may have to try to get there sometime this year. There is so much potential on vertigo.

Sugarloaf has an awesome park. Big jumps, and well built features. Not to mention dope skiing all over the mountain and a great town. Park there doesn't get skied as much or noticed tho cause it's so far north.

CameraWizSpirit Mountain.


When Spirit is on, it is freaking ON. The only issue is the lips to some or the rails are really awkward, either super poppy or gap ride ons. Most of them are pretty nice though. Jumps are hit and miss but when the groomer man does his job well they can be porn.

KianBarrettTrollhaugen doesn't get too much attention.


It sure does on yobeat, but this isn't yobeat. Troll is awesome.

Cannonsburg is pretty well known in the Midwest but their parks are prime, and Bittersweet stepped their game up huge this season. Doesn't really compare to Key/Breck/Mammoth but dope nonetheless

Tremblant in quebec has such an insane park for the east coast and the chair for the park almost never has super crazy lines. The kids who ride here are also crazy good

Yeah honestly. Peek and Seven Springs are on par in my opinion. I'm going to say none of these people have ever been there though so it's kind of hilarious that it got so downvored. Or maybe it's because I'm the one who said it. Oh well.

Not as good as Springs, but for the size of the hill Peak kills it. Don't knock it til ya ride it.

Woodward has really upped the park in recent years. Went by copper a week ago while my pass to vail was suspended and I loved it. Found it on par or close to keystone.

For being a park in the midwest Troll has such an insane rail game. Honestly, they just get it when it comes to building parks. Their park crew is super good as well. Granite is a ton of fun to but I guess it isn't "underrated".
