carrettaU men have clearly never skied in the mid Atlantic..... liberty mountain anyone?
peter0516Hunter In New York can't build a park for shit
crab_pretzelayyyy cmon now man i grew up skiing there and they did alright. haven't been in like 3 years so idk how bad it got with these recent shitty seasons but I was always pretty happy with what they had to offer. people could dub their main jump line it used to be pretty nice
Shoey-SkiTussey Mountain Parks
That is a 7foot tall wall ride stood up and down, with 2 lips roughly 1 foot each, and almost no landing the plastic on the top is almost unslideable btw
TOAST.Idk man i think that looks pretty fun assuming the landing aint bad, just gotta ollie some. And knowing the park manager there im sure he was looking for a good ollie.
03gadeThe shitty mountain I worked at I'm CT: powder ridge. It was the first year of the reopen after being shutdown for nearly a decade and the new owner essentially found some old rails hanging around and had no qualified park crew so just kind of put them down and made some crappy ride ins.
Oh, and then he went and drove the snow cat by himself to make jumps one night and we get to work and it's kickers that were right on the edge of of the landing spots that were formed by mounds in the grass underneath. We had to send some people up to try and dismantle the kickers by hand so noone got hurt. After that fiasco we made a instructor with cat experience our terrain park manager and I left after that season.
Anyone from the ski sundown community reading this: never go to powder ridge.
Krazymtb2Search up buena vista ski area on YouTube they never have a amazing park but it's better then nothing👌
itsJacobWhat is the worst park you have been too
BraydenNemarichSki sundown Connecticut has 1 8"foot down rail and they took down all other features to use the take off snow to cover patches.
ben.allan.7315Are you talking about Monarch? Lol they have a park thats like the length of the mountain and sponsored by Never Summer and everything but every time I've been its been like 1 feature every 300 feet
Sam_Califfmad river mountain in Ohio. i was there in the dead middle of winter and it felt like the park crew didn't give a fuck.
The.FishYea i heard mad river is awful this year. Usually its the best park in ohio. This year snow trails put in a ton of work and had an amazing setup.
spushkinProblem is the slope used is too flat and most the lips are awkward and you have to skip the entire park to hit the jump sometimes. The setup always looks awesome at first, but when you hit it you realize it's not as good as it seemed and then after skiing the same setup hundreds of times, you hate it.
They setup the features in ways that you can't really learn tricks with low risk, and the beginner park is just too beginner. There's no gap to learn those intermediate tricks.
The.FishYou just described bmbw perfectly. From what i have seen in past years, mad river has setup features pretty melo. I havent seen much this year, probably because it sucks.
spushkinYeah I literally logged in for the first time in over 3 years just to add that. Bmbw at least had decent looking, keyword looking, jumps. Don't know if you've ever been to snow trails, but have you seen the waterfall? That is the single worst rail I have ever, ever, seen and the way they set it up is just plain stupid. West woods should be a jump line and alpine should be a park all the way from top to bottom. Or vice versa.
JakeBarrettWell brundage doesn't have one anymore, and Tammy is on its way back after being bankrupt. Give it a few more years, tamarack will come back.
The.FishI don't understand your logic. I get kids at bmbw who say snow trails has an amazing park, atleast rail wise. We have good jumps but the rails are awful. They don't maintain them in the off season and lay them in the mud so they cover in rust. If you fall on one, its a guaranteed giant rust stain. The waterfall at snow trails looks sick compared to ours. Our sections are like 3 ft long and have a 1.5 foot drop in between them. I haven't seen a skier hit it. BMBW used to be sick but the last 2-3 years have been awful.
spushkinDamn man. I have never personally been there, the la1 edits tho make it seem alright. It's just Ohio though in reality and the lack of maintenance and variety.
The.FishThat guy only films when the conditions and park are amazing. Chad nicolson also is high up in park crew so he basically builds these insane transfers for his sponsorship edits. They finally put up a decent park the last 2 weeks

SconnieYou're on crack if you think granite peak has a bad park. It's top 5 in the Midwest overall, but the jumps are by far the best in the Midwest. Nobody else has a 60-footer.

murphyboiiiiAnd with the weather we've gotten this year, and last. It's hard to say any park in the midwest is "good".
SconnieAll you midwest homies have been complaining about the bad weather and I don't know what the hell you are talking about. This has been a really good winter.

the_yock_34Hyland Hills in MN. used to be known for having a really good park and they have the features to do it, but the park crew the past few years seems to think keeping the same set up for like 3 months is fun. Basically the park sucks ass.Yep. Wasted money on a season pass and a spot on the Nybora ski team there. The park was total garbage and I don't know why the fucking park crew decided to paint everything blue. At least pencil was on a knuckle for some time.

JTTremblesJay peak these past couple seasons
murphyboiiiiIt rained all of Christmas week, was 70 out in the middle of February, and is currently 60 out. It's only march 4th and all semi-local ski hills are closed up for the season... If we got any snow, it rained shortly after and was all melted within 2 weeks of falling.
Not trying to be a party pooper here, but if you've been skiing for more than 3 years you'd know that this by no means was a good winter for the midwest.
baitGotta love the spools
