The past couple of seasons Ive been skiing Stratton, but am trying to bounce around the east coast more and hit some spots I probably wouldn't think of, so I have a few questions.
What mountain in Connecticut has the best parks or the best park scene?
What PA mountain has the best parks or scene? I always hear 7 Springs but what else is worth checking out?
I've never skied New Hampshire and definitely want to change that, I've heard good things about Loon, are there other spots worth hitting?Because of work I can get free tickets to Mont Tremblant but I know nothing about the place, anyone know whats good over there? Like what runs to hit, best time of the year to go, if the parks are decent?
Definitely been dreaming of riding the Chic Chocs as well, anyone have any beta about taking a trip there without spending a fortune?
Also if I havent mentioned your area but your local has some sick shit going on I'd love to hear about it!
Much love for anyone who can give some solid advice or chime in, thanks!

Gunstock NH is my local and I love it. Smaller than loon but the vibe is dope. That and waterville is a must hit for park. Cannon mtn if you want some insane all mountain runs.

In PA check out Big Boulder. It is relatively cheap, andd basically pure park and they have the dopest park crew. In Connecticut I've heard about Ski Sundown. In vermont I loved Jay Peak but that was for skiing trees

Oh and I have been to Tremblant a bunch of times. My favorite run there is an extremely narrow double black called ray guy. You'll need sme fresh snow to do it. They're park is pretty good but when I was there it was very cold so I did not feel like hitting the park. Also they have excellent trees. Definitely check them out. Any questions just ask I'd be happy to help.

This for PA.

If you’re in western PA 7 springs is the spot. If you’re in eastern PA boulder is the spot.

Roundtop does some fun setups but the park is on one of the shortest slopes so the jump scene doesn’t really exist. But jibs are fun there.

This is true but if you are more near central PA go big boulder. I'm directly on between the 2 and I always pick boulder

So it sounds like Cannon is kinda the spot on a good snow day, what are the must hits? Where are the rowdy lines?

Kinsman glades and tram line are two of the gnarlier trails there that are marked for sure. But feel free to explore as well, dope place and dope vibe

yeah tram line and kinsman are sick (both are far skier's right), mittersill (far skier's left peak, lots of glades and shit (and warnings that it's a natural habitat for peregrine falcons, which is tight) is awesome, the 5 steep groomers at the bottom of the mountain (looker's left) are fun to bomb, and there are a bunch of other sick parts plus they have a pretty good park too
