I always hear Hyland is the best, but I've never been there. I go to Trollhaugen a lot - they had a nice 60/50 foot table last year and a bunch of other jumps and rails.

the only problem i hear at hyland is the tow rope. doesnt i shred gloves like a dish disposal? and last year wild mountain didnt even have a park, just a pipe with a jump at the end. (if i remember)

i ride giants ridge, we have an awesome park and pretty many twin tip riders. 6 or 7 rails, a half pipe, last year we had a bus gap, 4 tables anywhere from 20ft-80ft and tons more. its about an hour or so north of duluth.

I might hafta check out spirit and wild this year, cause wild redid the whole park and pipe, and spirits park is supposedly 3 times longer than before. Hyland does have a rope (super high speed rope) that can let you do a lap in under a minute on a good day. The rope will tear your gloves if you dont have glove guards, so get some before going. Its fine if you come down at speed then carve back up right onto the rope because you go as fast as the rope and it doesnt tear up gloves because you just grab it at that point and hold on. Giant's bus was fuckin awesome, but the landing was about a foot wide at the top. Hopefully it will be a tad nicer this year, but still the biggest and best park in MN. Hyland is my favorite metro-area place even though its small because they still have plenty of stuff to play around with.

I just got back from giants ridge its was very nice. there park was very nice they had the two size jump in one and i liked those alot bertter than what we get at highland. also there pipe is the best ive riden although that may not be saying much seeing as i havent riden very many pipes but it also had lots of difficult terrain so tht was a nice change.

I like how Mt Kato has like 2 1/2 jumps (the one at the top is only 1/2 because it has no landing)

haha, someday I'll make a ski area and have like 5.389358 jumps just to mess with people, because we'll really have like 10 but just say that to be funny, and have two halfpipes but then advertise it as a whole pipe, cause .5+.5=1 and that would be sweet.

I ski at Powder Ridge, Buck Hill, and sometimes Spirit Mountain. If you see a kid with a yellow coat green helmet, doing big trix and whiping out, and his name is Erik, then that's me.

the one at the top is supposed to be a hip, i think or at least that's what they tell us. oh, and now we have 2 'rails' which are 2 boxes with a rail on each side so your sliding it in front of and behind your binding.

If you don't like the two paths in front of you, take the third!

the passes at spirit are cheap for your first year, then expensive for every other year, i think they should like have it get less expensive for every year you get one cuz then i'd be getting mine for cheap

Wild is the place to be this year. I know the guy who is charge of the park and they are supposed to be putting in a huge system with speakers thoughout the park. I try and ride at Afton, but they kill you on the landings and lack of jumps to hit. But it's only 5 minutes away and there is something to be said for that. Anyone going to do any rail sessions in the cities?

I went to troll last year and it was terrible...their jumps were very small and the one decent one they had was sketch ball because the landing was literally four feet long. Maybe I just went too late in the season. Their rails were decent...bad fun box.

mount kato claims they are gonna have 3 parks this year with some good rails (rainbow, couple of diff. kinks, ect). two parks are supposed to be beginner with little hits and the main one will have the same hip as always and then 2 tables. what really sucks is they havent even made an effort of blowing any snow there even though it's cold enough and the snow guns are even positioned there but they just wont turn them on. bitches.

I agree afton is gay as shit. their rails are like a foot of the ground and stupid. Not worth the trouble of riding the lift up the hill. Hyland is almost always a safe bet for park monkeys like myself. I also ski lutsen, spirit, coffee, Lacrose, welch and tyrol.
