I was there today and i was pretty dissapointed. Yes, the rails and pipe were alright but the hits sucked. I really hope this is just the beginning.

i was there today, thought it was pretty good. besides the pipe. the rails were dank and the hits were pretty good, especially the last 'big' one. throwin down safety 180's over that is pretty fun. i dono i thought it was overall pretty good.

There park will always suck They dont mange the space well. And they need other types of jumps besides step downs and tables. They dont pack enough stuff into it.

They had a trapazoid, triangle, and a straight rail. I think that they packed too much stuff into the park. The hits were so close together that it gave no speed to hit the next one unless you didn't stop. I would have like t see two big hits instead of 8 or so medium and small hits.

fuck sunapee.. go to waterville. if not there, go to loon... if not there... go somewhere in maine or vt, but not sunapee... their park sucks, the mountain sucks, and the people who run the place suck.

sure its not that great but they got hit by that last storm big time and loon didnt get shit. besides there is that one good hit in the park and when there is snow the summit glades are pretty ill.

dude, dont ride the summit glades. Instead follow one of the tracks into the woods on ridge and ski those to the bottom. So much better and it never gets skiid out. and waterville, that place blows more than sunapee. The place was sooooo bulletproof the other day. ice ice ice. You cant argue that sunapee gets the best snow in the state. 25-30 inches tonight.

sunnapee is ok, i like the way their freestyle team and everyone there sux, so they are all amazed when u hit the rail or do anything. i like waterville, best place to get advice, but im not that great and i hate 10 year olds shown me up pulln 720s and shit.

Final Verdict:
Sunnapee- if u wanna feel good about yourself
Waterville- if u wanna learn somthn
Anywhere else further north- who gives a shit...snows good. (but a long drive comes wit it)

the freestyle team at sunapee does suck. They are the bump team. we dont have a 'park' team. There are kids there that are just as good as the kids at waterville. Dont judge a mountain by the organized team, cuz anyone half decent doesnt join the team.

Sunapee just doesnt have a good place for a park. After the big hit the gradient is to steep for any jumps. And they need to put more stuff on the right side and they need a hip/ table like last year on the right.

obviosuly there are peole as good as some of the kids at waterville. BUt there is no one who can come close to MOST of the the kids at WAterville. seriously, think about it. there's a reason three of the WV kids are going to X-Quals. Also, when's the last time sunapee had a good comp??? never. WV has one almost every weekend. WV is far superior to sunapee. game, set, point.

Sunapee is a decent place if you live in western NH and don't want to drive the extra deserved distance to VT. Otherwise stick to Waterville, their rails are good, nice hits, and even pipe.

well sunapee totally rebuilt their park this week, 2 big hips, replaced the big air with two booterish tables(pretty sick) added 3 new rails including a trap thats 5'x 10' x 16'. the pipe was bad by the 1/4 pipe was really nice. all the jumps are much better, if your in the area check it out.

sunapee has a descent park, but its not steep enough so you have to bomb into some of the hits to make the landing and they have a no invert rule which is pretty retarted. in my opinion the best park skiing in NE is waterville and mt snow. they both have really nice and crisp parks

ive got a seasons pass to sunapee and i hafta say that their QP is dope. the hips as ok and the 2nd jump used to be a nice small gap, but just hike the quarter pipe, or hit the unknown trails. Go about 30-50 yards past the trail Dare Ya and there is something unmarked called DOuble Dare Ya but the locals. its the only steep stuff there, and its sorta fun.

NOFX there is also some cliff off of goose bumps. And you can ski off the back side fo the mountain behind the summit lodge.

at the top of goosebumps, on the right side of the trail you'll see tracks leading into the woods, there is a trail in there named 'tin can alley' and it was cut by the freestyle team, after a snowstorm it's so fun to ski, there's a good 10-15 foot drop in there too, if you keep looking around you'll find other rocks and stuff to jump off too

they just got a zaugg cutter and they are putting a superpipe on Elliot. hopefully they will step the park up this year; it sucked last year. oh yeah, tin can is fun, but the best stuff on the whole mountain is off of Williamson. if you IM me, my sn is ReggaeConcept, i can either tell you where it is or ill ski with you to show you the best parts this winter

i really think sunapee is improving their park this year. today is december 21 and the park is decent, they have 2 nice step downs, and one is pretty big, they also have one table. the jumps don't have huge lips like they did last year. they also have some rails set up on blast off. and if you wait a little while until the cataract glades is open, then that trail will be sick!

reggaeconcept stinks at skiing, he can't even do a 180 that's how bad he is, he lies all the time about skiing. Don't talk to him, block him
