Whiteface Parks changes

In other words…our lessons make more money than our park so get fucked lol

At my home hill they just take lessons through the park and pretend the features aren't there

Not familiar with Whiteface and personally prefer longer twisting park runs, but seems like its changing to a more sugarbush style setup with everything condensed off of one chair. Seems like it could still be pretty good?

I was pretty sad to hear about this and will of course miss the long Park run down The Face Lift, but this has potential to be very good for the quality of the park, and the Park Scene at Whiteface which is definitely not what it used to be.

Tyler, is our awesome Park groomer/manager at Whiteface and was a Park Groomer/manager at Bush Parks for a very long time before he moved back home to the Adirondack. The past few seasons he set up some of the most fun and creative stuff I've seen at the mountain for a while, but due to staffing issues ORDA rules that Whiteface Parks has, he was having an extremely difficult time maintaining the features the way he wanted to along with grooming that whole entire run in one shift. I believe in previous years there was more than one groomer a night in the park.

As homie said above this change will make things more like Sugarbush Parks which is not a bad thing at all. We'll have our own lift for the park, one that's not on wind hold nearly as much as The Face Lift and usually has a shorter line. Plus you can still take a nice top to bottom run from the summit, or gondola and end up at the park at the bottom. You can also now hit approach to mountain run/wilderness/parkway off the gondola and still be able to hit the whole entire park too.

Not having the park on Broadway and Brookside from The Face lift is definitely the end of an era, but i think that we're in for some really nice park set ups this season that whiteface has never seen before. Honestly, Broadway and Brookside were both horrible narrow flat trails to have the park on anyways and limited a lot of their capabilities with what they could do with the groomer.

I'm excited to get back on my skis this season, and see what Tyler and The Crew put together for us in the new park.

Honestly hated how flat the old park trail was pumped to see what they cook up

When they centralized mount snows terrain parks it was the best thing that ever happened to the mountain, idk if Bush was ever separated but having all parks accessible from one lift seem to make for a good scene

Had some of the best days of my life skiing that park in college.

Hope the new setup is just as fun for the next generation!

I‘d be optimistic about this, def an end of a era. Love watching the old STE and Meathead shoots at the face. But more space, and less busy terrain could be good for the parks. Plus whiteface has invested in a few new lifts. Would be excited to see it become a better version of bush. With sick parks and even better freeride terrain

Same thing happened at my home mtn. You not wrong here.

ya definitely exciting as well,
I hope they take the child locks off the warhorse though

I made it to the face for the first time in closing day this past season, definitely want to hit it up again. I love the old school spread out / top to bottom park runs. Features were pretty lit on closing day, the park looked sick from some edits I watched. All off one lift has its perks for sure but I enjoy a longer run

The top to bottom layout was rad, but It was super flat. If you scrubbed a little speed on a landing, you had to skate to the next feature.

also having park kids with no edges cross paths and bottle neck with a green jerries run in icy conditions doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Can’t believe I’m back at that shithole this year
