I heard a rumour that Sunshine was going to put in a new park with less suck than the last one... not that it'd be too tough to top last years.

Anyone hear anything about this?

no it makes sense that they would improve the park cuase park is for alot of people now a major reason why they go to certain hills as well as southern alberta freestyle moving there from fortress i'm guessing htey might have something to do with the improvment

ha maybe we had something to do about it but i don't think so. the ski patrol there are the most uptight any where. one time we tried to ad a bit of a lip to a natural step down and the patrol tottaly shut down the entire operation and they were big dicks. I think they always want to compare to louise and do whatever louise does they gotta meet those standards and since louise jacked up their park sunshine will try it too...but the ski patrol there doesn't seem like the sick park building crew so i don't know, i hope you're right!.. but i don't know.

Comparing the Lake's park to Sunshine is like comparing carp to shit. The Lake's park is okay, but not even close to what any given resort in the States would have...

Sunshine's park is useless...

I think COP is where it's at...

thats not true at all...the lakes park compared pretty good to Vail's....the lake isnt the best, but its the best in alberta.

thatd be sick if they up'd the ante at sunshine. that s-coaster is sick but they definatley need to improve the jumps and such. and your right the patrol there are super uptight.

Which of Vail's three parks are you talking about? The one serviced by its own high speed quad? Vail isn't known for its parks anyway, Breck and Keystone have parks that put the Lake's to shame. And all three resorts are within a half hour of each other.

screw sunshine, and just go to big white, and then you can hit up whistler too...but big whites' park is gonna kick ass this year, something like a 2.5 million dollar expansion thery're making a chalet, and a quad up to it, superpipe, and a halfpipe, and rails and jumps galore!

lopth you're being a moron, you said that lake doesn't compare to most american parks and ian just said that it does compare to vail and vail is one of the best in the states because it has us freeski open and all that poo and then you pop out breck and key which are like 2 of the best in alll the states (sept mam) but there are so many others hils so cut your logic is flawed and you should drown...especially because you said the park at lake is crap which is not cool at all

Louise had Superpark last year and they bought a Zaugg pipe cutter. It's pretty damn good there now.

Nakiska is waaay underrated too. their park is awesome for jumps and flow.

Big White is all talk. Sure they're gonna have an old double chair that services it, but I can't see them having anything good in there besides maybe the pipe if they pull it together. They have had a worse park than the last year's for 4 years in a row... where else does that happen?

I didn't say that the Lake's park was crap, I said that places like Vail, Breck, Keystone, June, Mammoth, Copper, etc. have parks that make the Lake's look like Sunshine's (which IS crap) I think that COP and Nakiska both have half decent parks that are comparable to Louise's.

I'd rather spend two days at COP than one day in Louise's park. Same price. If you're going just for the park...

No way dude. the pipe at Louise is gonna be amazing, the jumps are always perfect, COP might have better rails, but we'll see.

COP is soooo dope this year. I just got back today, they have like fitty billion rails, the pipe was so soft and vuluptous, and the jumps were huge. Too bad my season is over in a couple of weeks. Stupid shoulders.

louise pipe is the biggest POS pipe anywhere that i have riden, its the crapiest place for a pipe, the one at kimberly is better( which is sad, but cop has the best pipe), and i dunno about the 2 days at cop 1 at louise thing, cause louise has such a variety and all the big jumps arent very icy, plus u dont get all the little groms u get at cop

'the pipe was so soft and vuluptous'

That is just how i like my.... pipes.

Hopefully now that COP has expanded they will take better care of the park, cuz it gets scraped up pretty bad pretty quick.

Louise is getting a bigger pipe this year. Its a Zaugg cutter so the tranny will be much bigger, and the walls higher. Hopefully the steepness wont be as much of a factor this year with the bigger trannies.

yeah, i had the pleasure of skiing in banff this past season, (i live in toronto) and was surprised at the park, or lack there of, at sunshine, i guess people dont really go there for the park, when the snows over ur head, but its always a nice alternative, i hope its a little beefier this year
