ok, I should be going up to Ann Arbor to see my sister and I need to know what's at the parks at the resorts nearby. I would like to know, what the pipes are like, how many and how big jumps are and what rails and boxes are at mt. brighton, alpine valley and mt. holly. Thanks

Pine Knob is probably the best in southeast michigan but I think Brighton is the closest to Ann Arbor. Mt. Holly is usually pretty fun but thats not that close either.

Does your sister go to U of M?

I was just at Pine Knob today and the park is looking good. This is what they have set up:

3 booters

Elevated c box

Car jib (car frame that you can slide) not very cool

Flat rail

Flat Box

Rainbow Rail

Quarter pipe w/ a 20 ft round rail on the top, similar to copeing

At pine knob, what's the rail at the top of the quarter pipe? I'm having trouble picturing it.

What's up at mt. holly?
what's the pipe like at brighton? and aren't there ANY jumps at all there?

thanks for all the replies, yall are being very helpful. I hope to see yall on the slopes later in february.


Oh yeah, my sister does go to U of M.
