"the rough and tumble battles that lead to progression occur in the park and pipe environment, once tricks are nailed and style defined that the next obvious place to take new moves and skills is to the mountains: to push limits on natural terrain, in unpredictable conditions." ....I was skeptical of this post at first but nicely put, one day I'll hit big mountain...
To me its never been about drawing a line between big mountain and park... I mean what skier in their right mind would ride the park when there's deep snow?
On the opposite side, the park offers a lot of fun when there's no snow, or you're at a mountain with no BC to ride.
