I'm trying to hit some new mountains this winter. Carinthia and Sugarbush are already on the list, anything else in New England I should know about?
 
Killington Stratton loon and mt snow are bigger parks well built but I think due to the amount of people and lift access it makes lapping annoying. Just be prepared for laps to take a long time if your not hiking.

I'll disagree with adding stratton to your list. Their parks have been subpar for the past 5+ years and always set up super late in the year. Usually only a very small beginner park is setup by MLK weekend. Park laps there are easy since the AMEX lift dumps you off right at the top.

Mt Snow gets crowded after 11am. If you session their Nitro park in the morning you can easily get laps in before all the bomb holes in the landings show up. But yes. its like the long island expressway from 11-4 there. It frankly sucks.

Killington builds a proper park and definitely rivals Mt Snow.
 
Take off a Monday and ski Carinthia when no one is here that's the move! Other than that Bush and Big Boulder (I know PA is not part of NE) both have super rad parks. Can't speak much on anything other than that... I've heard Killington's decent but the parks are spread out so its hard to lap. Hope to see ya around

Sugarloaf is one of my favorite mountains in the east, but their park isn’t special. Wish they’d do more cuz then it would probably be #1

I definitely disagree, the loaf is the only place I've been to on the east that builds their jumps as step overs, every other place I've been to (loon, Sunday river) it's step downs/flat tables
 
Who does the best job of building quality jumps and landings is my first question? I’m the north east say .... pa north to Canada

i frequent snowshoe and I feel their jumps shoot me straight up and their landings are too flat , the silver creek park there is better but I’d prefer steeper landings still

not counting jay and mrg who’s got the best NON PARK natural hits and features , sidehits, and drops , rollers etc?
