Best Parks in the World?

[Maruchan]

I know if you google this you'll come up with a few sites that have ranked some parks, but I'm curious... What does NS think? Post your favorite few parks and why you picked them. Mine: keystone. Great jumps, has a few different sub-parks for different skill levels which is nice and it's an all around great environment.

if youre an east coaster Mount Snow is like a playland when its fully built, mid week, mid season

 

[Maruchan]

I havent been to the east coast (I want to) but from watching the B+E show it seems like the east gets super creative with snow formations which is pretty cool.

This gnarly ass feature. So prime doh. View attachment 428627

East coast: mt snow

West Coast: park city or whistler blackcomb

Mt.Snow may have an ass load of features but most of them are baby features and set up very generically. They also hardly change any features around throughout the season and do not properly maintain them on busy days. Sugarbush on the other hand puts out some of the most unique features I have ever seen. The park is always kept in the best shape; no bomb hole landings, no ruts in the take-offs of any features. Yes they may only have one run devoted to the park, but it'll be the best park run you take on the east coast.

Legit response now. Midwest- spirit mountain (perfection), granite peak (perfection), giants ridge (fun as hell, slow lift though), hyland (only on school day mornings, otherwise it's a clusterfuck), trollhaugen (awesome rails), powder ridge (awesome rails), Afton (awesome jumps)

Tremblant also has very well maintained features, and poppy jumps.

Mount Snow - because nitro is so goddamn fun

Mammoth - because everything

 

[HuckNorris44]

Summit County + has the best early season parks anywhere

{Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper}

Appalachian Ski Mountain in Boone NC has a park superior to most east coast resorts on only 350 vertical feet.

In Michigan I would have to say Marquette when they build the super park. The prolly Burg and hopefully Brighton once they have everything fully built

Perfect north slopes is pretty damn good for the midwest.

 

[FuckAllOfYou]

i was joking and if they even had something like that it'd be a fucking improvement.

I am so glad I abandoned that shithole.

I had to ski there last saturday, it was my worst ski experience HANDS DOWN. You know those huge mounds of blown snow pre - groomed? They had a feature on top of one of those. Now it might sound fun, but... god damn it I can't even explain how fucking horrible that place is.

sugarubush is all baby features too. ill be skiing there this year because its so much fun but the features are really tiny. jumps especially. Gulch booters are usually pretty decent sized but sugarbush jumps are small ish tables

 

[*Nickdel*]

I mean when the run the park is on is only 300 vertical and has 30 plus rail features its kind of hard to make big jumps. Plus Sugarbush isn't really known for their jumps; even though they are pretty nice

 

[AidanCski]

imo - eastcoast = sugarbush, and mount snow, west coast = breck, keystone, park city, mammoth, and whistler
