For future traveling, I was wondering if any of you could tell me some of the best parks on mountains in the U.S or in other regions. I'm curious to know the popularity of different parks and where they are.
 
If only NS would release the results of last years park poll we could find the best parks in an area we're interested in..
 
Aside from all the shitty east coast mountains, I've skied Breck, Park City, and Keystone. Out of all of them, Keystone A51 was by far my favorite park. Here's why:

-The double chair (can't remember the name of it) only services the park. This means no Jerries/Gapers.

-Keystone also doesn't have as much as a "Family oriented" vibe as Breck does.

-The Alley at Keystone has the best flow out of any park I've ever ridden.

-They have jumps of all sizes and are very creative with their features. The jump line at A51 has some of the most well constructed jumps I've ever hit. Hit every one of them without knuckling or overshooting once.

I second this.

Conways jumps are always set up perfect so that you don't have to scrub speed between each one. Lips for rails are almost always pristine and they have a nice variety of kinks and creative rails.

No. The full data. Then if I'm going to say Quebec City I can look up what people have said for that area. Top 5/10's are useless.

I really dislike participating in surveys to never be able to see the full results. Be more like StatsCan. Take all the raw data put it in a big CSV document and make it available.

I'll make you an offer. If you send me the raw data I'll send you back a geodatabase with the data spatially displayed and averaged out so with very little effort it can be displayed on a Google Maps API and when you click on a resort the average jump quality, maintenance, rail quality etc scores are displayed.

I could also prepare professional quality maps with whatever data from the survey you want displayed that you could be printed as nice posters.
