Big mountain or park?

I like to do both. If I really had to choose, it would be big mountain. It captures more of the essence of skiing...

I'm not a big fan of pure park rats on the WC... it's hard to justify people who only ski the park on the west coast when there's so much powder you could ski instead. I like both, but big mtn over park
 
I love both. My favorite run in the world is at Schweitzer. There's a cornice drop into some bowl chutes that are super fun. They lead you straight to the park. Best of both worlds...
 
Learn tricks in the park and then take them to the big mountain. If i had to choose one thing then it'd be side mountain powder and pillow lines..
 
never skied a real big mtn line. but when i go outwest for comps and trips. in my free time i ski more pow in trees and drop cliffs than in the park. just because i don;t get the chance to on the east coast
 
Whatever the conditions favor, but right now I would love to drop in on a 3K powder bowl and just start maching turns through 2 feet of amazingness.
 
truthfully, i would take a run in the park then a run in the pow almost anyday unless its sunny, i get first tracks, about 2 feet of snow and a really steep run. other than that, park.
 
Hell yeah! South Bowl rock is the shit too when the conditions are right. I personally prefer the runs that drop off the Great Divide like Misfortune. CO has bigger mountains with more terrian but most of it is too easy. Especially vail, its big but its like the Disney Land of skiing as far as going outside the park. Now I guess ill have to sit back and wait for Tedlangty to come out of his hole and find this thread to talk more shit about Schweitzer. Bring it on motherfucker...
 
being on the east coast, i think i might ski park slightly more. but when it dumps, there is nothing better than some sick trees and ec cliffs. powder over park anyday. im also much better at it.
 
Obviously pow is the best part of skiing but it is so rare that you need something to do in between dumps. Thats where park comes in.
 
ive adapted big mountain as my favorite ski discipline

but thats what you get for skiing kicking horse

park amuses me

but so does kicking snow
 
I love park when its a spring day but most of the time If there is Pow I would rather take the big mountain pow lines with some fatty skis
 
i like nothing more than ripping powder, hitting drops, charging through trees etc. but i have never skied anything close to big mountain and seriously question how many of kids on here have.
