How is the park at big sky right now

Bridger is a super fun mountain: good park... the ridge... But - c'mon - let's be honest. Big Sky is sick. Do they have some $30 pass to just access the park?
 
i have to differ, i dont ski either of them very often but i have had way more fun at bridger and bridger seems to have a better ratio of good skiing to flat boring runs than bs. plus with my showdown season pass i can get a bridger ticket for like $30. i don't know about a park pass for bs but i would guess no because they try to milk as much money out of you as possible... isnt a lone peak pass like $80?? that is ridiculous its not like you could ski that much in a day anyway
 
Just to prevent false rumors, bridger does not have a good park. For montana standards they have an ok park, for national standards they don't have a park. However, they have some sick terrain.
 
I find Big Sky's terrain to be pretty mundane. There will be the few days every once in a while when a-z have good coverage and those are fun, but other than that all they really have are huge open runs. I feel like I'm just skiing to get somewhere when I can look half a mile down the mountain and see zero variation. If they'd open the Little Couloir up to the public that'd be fun a couple times, but aside from that Bridger's terrain is WAY more interesting.
 
holy shit this thread got changed fast, i believe the kid asked how the park is at BIG SKY. i also want to know, mainly how the tables are
 
here is the tilt on one of bridger's rails

Snowbar is finally over allowing us to concentrate on parks again. Amubush goes 25ft table into 35ft table both with long landings so you can take them deep. 30ft square and 37ft round bar both set up street style down lead into the pipe and quarter pipe at the bottom. More rails going in amubush soon as well as a jump line being pushed to the left of the pipe. Swifty has a flatdown box, 20ft flatbox into a 5 jump line on the right and a rail line being setup on the left currently with a round bar, flat rail and a c box at the bottom. Explorer park has some beginner rails, boxes and rollers open for the mini shreds. Feel free to stop and talk with me or anyone else on the park crew. Were always open for input and ideas.... unless your a d-bag. Late- Isaac
 
only if there's new snow from what ive heard from everyone i know who skis there. and he asked how the park was , so im assuiming he wants to hit a real park
 
wow this thread kinda sucks, but i'm headin out to montana in like a week, i mainly ski park, or powder if there will be any. How is big sky's park cuz no one's really answered that to well, and where else has nice jumps?
 
Some photos for ya. Don't really have any pics of the current rail setups but these are most of the jumps. You can hit 4 jumps in a run on Ambush park and 7 small ones in a row in Swifty.

Meh, I was up there last weekend and it was pretty mediocre... I was expecting much more from all the hype about the jumps, they'd be great if you didn't have to play Bode Miller going into them. The ones next to the pipe are super smooth, but if you don't clean the first one, your fucked for the second. First two were alright, pretty damn floaty, but inconsistent.

Rails were pretty sick in the big park, minus the fact that there were only two of them... Still super fun down rails though for sure. Mini park was dope, couldn't get speed for half the jumps as usual, but the jibs were super dope. Over all, I'd rather stay and ski GD's park. But, that's just an opinion... Didn't hit the pipe, but it looked pristine.
 
I love it when the underdog resort out does the big overpriced ones! Great Divide FTW! By the way Great Divide's park is super sick this year!
 
yeah, i'm not that great of a skier, but you rarely landed on the sweet spot, just about everyone was overshooting them or barely making it past the knuckle, it was way weird
 
I often find myself overclearing the landings or knuckling cause they cant drive cats to make those jumps worth a shit. Always a little different and incosistent they need a new driver.
 
Decks are built pretty tall definatly tall enough to more the "lips" ramps" back a little bit to be able to take it long. Seems like the tranny would meet better if they were set a little farther back. Park crew works great, good group of guys that is why the park has made inprovements this season.
 
Pretty sick right now, Speed SUCKS. If the speed were better on the jump lines it would be epic. Yesterday I could clear both top jumps if I tucked it straight through, but I couldn't get enough speed if I dropped in switch. Kinda sucked but still an epic day.
