Likes:some of the most epic pow days everlots and lots and lots of terrainfun people who live in the valleygood drink/food specials in town after skiingwhen the pass gets snowed in, people can't come from the east, so pretty much only the locals get the first tracks from a big storm
Dislikes:there's almost toooo much terrain, been living there for a season now and it's impossible to ski everythingpark sucks, in general, until like 2 weeks near the end of the seasonoverall, not really steep enough for my liking...sometimes i just want gnarlier lines

smuggs
likes:
-free t bar cause they never check so i can bring friends
-free crackers and water at the caf
-free hot chocolate at the end of the day on thursdays and fridays
-sick hidden trails all over
-my cottage is super close
-doesnt usually have a big line up
-super chill patrollers, except some of them
-everyones really nice including the gapers
-the village is so sick. especially in the summer
dislikes:
-park staff is a complete fucking jokei dont even think they have a park staff im pretty sure its just the dude who does the events that "takes care" of it
-slow ass chairs. not that bad though cause theres less people on the hill
-10 dollar prizes for a 20 $ entry fee comp
-there are races EVERY FUCKING DAY. and you need to take the t bar to cross over the race course to hit the mini park and the fucking douche bag soccer moms always complain. fuck them. i dont have anything against racers but they also clog up our t bar and caf.
-they dont have many comps each year. and when they do they try and make their setup really crazy but it just ends up being dangerously sketchy cause they dont know what theyre fucking doing.
-almost everything is ride on. there idea of a street style rail is a super non kicky jump, and then a rail thats super fucking high up but isnt even in a down
-once they had an actual legit down that i set up but some fuckhead patroller closed it off cause he thought it wasnt safe enough.
-3 foot gap to get onto a 6 foot rail....
-super non-progressive lips so they kick you right away into this ultra flat landing thats covered in ice. yum
-no more half pipe this year
-no more free hot chocolate at the end every week. ad now you have to finish an hour early just to go get some.
-gapers everywhere you look. but every mountain is like that pretty much
-fucking d bags wont even let me groom there unmaintained setups for fucking free cause i got mad once and tackled a gaper who fucked up my landing on purpose
-huge icy vaginas in every landing of every rail. my favorite
-battle ship box literally goes like this _ their rainbow rail also does that too. and theyre super short
____/ \_____
and digusting, like in my little drawing
-nails stick out of boxes sometimes
-because of some vermont law smuggs has to limit their snowmaking. kind of understandable though.
-they dont belive in step ups
-they always ask us for input but dont listen, they just pretend to and make the shittiest stuff ever
-the t bar is like 50 years old and breaks literally every half hour. it gets so annoying
-biggest asshole manager ive ever had the misfortune of meeting
-smuggs hosts this ussa comp each year that looks super legit, but we cant even enter cause you have to be part of this group or something that sosts money.
-they always try to make a super legit setup at the begining of the year to get everyone stoked, but then they disappoint us after it detiriorates from not being groomed.
-there are absolutely no diggers at smuggs, everything is made so that it gets groomed by the cat, resulting in sketchy ass setups with rounded off lips.
-there are 3 cat drivers and they take turns grooming the park (rarely) only one of them is alowd to put down the shuvle (sp?) though.
-you arent alowd to flip into the pool in the village.
-you get cut off by gapers hitting the second jump cause they have to cross the park to get to the parking lot and they never look up hill.
-foreigners man-handle our fragile t bar cause they dont give a shit if it breaks
thats all i can think about right now. i sounds like i hate smuggs but i really dont, just their park.

I like:
- snow can be really nice at times
- big open bowls
- nice techy trees in some areas
- big cliffs
dislike:
- zero park
- many many many gapers
- ski patrol, as seen on TruTV (some are chill though)
- the no jump building policy
- expensive passes
Overall I say the awesome snow and bc vastly overpower the negative aspects of not having a park. Yay.

i guess my biggest dislike of last year was when we had a day with 4 feet in 24 hours at snowbird and it was tough to get past the flat spots on the way out to the lifts without completely stopping because the snow was so deep. talk about a pain in the ass!

whitetail
Like: nothing.
Dislike: employees are dicccks. park is a joke. 50% of open terrain is ice rink ice most of the year. it is the closest to the DC area, so crowds are nightmarical. tons of gapers and hostile snowboarders who suck. park crew never does anything. maybe 3 or 4 dedicated park skiers.
Liberty
Like: the park is better than whitetail. not saying much. the crew that skis there is the only good thing. a few of them are on NS. all are super sick to ski with.
dis likes: pretty much the same as whitetail, but this is slightly more out of the way than whitetail, so the crowds don't get quite as bad, but they are still worse than most of you could imagine. again, park crew and lifties are mostly dicks and don't do anything. tons of gapers and the typical 12 year old burton billboard snowboarder who can't do anything and hate you because.. "you're a skier"
roundtop:
likes: the PARK IS ACTUALLY SIIIIICKKK not super good on the jumps, but we are in PA, so they do well enough. ton's of rails that are actually set up well, and kept up to pristine condition. there are also 10-20 times more park skiers at roundtop, then at the other mountains. steve stepp came from here. park crew is a ton of skiers, and they actually do work. overall a more ttight atmosphere.
dislikes: crowds, conditions, gapers.

Pros-
Park gets better every year
French fries are amazing
15 mins from my house
Even when its crowded you can find lifts with no lines
A development project was announced this year, with new runs and lifts replaced, but over many years.
Very short drive to McDonalds
Night skiing
You can get a cup of hot water for 25 cents and make ramen
Chill lifties
Cheap passes
Nice view of Duluth
Decent size for Midwest
No skiing in the woods rule is not enforced
Relatively long season most years
Can ski through May on a pad built up for a snowboard comp
Good skier crew, some chill boarders too
Cons-
Food is way too expensive
Not much natural snow
Lifts are super ghetto, we had two break on one of the busiest weekends and lines were a half hour to forty five mins long, but I just went and hiked rails
WAY too many douchebag racers carving the park on race weekends, which is almost every weekend
Upper Management is retarded and unwilling to support the park, its mainly local shops that contribute features
Some "security" guys are the biggest dicks in the world
Lots of Twin Cities joeys and gapers on weekends
Owned by the city, so poorly run
Park isnt done til January many years
Some boarders are still assholes to skiers, but not too many anymore
Parking is a bitch unless your there by 10

pros:
best park out of the closest 3 resorts
5 mins away
park manager is skier
everyone is cool for the most part
cons:
ron hawkes (general manager)
Matt Weeding (think thats his name)
everytime you get on a lift they check tickets even if your the only person there that day
no powder or terrain
really slow lifts
they took out the jbars that you could sit on so you had to hold on to them
little kids carving down the pipe
instructors taking kids into the pipe and park to carve down them and get in peoples way
instructors that can't even go up a jbar without falling to get to the pipe so they have to stop the jbar and it takes forever to get to the top
Ski liberty (not really home mountain)
pros:
okay park
cons:
dick with a megaphone that says it my fault that on a box my ski hits the second polycarb sheet i here a loud bang and my ski stops and may or may not pop off
3 foot long boxes
crowded

Welch Village Minnesota..
Dislikes: 360 foot vertical, really super crazy icy most of the time, almost all the snow is manmade, absolutely full of racers on the weekends, management is completely gay to us, got banned for a week last year even though we work there, there isnt really even a park until january, ski patrols are like a small army all over the hill even on weeknights, lots of rochester and twin cities school kids in the park, gay ski clubs full of 5th graders, lots of foreigners who work at mayo clinic in rochester, the park could be decent but management is like scared to death of getting sued so they don't allow anything to get big at all, the comps are under super tight supervision with inverts not even allowed, way too expensive of food, and just midwest skiing in general which means no pow and lots of ice.
Likes: Night skiing, not many people on weekdays, not many people if its anything under 10 degrees-ish, big lodge area to just chill in and hang out, lots of stoked skiers and riders work there, skiers run the park, park crew is like 10 skiers and 1 snowboarder, all features pretty much set up for skiers, the biggest center hill was changed from racer hill to main park, lifties are pretty chill most of the time, really good fries and atmosphere at the east chalet with live music and fireplace and bonfires and stuff.
