Rank, in order, the World's Top 5 Terrian Parks

Breck is so much better than Keystone it's not even funny. If you could lap it just as well, game over.
 
1. Breck2. Keystone3. Buttermilk

Buttermilk is where x games is held and they keep the park open to the public all the rest of the year besides the channel gap they filled that in and all the way down the mountain you can ski the small park with over 70 features then arrive at the x park and be like its game time.
 
Out of what I've skied? I havn't shredded CO at all, or Mammoth, so they're out.

1 Park City

2 Camp of Champs (Plus, it's in the summer!)

3 Blackcomb

4 Laax (old home)

5 Sunshine Village (home represent)
 
I would say it depends on what the criterias are. On Mysnowparks.com the following categories are being considered; kickers, rails & boxes, jibs, halfpipe, slopestyle & lines, shapers, chill area & lift.

Everyone can vote, but I guess so far there is a large percentage of votes from Europe, which skews the numbers a bit. Well the votes so far says

1. Snowpark NZ

2. Kläppen Snowpark

3. A51 Terrain Park (Keystone)

4. Main Park (Mammoth)

5. Val d'Isere Snowpark

See the full list here TOP PARKS.

No one updated Breck's Park Map (so you cannot rate it, yet). I guess it would be up there...
 
That list is really not right, much as I've had fun in Snowpark and Hanazono, neither of them really deserve to make the top 10. Snowpark is good considering that it's on a tiny patch of snow in NZ, but doesn't compare to anything in CO and is much smaller than some in Europe as well. I've really liked Hanazono this season as well, but it's probably not in my personal top ten, let alone world wide top ten.

I don't really think I've skied enough parks to say which is best in the world though. I would imagine it to be Whistler/Park City/Breck/Keystone/Mammoth, but out of them all I've skied is Mammoth.
 
I agree with you. The list is not complete. I guess it is still lacking too many of the major resorts from North America. But when people start updating these parks I'm sure the list will be more realistic...
 
I live in Laax. The top 5 of where I have been (after skiing most of Switzerland, France, Austria, Italy, Utah, Colorado, NZ, Argentina):

Breckenridge

Keystone

Buttermilk

Snowmass

Park City

I have never been in Whistler or Mammoth.

Those top lists from mysnowparks.com are useless as they represent peoples home mountain, they are not based on people who have actually traveled around the world / europe and have seen the difference with their own eyes.

European parks just don't compare. Laax and Schnalstal are the only ones that get very close to American standards. Parks like Val d'Isere, Avoriaz, Mayrhofen, Les 2 Alpes are a lot of fun, but they are a total mess. Shaping in most Colorado resorts is done to PERFECTION, every day of the season, and incredibly consistent. The only place that is equally consistent in Europe is Laax, but Laax is still lacking in terms of the layout/length of the lines and how the pipe is shaped (there is no direct snowmaking on the pipe).

Snowpark NZ is comparable to Laax in my opinion, super consistent but no sick lines like Breckenridge or Buttermilk.
 
1. Sunday River ME2.Sugarloaf ME3.Crabbe Mountain NB4.Wentworth NS5. Marble, Newfoundland
Those are the best 5 out of the parks I've been to.
 
not totally true, inferno has been sick this year as well as gulch, but carinthia should bei n the mix if u just look at it as ONE BIG park, casue its all Connected.

MS ftw
 
If you knew anything about geography you'd be stoked the kid even skis. He basically lives in Iowa but on an Island in the middle of the Atlantic Gulf.

He's repping what he knows...Everybody's answers here are going to be subjective.

My top 5 picks on What i've skied:

1) Blackcomb

2) Parkcity

3) Tremblant

4) Avila

5) Blue mountain

I know their are better parks out there I wish I'd skied but....
 
Has one of u ever been to Italy?

In Livigno they have about 30 rails and boxes, which is, compared

to some parks in CO not that much, but they have a huge pro area

with about 6 jumps in a row with biiiiiiiiiiig tables (to say u the meter

size: 20-25m tables)

Ive never been to america soo i can't say anything about their parks, but

Livigno is on the top 10 list of parks in Europe with Laax, Val d'Isere,

Les 2 Alpes, Mayrhofen, Are, etc.
 
1-alaska2-interior bc [monashee range]3-interior bc [the rest]4-sawtooth range5-jackson backcountry
ohhh you meant man made?.... lame
 
mt snow has the potential to be great. the trails the parks are on are unique to mt.snow and their new mentality of taking over carinthia is great but it doesnt compare...they are seriously lacking on unique features they might of bought a bunch of rails but it looks like they didnt wanna buy the long ones and ive ski'd there on n off for years- they still use the same features from 5 yrs ago that werent that cool then...mt snow might have three nice jumps on inferno but they should cut the other 3 in diablo like pc n be wiiiiide. loon looks to be the best in the east. but west is dominant over all
 
out of the parks i've been to

1. breck

2. whistler (blackcomb)

3. stevens pass, wa

4. snoqualmie pass, wa

woah, feel like i'm missing something... weird. but whatever
 
if youre in the east go to loon or mt snow. sunday river has a pretty good jib park but the jumps arent set up too well
 
i'll admit ive only skied the east but im going to colorado next yearthe best parks ive been to1:Mt. Snow2:Loon3:Okemo4:Whiteface(very underrated)and Stowe and stratton as far 5th's
 
breck has basically two lines you can ski in their parks. plus, they have very few features compared to keystone. At keystone the possibilities are endless. There's just fun shit left and right. Plus the a51 lift is tits. Oh and i think that the vibe in a51 is > than breck's park. Just my 2 cents
 
i think for the east for the ones i have skied are

1.Loon (around BMC time)

2.Mount Snow

3.Stratton

Those are the only parks that i have skied worth mentioning
