Hey NS, so I am in town visiting my grandparents for a week in Grass Valley and they are driving me wherever i want to go ski. I came here 2 years ago and skied Boreal for a day and since then i have want to come back for their park.. I have 2 free lift tickets to Sugar Bowl so i am trying out that resort today. A little about me:
-Im from St. Louis Missouri.. we only have one "hill" 30 minutes from my house with like 300ft of vertical so I only ride park at home. -When im in the real mountains i like to take advantage of the steep runs and the trees if theres any fresh snow.-If its a bluebird day i will most likely be in the park if the setup is fun. -Been skiing park for 6 years and i would consider myself pretty good on rails but not the best on jumps since the jumps at my local resort never get over 35 feet.
Im mainly looking for advice on where to go for the best park setup in or around tahoe as well as some people to ride with while im at any of these places... some of the resorts i planned on riding are...
1 hr away: (Sugar bowl, Alpine Meadows, & Boreal) More than an hour away: (Northstar, Heavenly (i have a summit pass so i can get half price lift tickets), & Sierra)
+K for any helpful comments, hopefully ill meet some fellow NSers while im here.
Peace- Josh
 
For parks, def hit up northstar or heavenly. Not sure how sierra's is. Wasn't too stoked on boreals setup, kinda short and weird, but I guess i've only gone at night so everything was really icy.
If you come out to northstar hit me up, i ride out there alot.
 
thanks guys, sugar bowl definitely seems like a fun place to go for a powder day. Their park was pretty mellow besides the medium jumps they have set up... but they pop you kinda funny so i didnt hit them too much. Almost everything was a ride on which is good for learning.. but i was hoping for at least a couple down rails or kinks.. Ill probably hit up boreal tomorrow and if its nice ill ride there at least 2 more times. I might head up to northstar at some point. I might wait til monday since theres that competition going on there this weekend..
