Saddest mountain

grayrocks is by far the saddest mountain ive ever been too. i went on a ski trip for my dads work and apparently they used to be the resort to go to back in the day before tremblants village developped. their lodge is fucking fancy and they even have a private runway and everything. but now no one goes. and they also had the worst park ive ever seen. it was closed because they hadnt even started building it. it just had a bunch of snow whales lieing around. then they got super lazy and just opened up a bunch of icy snow whales up to the public instead of making jumps and stuff. and the only rails i saw were these mangled homemade pvc rails leaning on a shed.

i see all legit contenders. but isnt the point of skiing of going out and just having fun. sure some of us here are to skilled to really enjoy any of these places, but to the people that go to these places, they are just people looking to go out and have a good basic time. sure some of these places have only 10 trails and a few hundred feet vertical, a low feature terrain park, and a shallow decline, which are all sad, and i feel horrible that some of these places exist for those whoa re too skilled to fully enjoy their features. But, if people are having fun, they probably think its the best place in the world to ski.

Not trying to put people in their place, just wanted to get my two cents in.

i love to ski and get out and have just a fun time but look at our home mountain, take note that its rope tows, no chairs
 


Damn, the worst resort I've been to is snow valley too, but your snow valley trumps mine any day. Its hard to believe resorts like that actually exist.
I think technically Baldy is smaller than this place, but Baldy is still really fun, and every time I've been to snow valley it has been bullshit.

ehh sapphire vallery, straight from the site

Our ski hill consists of two runs, one each for intermediate and

beginner skiers, featuring runs up to 1600

feet in length and a vertical drop of 200 feet.

Beginners receive the personal attention necessary to master

the basics of downhill skiing or

snowboarding, and seasoned veterans can hone their skills.

it says there's nine trails, but the only ones that were actually open the whole year were alley cat, tiger pass, and racing hill.

best mountain ever
 
I started bawling about 1 min into the vid, then i had to shut it off. Those kids need a real skiing experience, not groomed slush bull-shit wackness.
 
haha i kinda noticed the similarity with valley but not how they are all shitty till you pointed it out. Cant wait to move to CO after high school
 
Yep easily the worst hill in Ottawa, Pakenham has stepped it this year compared to the last time I went which was over two years ago.
 
haha i learned to ski at mt peter right down the road, i think tuxedo ridge is better if the trails are all open. It also was sterling forest when i went to mt peter.. The best part about mt peter is that the road you drive on to go there goes over the top. Like the road goes right past the top of the lift haha.. you can see it in teh upper right corner. Although i must say, i had fun skiing there when i was 5

Lol at whoever said Bolton. Bolton is a ton of fun, I have no idea why everyone says it sucks. It's got good trees, a decent park, no lift lines, cheap tickets, basically no one on the mountain, good views.

I can honestly say that I dislike Stowe the most of any mountain I ski at. Terrible trail placement, they all dump out onto the flats where there are tons of people, terrible lighting until February, snotty rich people. Their park is tons of fun and there are always some good woods to hit, but the overall "architectural design" of the mountain/ trails is just terrible. I can say my home mountain of Mount Southington is pretty bad, but I have fun most of the time I am there. I am still going to buy a Stowe pass because I would rather ski a mountain I am not crazy about with a bunch of friends than ski Jay with basically no one. I'm not saying Stowe is that bad, I just do not like it.
