Ski Progression Near Boston

[LongNoseLuke]

I’m a very experienced big mountain skier from Montana and I recently started going to school in Boston. Because there is next to nothing in terms of big mountain on the east coast I have wanted to progress my park skiing which right now is limited to throwing the occasional 360 or attempting a backflip. I have always struggled with air awareness when flipping or spinning and I have associated that with the fact that I haven’t learned any tricks on tramps before. Are there any tramp gyms or dedicated snow progression gyms near Boston where I could work on my park progression? Also anyone have tips for getting into park from being an all mountain skier - I can drop big cliffs and catch big air but whenever I throw in a trick it goes poorly.

Depending on the area of Boston you're in, there's a ton of Skyzone's in surrounding areas which if you have a buddy or two to take honestly have a lot of space to try new things.

idk if Launch is still open but when I used to go it was pretty similar to sky zone honestly.

Can confirm Launch is still open, one of my third graders wrote their personal narrative essay about going there over Christmas vacation.
