Snowbasin's park was terrible last year, and they have managed to be even worse thus far this year. i just watched the spring skiing in December edit and there is a better park in New Jersey than in Utah. Why does this happen? If it doesn't improve this year, I will not go back again. Anyone else feel the same?
 
Easy solution, stop riding park and learn how to actually ski. Who the fuck actually goes to Snowbasin to ride park anyways?
 
Yes and no. Of course, if you live somewhere like Jackson Hole or Utah and only ski park, then yea you're stupid and maybe suck.

But there's plenty of people who downtalk park and act like big mountain is the only thing worth doing. I think those people suck too and are just hiding behind their lack of park skills and attempting to cloak it with an indifference to park

Ski powder in the morning, cap the day off in the park. Win win.
 
I was at snowbasin today, and it does really suck, although last year that parks actually got pretty good. The park crew is 90% boarders and all the features suck so far this season.
 
Cry about it folks. Rather than blowin your load on ns, contact the resort managers and express your opinions about the setup because they are the ones that can actually do something. Basin has soooo much to offer, go explore. If it was so bad last year, why did you invest in a season pass this year when you already had evidence that the parks aren't good?

In my honest opinion, the whole entire mountain is a highly entertaining park. Paint De Moisy with your lines my dudes!

 
But honestly, why would you have such a god awful park and not do something about it? I ski pow and moguls every time that they are available, but park is pretty much the only option with no new snow for weeks
 
I was misinformed about the company mission for parks this year, which is why I bought one there instead of pc. But I mix in powder with my skiing enough that I wanted to steer clear of Park City
 
Some resorts have a different visions on what they want their mountain to look like.

For example, Sun Valley, who owns Snowbasin, mainly ALL their park features (including but not limited to huge ass jumps, a world class super pipe, as well as a progressive park and skier/boarder cross course) is located on Dollar Mountain, which is separate from the "main" mountain. Baldy (the main mountain) is an excellent mountain offering wide open bowls, excellent glade skiing off the backside, and not limited to arguable they highest quality corduroy offered in the west. Prior to the moving of many park features to Dollar, the pipe and smaller park features were located on Baldy.

For me, this proves to the fact that some resort companies have a different vision on what they want THEIR mountain to look like.
 
it is quite the dilemma, the perfect mountain is hard to come by. Breck, Park City, Keystone all have great parks, but not great all mountain skiing. Alta, Snowbird, Snowbasin, great mountain, nothing for park.Best common ground I can think of is Jackson Hole. but I haven't been there for a few years, but I absolutely loved their park when I would go there in march
 
I would be satisfied with having awful parks in exchange for a great all mountain experience, but they are a month in and jp isn't even open
 
I've had some of my best days skiing pow at PC, and I'm well aware of what a pow day is like in the cottonwoods. they have some pretty good shit if you're down to look.
 
Basin is my home mountain!

They claim to have 50+ rails but they hardly ever half of them set up I usually just ski powder
 
I ride at Basin and IMO the park is pretty fun. I see tons of kids riding through the park skipping every rail because it is "gay". Just have fun with what you have. Basin has been better than in years past.
 
This is my first season having a pass there and I couldn't be more happy. I agree with you my doood.
 
Amen! I'm shreddin there 3-4 times a week commuting from Logan. Look for me. Red saga jacket, grey pants. Holler sometime.
