To start parks aren't as busy/ packed as they once were. Back in the day pre 2012 I would see a ton of kids in parks; even though many were gapers it was still good to see kids getting hyped and enjoying the vibe. Park skiing and snowboarding is dying/ transitioning into low risk, short clip Instagram type shit.
Parks with tons of rails are the future as they are low cost, low maintenance, and low risk as far as injuries. Places like Sugarbush with small shitty jumps will be the future which is sad. Mad kids on here act like that place is heaven yet if you like jumps and go there you will see the difference between insta clips and reality. The vibe their is sick and there's mad kids which makes for great energy but the jumps and park layout is a different story.
