so, I search bared and I DID find a similar thread: https://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/466931/

but, I'm going to create a new one anyways. I just want to know what you think is the best part of your home mountain. I find it's way too easy to find faults, and NS loves bitching about what's wrong, so I'm not allowing you to have the option.

So yea, lets hear it, what mountain do you call your own, and what do you love most about it. NO BITCHING ABOUT WHAT SUCKS!

I myself, call Red Mountain, BC home, and what I love most is that fact that it has all aspects to ski on, so no matter which direction a storm comes from you'll always find good snow if you know where to go. Combine that with all the trees and you have some really really good inbounds pow turns for days after the storm.

 
the fact that on the rare pow day the east coast we get whaleback is untracked for sometimes up to a week after a dump.
 
good old great divide, mt. right outisde of helena, mt. its just a super laid back low key place and a really fun place to ride. family owned. just always a good time and good place to be
 
Edelweiss valley may be small and shitty for allmountain but we have a great park crew who puts together arguably the past park in the ottawa -hull valley.

There origional, maintain the features fairly well and change the features up every week or two to keep things fresh, i have been there one week where i have skied the rail garden all day then the next week i come back to find my favorite flat box has been made into a gap- cannon boz feature and all the other rails have been swithed around or taken out for new stuff.

I like it there :)
 
My home mountain, Turoa ( New Zealand ) is 4 hours away and has never heard of powder. Which is good in a way because when I go skiing in other places its so much more fun and so much more amazing so I push way harder and get way more done
 
Mountain Creek, New Jersey. Fucking the snow may suck and its all ice but the park is really good, its huge as in a whole two peaks is dedicated to park, also we have some of the best quality rails there are.
 
white pass is dope cuz its a small local resort and i know it like the back of my hand. Squaw is dope because, well its squaw and fucking huge.
 
GSSC has some sick terrain, if you were

to look. The best terrain is easily accessible with a 2 to 3 hour

skin from the base area. The older ski tourers tend to stay a way

from the steeper lines, even when the conditions are perfect.
 
Ski Sundown Connecticut. There is no better vibe in a park than there. Park crew is deticated to making the park nice and takes any input from us we give them seriously. and so many kids ski park you'll always have someone cool to ski with
 
Keystone and Breck. They are prob the two most fun parks i've ever been to, and its always cool to ski alongside the pros.
 
Hockley valley

no lift lines

very focused on park skiing/boarding

small group of park skiers/easy to make new buddys
 
Vallée-Du-Parc !

a little mountain with such a nice park and it's like 70% of all the skier ski park.. so it's really sick !

And even if i'm going alone, I always meet someone I know here !
 
fuck yeah, although the last booter is hard to get speed, but it's the best rythm section i've seen that lil mountain spit out. Goin there tomorrow to rip yo
 
Baker:

The pow is deep as shit and it is still snowing almost so much that they might have to close the mountain due to it becoming an avalanche danger in-bounds.

Only bad thing, it rains like hell and said pow gets skied out and turns to ice moguls.
 
royal mt, ny i get free food and in the rare event of a powder day there is good skiing in the woods. the park is also cool
 
The base is high enough that it almost never rains, and the park is so insanely set up that it makes all other parks seem really mellow.
 
the chondola reeks of marijuana lately. :)

I also tried peeing out of it because it was windheld and I was halfway up the mountain.
 
Snoqualmie/Alpental

I can get there in 30 minutes flat and they have night skiing every single day of the week. Good ass park, and the variety of terrain i get to ski with alpental.
 
ski santa fe. i love it because we have routes all over the mountain that one if not all will be fun any day of the week, and its nice knowing so well were to go to ski and enjoy myself.
 
sugarloaf:

only lift serviced, above treeline skiing in the east

wicked good glades

the large park is set up pretty shitty but the medium park always seems to have a good flow for me
 
powder days are amazing, the only double blacks have a good hike so they dont get tracked out too fast.
