park table
easier to land tricks
you get way more hits on them so you can do better tricks usually
you dont ever have to worry about shit in landings
you dont have to build thme yourself
if you die the ski patrol is there
BC Booter
Landing is softer
its just you and your friends usually
way cooler to film on
just way more radical

Park pros:
already built for you
you can lap the park thanks to the chairlift
park jumps usually have flow
multiple features
cons:
public parks get rutted out due to gapers
landings get icy
crowds
BC pros:
pow landing=hard to get hurt
privacy
more fun since you're with the boys
cons:
hiking
if you build it wrong you're stuck with it (unless you wanna build again)
time consuming
prolly will get really wet/cold by the end of the day

well the only real plus i can see for park jumps is easy access, easier switch landings, and ussually smoother takoffs. I would rather hit a backountry jump any day.

Park most use, easy accses, pre built, overcrowded, possible gapers, ski patrol . BC, hard to get to, have to make features, powder, no crowdes, no ski patrol.
BC is way more fun if you have a group of friends and a lota shovels and time.

BC booter +'s, im not a big pussy because even if its spring the snow is semi soft so im not scared to go big
Park jump +'s always really well maintained, easy to lap the park you dont always have to hike,
BC booter cons, takes a couple hours to really build a quality hit, always have to hike it, unless you feel like wasting alot of gas, sometimes your creations dont turn out so sick
Park jump cons, icey landings hurt alot when you fall, you have to watch out for gapers, and yeah

i will say i would rather hit a bc jump, although one more bad thing about bc jumps is, yes it is a soft landing but after awhile it gets bombed out and at that piont i think the landings hurt even if landed right. that is not good.

madsteezin and royale, if you're so in the mood to build booters, build up the Leo's Gap booter on K2 Face. It's too small to hit right now.

it's a little hard to find. But if you hit it, you're legit. It was about 100ft last year.
