Every thing is closed dont come. jk. but some resorts might be closing around then due to the lack of snow. Squaw should be fine but i dont know about flatstar. Oh and northstars parks suck go to squaw or alpine.

We will get a dusting next week, it has been in the 70's the last few weeks. Northstar has on of the worst parks in tahoe. Heavenly had a good one but the snow is not lasting over there. Sierra has a sick park alone with boreal for jibs and a few really good jumps, alpine has the biggest and best jumps, level 1 was there filming last week so that means it has to be good.
Northstar is a turist trap, they only build a sick park for PBP. They wont let you in unless you Simon or tanner.
I know the guys that build squaws park and they built some sick stuff this year.
Kirkwood has a sick park at the end of the year usually but i havent been there foe months so i dont know whats there right now.

You need to hit some other resorts in tahoe, all year the jumps were built a bad a they possible could have been built and the rail were covered in rust, sticky and had shitty lips. Go ride SSS camp's park at heavenly ( cant get in unless you know someone thats part of the company) or Alpine, Boreal or Sierra.
Any true tahoe local will tell you the same.

Northstar is fun for 1-2 days then it gets old.
Boreal is no further away from squaw then Northstar, it might be closer, i dont know.

go to boreal or alpine!!!!! Northstar is not that good!!! boreal has an epic rail park and huge 3 jump line. Alpine has a large jump and a Xlarge jump that are shaped soooo good and you could have fun all on.

from what ive heard, boreal seems like it just has park stuff all over the mountain, no real flow. do they actuall have parks?

There is flow. Go anywhere and you can find a line, because like you just said it has park stuff all over the mountain.

I've hit boreal, I think Northstar is waaaay sicker.
as for Alpine, well, I dont know if I'll have time to hit it while I'm down here.
oh and I got some sick shots at SSS. Durtschi was doing switch cork 5s and 7s with the PK Hunder stiffy nose grabs over the 70 footer.

If anyone keeps hyping the alpine park or posting picks of the sick ass jumps Im going to slit their throats. If you really ride Alpine you'd better stick to the Ski-Code- Keep Ya Mouf Closed!
But yeah, Northstar deffinately has the best park in Tahoe, youshould go there.
