My mountain has no park and tons of legit backcountry. And I would give up a lot of it for a nice park.

definitely take the backcountry. even though there are no rails... but i suck at rails anyways. ha. and if you have enough time, you could make a kicker that lands into 3 feet of powder instead of groomed ice!

nope... actually. pow is tiring. I don't think I could ski it day in and day out. plus, while I hate the crowds of the resort, sometimes it's nice to be with some other people. I like the park atmosphere, and while I would like to ski more backcountry, I don't think I'd be willing to give up park all together, to get a bit more deep. I'd rather have both, in moderation, as opposed one all the time.

I don't know the park is something i live and breath especially living on the east coast and although there is nothing like getting a nice face shot i just don't think i could give up something that i live by and will do as long as i am physically able but there is a possibility if i could build kickers then i would do it in a second.

nice bump Jmez

No trick or sw up in the park compares to FLOATING through powder and hucking  natural hits.  Although my choice is fairly biased since i can't throw crazy tricks

however, the thought of being intombed in a snowy grave underneath 10 ft of snow is not so pleasant

I actively prefer park to pow, maybe I'm weird, but pow doesnt really do anything for me. In a fortnight of solid skiing, I'd probably spend 3 afternoons cutting lines in pow, the rest in the park or fucking around on groomers.
