Hey so I'm wondering what resort would be a good day to get a one-day-pass. I'm heading out there tomorrow morning and the website hasn't been that helpful to me. Any ideas on which spot would have a decent Terrain park? (I know the season isn't that great right now, so any suggestions would be great).

Thanks.

kirkwood has cheaper passes atm and a decent park I believe
Alpine has discounted passes also with a nice set up
northstar and others are charging full price

heavenly or northstar

both are super fun and in my opinion have the best parks right now, but prolly gonna be more expensive then others, heavenlys been opening more terrain lately and has more runs then northstar but north star has longer runs and you can take fuller laps on, so your choice

if you want jumps go to heavenly cause northstars are shit, but jib wise northstar has their pinball run open with tons of different jibs and is super fun

if your going for only one day id choose northstar

(sorry if i made any mistakes in this, feelin that tipsy holiday spirit)

shred hard!

As stated above, both northstar and heavenly's parks right now are super fun, but so is boreal's, just depends on if your looking to spend $50 for boreal or $100 for northstar / heavenly.

Haven't heard of Boreal. Are the jumps comparable to some of the higher end resorts? (Pre-season of course). Not looking for anything too crazy of course. I checked out the trail map, the place seems kinda small lol.

Since I'm basically going on a whim, I'd much rather spend less for a Day-Pass. I'm thinking of doing half and half jibs and jumps. So these discounted-price resorts definitely appeals to me.

Go to northstar, I ski there almost everyday. The park is legit there. Go heavenly if you want more than a dope park.

I went to kirkwood on tuesday. It was okay. Park is shit though. a flat down box, a funky shaped box, a flat box and a pipe rail. The airbag jump wasn't open when I was there but they had 0 jumps and only 4 jibs.

alpine, heavenly, and northstar are all pretty fun but the ticket prices are pretty steep and i'm pretty sure northstar has the most terrain open. Boreal is way cheaper and the park is really fun though. Mtrose and squaw suck balls right now.
