Best East Coast Park

This could be a repost and if anyone has a link to this already please let me know.

So my GF is talking about moving to the east coast and seeing as how I love her and all; that means I would be moving to the east as well. I was wondering which resorts have the best terrain parks rails especially. I have only ever lived in Colorado so anything that's a similar style to Keystone and Breck would be ideal! Also any idea when the results from the Park Poll are going to come out??

Kinda depends on where on the east coast you are moving. Seven Springs and Big Boulder in PA are always up at the top. Also Okemo and Mt. Snow in Vermont are known to have some great features. Anywhere owned by Peak resorts are known to do really well with the park set ups

Probably your best bet is Mount Snow or Sunday River if you're looking New England area

On a good year, Springs has better parks than PC to be honest. The rest of the mountain is gaper-soaked, flat, trash. Season passes there are also pretty expensive. Pittsburgh is about an hour and a half away or less depending on how fast you drive/traffic. Springs is really a one of a kind resort. It's big enough so that it has bars, condos, a hotel, a lodge with shops, etc. But it's real tight-knit so everyone there knows each other.


Big Boulder is pretty much one huge park. Super fun and considerably cheaper than Springs. But there's not much to do around the area. Its like in the middle of nowhere.

Much cheaper than the west haha. About $80 per day. Idk per year because I usually don't ski one mountain. But Sunday River in Maine, Mount Snow in Vermont and Loon or Waterville in New Hampshire

Mount Snow in VT is by far my favorite. There are endless features throughout a bunch of trails, you pretty much can't get sick of any of them

Mount Snow is as good as it gets for east coast parks. About ten park trails in Carinthia, each a little different and sick. Also the mountain itself is super fun.

Waterville is hosting a rev tour slopestyle now and are building a much better park in past years.
Loon and Cannon are also close.

Get it while you can, if they can hold it together. So many money issues with them.
