you cant miss alta's super park, 300 ft pipe, a 5 jump line with  a 120 ft step up if you look hard enough

you fool there is no park. if you want to go to the closest park, then you have to go to Big Emma in snowbird.  Anyways, you shouldn't be doing park when you are out west, you should be finding powder in hidden spots. fool.

i think they officially announced this year that they would no longer have parks simply because there is no reason. the terrain is too sweet to bother having a terrain park. but you should go there because they already have like 450 inches of snow on the year.

If Alta had a park this year they'd be spending the whole season looking for it and digging it up, repeat.

Alaska has such a sick park right now, specifically Haines, there's like this 500 ft step down, but you have to be on osama pro's to hit it. But if you want to find the park at Alta just ask the locals, they'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

Some people in here are talking out of there asses.

If it hasn't snowed in Alta in the past 120 minutes, you are skiing moguls. Yeah there's a shitload of snow, and the place is one big playground when it's snowing, and I've had some of the best days of my season there so far.... but there's also a shitload of people in this tiny resort turning fresh snow into moguls fast. So on the Xth consecutive sunny day, it might be interesting to look into park...

You can traverse from the Wildcat lift through the keyhole into Snowbird all the way to their park... They're not building proper kickers this year, so you get a shitty pipe, and some mediocre rails/boxes..

I'd either catch a ride to Brighton or Park City. Park City is epic. You could also hike into Brighton, kind of a mission, but it's possible.




Oh, and in Alta...
- skis with waist < 100 mm
- poles
- non-rockered skis
are frowned upon....

Everything that gets bumped out is off the Hight T. there is a lot more skiing to be had you just gotta know where to go
"non-rockered skis
are frowned upon"
where does this statement come from. if im not mistaken they are commonly called cheater sticks at Alta.
Theres plenty of people at alta who rip with older skinner skis.

you can still find fresh pow in certain areas a few days after a storm although the majority of the skiing is  bumps and crud, but still fun as hell.
