I was up at Indianhead and Powderhorn last week and their parks were terrble.  Great takeoff ramps with no landing zone at all!  It just blows my mind how these hills talk liability concerns but then build completely unsafe jumps!  What a waste, go to Marquette, always a good time.

I've heard Brule has completely dropped the ball again, they just left snow piles as mounds for their park run, but yet they advertise on their website groomers trained at Cutters Camp, BS.  What's mgt thinking?  They spend the money on the snowmaking but then don't use it, uggghhhhhhh.

 Blackjack has a decent park with a rope tow so you can get a ton of hits in. There quarter pipe monday was pretty sick and they have a 40 to 50 ft jump.

Marquette is definitely the best, As far as local hills tyrol has a lagit rail set up, but thier jumps suck.

there is a camp on sat at marquette so their park is probably shut down for the day, so i was wondering if there are any other hills near marquette that have  good park

Screw the park, hit up bohemia for at least a day, conditions should be great since it's been snowing all week.

yeah i ski at indianhead.. they added some features this year but they throw them out randomly.  their jumps suck--i dislocated my knee on one..  and the pipe is too short, and to icy, and to full of gapers to get any air..

but with all the snow we get, we can at least shred midwest powpow off the headwalls.  you get more air launching there than in the park.

my vote is go to bohemia--nothing beats it around here.  or if you just want park, then try marquette, or if you are south of Rhinelander, than granite peak has really stepped up their park this year too.

i was there on monday tooo... im sorry but the jump was shitty and the only good thing was the quarter pipe... if you go to black jack you have to ski the woods runs. and the deep pow if its snowing... and of course you have to hit the cliff drop

Hi guys

Many of the parks you are mentioning are still missing on Mysnowparks.com. It would be really nice if you would add the resorts (if not already there) and their parks to the site, so everyone can access the latest information about the setup of the parks.

I'm going up this weekend too, theres snow in da trees.
At MM i don't think they shut down the parks for the camps. there was one last year when i went and it looked pretty unformal and park was open. Norway isn't special, the big jump is usually only like 25-30, but it's a decent place to screw around for an afternoon.
