I was just wondering what in general the most important factors are that make up a good terrain park. So I decided to write a blog post about it. I guess it's not complete - so what is your opinion?

Here is my top 10 factors as posted in the blog post: http://www.mysnowparks.com/blog/10-most-important-factors-good-snowpark-or-terrain-park

Thats a pretty good list man. I like the "Unique Jibs" one, I hate it when all terrain parks are exactly the same, with no cool features to call their own. Good post.

I would add PARK PASS. I would be down to have a $50 park pass for all the gapers it would keep out. At least for the biggest park. And maybe a like $5 day pass to the park for visitors.

No Park Pass.
Definitely not one that costs money!!!

anyway
Sick rails
creative jibs and features
side hits
normal sized jumps
at least 1 natural feature line
some features (mostly rails) that scare everyone
a huge hip!!!
a stair set
and maybe a quarter pipe.

flow. i love parks where it feels like a slopestyle run and you can hit a shitload of features one after another.

varied rails. nothing worse than parks where its just 30 flat boxes/rails. or just a shitload of urban styles. throw in some flat downs, kinks, c's, s's, dragons, all that good shit.

size variety. nothing is better than a park that you can start small and work your way up. but too many parks just go straight from like 10 foot flat box, to 800000 foot quad kink death rails. more medium sized features are great.

and finally TAPS. nothing more fun than barrels and other fun bonks and shit like that.

a gaper forcefield that prevents gapers from entering the park

Location. has to be on a slope that keeps gapers away and that doesn't get that bitter icy wind that blows through the parks all the time.

Also if there are lights in the park, make sure there are enough of them, i hate not being able to spot my landing because of shadows

good list though
