I'm driving up to hood tommorow and skiing on friday. How is the park and do you have to buy a full palmer glacier lift ticket to ski the park or do you only have to buy a ride up the first chair?

The hike is killer after a while and you'll really wish you went to Windells, but have fun, i mean at least you're skiing.

yes.

public park is fucking sick right now. the hike out isn't even that bad and it'll be lappable in less than a week.

It will still not be lappable. the reason you cant lap is because at the end of the park you have to take off all your shit and hike over to the lift. then you put your shit back on and then you go to the park again.

its way easier to hike.

Why do you need pics to convince you to ski park in the summer?

it's out of control right now... here's a quick description, and I'm sure I'm missing some shit - it's like a prime winter terrain park right now.

from the top you can take a couple different lines:
1. mini-pipe to small-lipped 25ish kicker
2. donkey-dick to down-flat to flat bar
3. poppy 25ish booter to 35 foot kicker

then the lines sort of converge into a 'rebound' feature, kind of like the "dream feature" from Windells a couple sessions ago.. there's a box & double barrel rail pointed up a mound of snow that has a wallride at the top. You can hit the wallride then come back down and can hit the box/rail as down features. There's also a pole-jam that sends you to the backside of the mound.

after that, there's a halfpipe, probably 16-18 foot walls.

Oh yeah? well i got you beat over here in New Hampshire with a falling apart / unusable summer setup with a stack of ski movies watched 100 times over and nothing to do except fantasize about skiing.

on the website it says that the lifts are open from like 7 to 1 30. just wondering if you can hike the park after and for how long?

you can hike until 3, sometimes later depending on when or if ski patrol comes through.
