Definately my snow. It has good tree skiing, pow trails, super long runs for the family and carinthia is a full side of just park with two 60 ft jumps and a bunch of smaller ones

In my opinion, you can ski park all day long back home in Mass. I would choose the mountain based on actual terrain.

That said, I'd have a pretty hard time not recommending Jay.

Go for the skiing, you can do park everyday at your home mountain. I would say killington or jay peak.

vermont- jay or killy

NH- id say Loon

and MAINE- Sugarloaf has a good park, and they just opened up the basin, thats like 100+ acres of glades. or Saddleback which has awesome tree skiing and not usually very crowded and the park is better than its ever been (but its still not much of a park)

if ur just a parkrat id say mt snow... great park but their other terrain isnt very good in my opinion

killington is freakin huge with a great park and great terrain

i just went up to sugarbush and mad river glen last weekend for the first time which is a great combo... sugarbush is also really big with with a good park and good terrain and mad river glen doesnt have a park but AMAZING terrain

stowe is great but very expensive

okemo and stratton are good too but both very flat and if you just wanna ski park you might as well just go to mt. snow

id recomend either killington or the sugarbush/mad river glen combo (theyre right next to each other) but thats just me

Sugarbush has amazing terrain if you know where to go but its probably not good if you dont know where you are, Im pretty sure they have a sweet park but I would go to Jay or MRG if you want sweet terrain. Smuggs has a good looking park this year and very good accessable terrain.

Vermont: Stowe is sick-good terrain, good park, good snow, but expensive. Jay Peak is absolutely the best for terrain and snow but kind of in the middle of nowhere, although they have a waterpark now? if you're going with your fam. Killington is huge, Mt. Snow has a sick park.

New Hampshire: Vermont is better but loon has a good park, Cannon is sick, definitely the best terrain in NH.

Maine: Sunday River is my home mtn, huge, good parks, good skiing if you go the right spot, Sugarloaf is also huge, and has great terrain and good park. I don't know much about saddleback but it sounds sick.

If it was my choice I'd go to Jay Peak, Cannon, or Sugarloaf, but if you are concerned about park then Mount Snow, Loon, Sunday River/Loaf
