gnarballsianmStevens pass: the snowboarders park

crystal mountain: sad attempt at pleasing the younger crowd, thus pushing park skiers to stevens pass... The over population is real

sunvalley / dollar: small line straight to pro/ XL setups


Spot on with Crystals park... But if you ride park at crystal you're doing something wrong.

I'm afraid you're right about the "still not as good as most parks in NA"... but it's really the sickest park around, any park else just feels small compared to it

Titus69Crotched Mountain: Snowboarder park crew with shitty setups and flat landings.


They used to have baller setups. Went over there in 2009 I think for the video park. Had a perfect 45' table, barrel option, 5 or 6 foot high flat butter pad with 20' or so flat box into a hill into a wallride. HAd real nice flow. Had a crazy bowl at the bottom but speed was a little tough. Up gap over sofa down box and other goods.

I think that was the only time I went. Went for the video park and then rode hungover the next day.

Well over the past years its gotten worse. I do remember about 3-4 years ago and before that it was a sick park for that time in skiing but now they just setup basic shit but jumps have gotten better. Im 90% positive a guy from carinthia is coming in january since our best park builder went to waterville.
