They used to have a pretty sick park. I went over there for the video park in 09/10. We just rode for the weekend.

That said I've heard things have declined a bit. I know they had a bunch of features, so hopefully they still set some good stuff up. Seemed like things weren't getting maintained for a bit. I've never been to pat's peak so I'm not sure how it compares.

Do they still do that shit where the mountain is open till 4am on saturdays? That shit was awesome but I can't imagine trying to maintain a park when you're only closed for a few hours. Seems like a nightmare.

It might be good this year, they apparently have something new for the groomers to make steep and nice landings, and my friend who’s pretty nasty will be in charge of what’s going in I think. The park manager is an x games medalist for skating so it’ll be better than recent years I hope. I’ve skied there for the last 10 years and it definitely was good until 2013/14

Yes a winch, was told about it earlier today. I’m hopeful, I’m thinking they’re fed up with everyone shitting on them. But what people don’t understand about some of it is they aren’t allowed to do some stuff I guess, but still suck ass with maintenance and re builds

Yup I’ve done the same, some days nobody is there even on weekends, they rarely maintain the park but at least during the week they don’t really need to.

Theyre blowing snow for a rail jam this coming Friday night as well, hope weather works out.

Idk if you still need this info, but as a local I can confirm the parks are sucky. Not horrible, but they don't have many features variety. And if you are looking for jumps its a no go.

Jump at bottom was mint for like 2 days, seemed like they tried this year but weather is shit. The GM is a race dad and doesn't like the park management so it's not necessarily the park crews fault, except when they put stupid ass features in. Many of the bigger and better rails are ancient too so idk if that plays a part.

Probably the best chairlift in the world and definitely in the East in terms of it being super long but also super fast most 'high speed' quads or 6 packs run at 60% and are barely faster than a fixie. Hop on the lift at Wildcat after skiing anywhere else and you notice the difference. They also pride themselves on not slowing it down for wind holds. You will hear employees say shit you won't hear anywhere else like 'Usually the wind isn't side to side and is up/down the mountain so we can run full speed up to 50mph gusts.' Great terrain and awesome runs. No real park though.

They're across from Mt. Washington so I imagine their mountain ops crew can handle some shitty weather.
