unpopular opinion Pine Knob in Michigan looks more fun than everything else. Only if they got the cold temps and snow that Minnesota-wisco did…

Pine Knob is fun. I skied their park over a decade ago. Crazy to watch LTC blow it up nowadays

Maybe in like 2012 when they went all in on parks for a bit, plenty of other great parks these days.

My vote is Nubs Nob and nobody is changing my mind on that. Also I really like Caberfae but if park is all you do don't bother.

Cannonsburg is a great park...but the trash pile is a literal trash pile compared to Pine Knob and what Matt has been doing.





With this years upgrades I think PK will be giving troll a run for it's money

Certainly not anywhere in shit-fuck Ohio. I think Ohio is the new Seattle. All it does is rain here anymore. We’ll be lucky to be skiing by New Years.

Yeah, it can be a little ritzy up there, doesn't change having a ton of trees, sustained steep fall lines, killer park, no lift lines regardless of how busy it is, good views of the bay, and a long season.

I mean perfect North Slopes created jackson karsteter and Nick goepper. And they turned down an offer from vail so I love them. They work with 400’ really well great owners that love park skiers. May not have as good of skiing as it’s sister resort timberline but it’s where I’ve gone for the past 13 years and will continue to go as long as I can.

no service up there (not rly a con)

Hard to get to if you are new( also not rly that big of a con, its just rly fuckin out there)

old ass rickety lifts (whatever)

Ownership loves drama, there are a couple threads about Lonnie on here

the worst is that if you dont have a season pass you cant buy a lift ticket on Saturdays, im pretty sure you can buy ahead in advance tho

id say its kinda worth it cuz its insane up there, especially this year cuz they actually are getting legit amounts of snow

I almost went to Purdue bro. Perfect north, Brighton MI, or Bittersweet MI are the best. Glad I chose GCU and Snowbowl is 2hrs away now

Should have said might* Their groomer posted a story of him pushing a pipe in a cat then another with a pipe cutter, then took both down so Tyrol might have a pipe?
