Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.

That's a tough call at that time of season. Kirkwood's big park is probably not up and running by then, I'm not a fan of heavenly, and Alpine has kind of a small park. I would probably go for Squaw, they usually have a pretty good setup by then. Also, check all of the websites before you hit the slopes to see who has opened their big parks for the season.

What does squaw have? I know they have some rails and the small pipe, but what in terms of tables? how big how many?

They usually have a line of 3-4 small/medium hits to the skiers right of their big pipe and a little further over from that they have (2) big hits. There is also the smaller park with (2) medium hits. There is also a really small park, but I wouldn't bother going there. I have not been to Squaw yet this season, but that is their fairly typical setup.
Take a look at their website trailmap and you cna kind of get a feel for the layout.

Northstar's park is really really nice so far. They just opened their superpipe today and they have numerous hits and tons of rails and boxes up.

i just got back from squaw and they had a lot of stuff up...I couldnt exactly tell cuz I was on the back side the whole day and there was kinda a white out. Most of the lifts weren't open cuz the wind was hella bad (knocked me over a few times on the ridge). Otherwise...the park looks OK...

^ i went there fri and they had a s rail, trap rail, some small rails like 3 30ft tables, and some other little stuff. they could have had much more because they had like 3 tables built but without jumps just landings. I went to alpine the next two days and it was way better. a few good tables, lots of rails/boxes stuff.

ya i went to squaw on sat and the park was worthless. i cant belive they accually call that 5 foot deep shithole a 'full sized halfpipe groomed nightly'. the rainbow and c boxs were pretty cool though
