I've been snowboarding for 2 years now. and every year we'd go up to canaan/timberline,WV for 3 days in a cabin and that was fine. Now I'm getting into freestyle more than freeride and canaans park sucks. So what resorts have good terrain parks that i wont get bored of easily? I live right outside washington DC and am lookin for a no more than 5 hour drive

thanks a lot

I'm gunna say you best bet is probably gunna be 7 springs for the amount of time you want travel. Over the past couple of years they have been making it better and better. But if you are looking for something a little closer that you can get to more frequently try Liberty or Whitetail. Personally I am partial to Liberty Cause its like 25 min from home so i'll go like 3 or 4 times a week. But i will say this Whitetails park has a better flow.

personally the best terrain park, is nature itself

nothng better than hoiking yerself off natural hits, to test your skills and emphasise truly original self expression.

parks just have too many damn fences! but each to their own (but i can;tbe tamed roar! )

I love Labrador mountains terrain park. It is in Truxton NY. The trail used to be called Razorback" and they converted the whole thing into the terrain park. It has everything, huge air jumps, rails, boxes, pipes, all sorts of different terrains. The local kids sometimes cut it down, spoiled brats in fact. If they were to go to other mountains in our area they would really see dissapointment in a terrain park.

I think its a little too far to drive just for a terrain park. But I ride alot around here and for this area central new york, they got the park.

Hop a plane fly into DIA, take a shuttle to Breckenridge, Keystone, or Copper. Should be less than 5 hrs travel time for that...

I agree that natural hits tend to be a little more fun. But I enjoy the park as well. adn you also have to look at where people are like reall around me there isn't anything you can hike to. so if you want the big hits you gottta stay in the park.

^^^Yeah, the east coast seen just doesn't offer up the natural terrain like in the west.

Well not unless you wanna go way north. But even then its not the same. But oh well ya know not all of us can live on the western side of the country. Plus it gives me somethign to look forward to

i've seen some nice vid come out of snowshoe so it looks like they have something decent going down there. never been there so take it for what its worth...

liberty (in PA) usually has a nice park...something for everyone at every ability level. the only problem is that it gets very crowded. whitetail's park isnt usually as nice as liberties but its bigger and more spread out so its not as crowded.

The nice thing about Libertys' park is you don't have to go back down the mountain to get back to the top of it ; well at least in westside. At Whitetail you have to ride all the way down to the bottom of the mountain and then go back up. But the thing about how Whitetail is setup up is since all the features are so spread out once you come off of one you have plenty of time to setup for the next. At liberty it sometimes seem like as soon as you come off one transition your on top of the next jump or box or whatever.
