Saurus Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 Did anyone go to stowe last season? How was the park? What features did they have? A bunch of kickers and rails and all that? Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 Stowe didnt have many things to skeet over. But heres what they had. 1. Flat down box 2. 40ft table 3. 50ft table 4. Hip 5. Flat box 6. Rainbow box 7. C rail and thats all i remeber. There was more but we had 20 inches of powder, so park was last thing we wanted to hit. Quote
Granola Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 dont waste your time in the park hike to the top of mt mansfield get some pow ski the trees Quote
Dan- Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 i was there the same weekend as Sno mountain skier. Huge dump, so no park runs for me. Hiked to the top of the chin, rode chest deep pow pow. Sunday rode the tree's off of hayride for more pow. Good times. Â And doug hayride was super sketchy when i was there. With all the wind, it just blew all the snow right off the trail, making it bulletproof ice, and i had not sharpened my edges in some time... Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 And if you want to skeet your pants, go over to Spruce, go on West Run, and directly take a right into the woods, right at the top. You will be skiing into the notch so be careful. But its tottally worth it, 15ft cliffs, extremely steep sections. Once you get to the bottom of the run hike left, and you will come out by the gondola. Crazy time last year. Just be careful if you do this, because its way off the map if you do it right. And be careful for frozen lakes and rivers, that was the scariest thing about hiking out last year. Walking over the lakes and rivers. Quote
Saurus Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Posted September 21, 2006 well my school ski clubs going there and its only 400 bucks for 3 full days of skiing and 1 half day and lodging and food. But by march stowes park will have everything out so im guessing its going to be sick. Quote

But by march stowes park will have everything out so im guessing its going to be sick. I went the first week in March, and to me there park was just whatever. It wasnt great, nor did it suck. But with the great terrain Stowe has, i cant see there park being the dission factor on wether or not going. But you school gives you guys a great deal. I would definetly skeet my pants for that deal. For my school you get 3 nights, 2 days on the slopes for $300. Quote
ridesnwboards Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 I went the first week in March, and to me there park was just whatever. It wasnt great, nor did it suck. Â I went around the last week of March and i completely agree. The park had some nice features like those first two booters in the big park and the hips, but everything else was so-so. Quote
LTDSNOWBOARDER Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 Me and Icon are gonna have so much fun on this trip. But not nearly as fun as anouther trip that could possibly happen. Quote
Dan- Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 I may be going back to stowe, first weekend of march. If not stowe, then Jay Peak. Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Even though I had a blast at Stowe, im trying to convince my parents into taking a sunday-wensday trip up to Smuggs. I went to smuggs 4 seasons ago, and it was right after a week of 50 and 60 degree temps. I wanna go back when the black hole, freefall, and liftline are all open. And then Smuggs had a great park last year, and they have the T Bar which would make park runs quick and easy. Quote
Dan- Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 I hear smugg's lifts are ungodly slow. Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 I hear smugg's lifts are ungodly slow. I have been there and while they are slow, I ski at Montage so im quite used to being on slow lifts. Quote
Tyler Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 my friend who was there this season said their parks arent very good, but he said they have awesome freeriding... Quote
