Mount Snow:: Carinthia

We were lucky enough to have a day off to head up to Mount Snow to shred some. We were also lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny day that kept it above freezing temps. I wanted to check out the re-designed Carinthia mountain face that is entirely dedicated to freestyle terrain parks. Once the snow really starts falling they will have 125 different features scattered about 12 full terrain parks. It's every jibber and jumpers dream. But meanwhile, the place was still covered in features! It was awesome. Jumps, rails, boxes, rails and barrels. They had enough for beginners to test their courage out and for the "experts" to take off on the big kickers. Every trail we went on had some feature to play around on and since it was the middle of the week it was pretty mellow with people. That gave me room to embarass myself as I tried the bigger features!
Making Carinthia an entire freestyle park was a smart move. In my opinion, freestyle skiers and snowboarders are one of the largest groups and growing. It's exciting to have this giant park on the east coast and now along with The Stash at Killington, you won't have to go out West to find the sickest parks.
