Best Ski Resort for Snow Parks in New York: Holiday Valley - Snow Parks Rating
Holiday Valley's terrain parks receive high praise from our Snomad community. Grant, an advanced skier, calls them "very good" and mentions the fun extras like "playgrounds, side hits, and mini shacks" scattered throughout the trails. One snowboarder who grew up at the resort credits the parks as where they "learned everything" they're able to do - though they jokingly mention plenty of broken bones along the way! The parks cater to various skill levels, with features that challenge both beginners and experts alike. Even Canadian visitors cross the border specifically to enjoy these well-maintained parks, which remain a highlight of the resort's offering.
#2 Hunter Mountain - Snow Parks Rating
Hunter Mountain's terrain parks get solid marks from our community. A user who is an advanced snowboarder mentioned that "fresh powder runs are amazing" while appreciating the well-balanced features that make for good skiing trips. The parks offer good variety for different skill levels, with facilities suitable for both beginners and those seeking more technical challenges. While weekend crowds can be an issue (especially with NYC day-trippers), the parks remain popular with families and groups of friends. Some Snomad users note that the parks need a bit more attention at times, but overall they provide a fun experience for park enthusiasts.
