im not goin there for thier park really, im goin cuz my uncle owns a time share, but where i usualy ski the biggest jump we have is like a 10 foot table. so a stunt ditch is sweet for me. im just wondering if i should bring my park skis with or not.

natural in the sense that it was not intended to be hit as a park feature. but seriously though there are some pretty big gaps and hits to be found around the mountain aside from the cat tracks on chips.

i know breck. I was just messin with you, casue they technically aren't natural features. A natural feature is something that was either there before man came through and changed things, or something that is created by the natural falling of snow. I undesrstand completely what you mean though, and I was just messin with you.

i think a gap over a road depends on what you are jumping off of... like a naural mound might make it natural?
