So here is the deal NS.  I am the event coordinator for Ski Roundtop which is located in PA.  This year our mountain has been stepping it up when it comes to rail jam features.  Here is a video from our previous rail jam.  The kids just rip anymore http://blip.tv/file/559131/

Anyways, our next rail jam is January 25 and we plan on having it themed like a gaper/disco jam.  we are going to promote it like dress up free entry or something blah blah blah still in the works.  We also want to have some circus features that arent normally seen around our area like super long boxes and rediculous combo's that would be fun for one night.  Here is where you all come in.  IT would be cool if you all could suggest some features you think that might be fun.  We are trying to make our jams as fun as possibly due to previous years the fun factor not being 100 percent.  What are some reasonable features that we could build that might be doable

i can't believe I've never seen one of them, but a loop-de-loop kinda thing made of snow. Going to be ridiculously hard to make but would be an amazing feature.

a bunch of rails and boxes back to back

so like, rail, then a little bit of area to ride after that, then box, then rail, etc. and maybe finish it with a barrel jib

Flat box to down rail.

Quarter with a sub-rail on top.

Build a volcano (if you have a pipe cutter use this to make the tranny perfect by driving the cat in a circle around the feature) with some sort of barrel or tire in the middle to bonk.

An angled box where the top is leaned over, and the skiers come in from the downward side and have to have both side to side and forward balance to make it to the end.

if you have access to a bulldozer or snowcat, build a huge block of ice/snow with a hole thru the middle and have a rail goin thru the hole.

pretty far fetched put if you pull it off, you'd have people talkin...
