unless you're learning inverts, i say use the park jumps, they are so much better than anything you'll build.

well, there's spots up on loveland pass and on vail pass. or you could just go diving or use a tramp till you get them consistently, then use park jumps, thats usually what my friends and i do.

There's two on the south side of Peak 10.  Here's a picture of my buddy throwing a backflip off one:

There is also a rather large one on the north side of Peak 10 in an area call Ballroom.  It isn't easy to get to unless you duck the ropes at the very top of Falcon.  If you do it legally through the gate over in Mustang's, it's about an hour skin or a 90+ minute hike.  The booter itself is easily a good 8+ feet wide and about 4-5' elevated.
