The freeriding terrain is really accessable from the lifts, esp jakobshorn and to a lesser extent rinerhorn, doesnt surpirse me that the park is closing, both pipes were sick but the kickers and rails were not up to scratch in dec and feb.
It seems that davos doesnt want to promote itself as a big ski 'resort', that might be why there are not enough lifts carrying enough people from the bottom, however once you are up the mountain the lifts are good, the queues small etc. Davos is a industrial town first and foremost, a ski area second. In a strange way i quite like that, you dont feel that you are being ripped off everywhere you go
quite why there seem to be few freeriders there is beyond me, the ones who are there seem to lack imagination, or just cant be assed to strap up and hike for a bit. Although the terrain is well known, it remains to be a 'secretive spot'
