I don't know why everyone hates corrugated tubes, my park put those in near the end of the season and I thought they were so fun that I pretty much stopped hitting everything else for  a couple days.  Makes such an awesome noise.  I will lose a ski like 1 out of 10 times though, and it sucks because I always land it anyway just sans ski.

Stairset handrails... its a love/hate thing, I love it when it works out, I hate it when I land on my back down the stairs. My mtn didnt even set it up though this year. Also the huge moguls that build up on upper international at alpental on a icy day... those suck, but you know that just a little bit further and you are into the back country to go enjoy the powder reserves :D

I hate any rail thats sticky in one certain spot. Because you don't see it coming until you hit it and by then its too late.

either rails that are half falling over that are 30+ feet long because it doesn't matter how much you tail press it or nose press it you won't make it across. ORRRRRR improperly made quarter pipes that don't have enough vert at the top...

Those tiny useless blue barrels, wtf can you do with them?

Plastic corregated rails, they usually break.

Uselessly short boxes.

Small rainbow rails that you can't lock onto long enough to do anything.

Big step down jumps with tiny flat landings.

Kids in the landing... I mean, I'll jib them anyways, but you just can't really do much on them.

i know what you are saying about the big lips onto small features, i hate when the lip pops you up way too high for the small rail

i also don't like up rails when they are set up for snowboarders to 50-50

Pats Peak had a cannon rail that had a segregated set-up, completely geared towards boarders.  I had a very small ride on lip, practically flat to the up rail, and and no time to get around even a 90.  I tried it once and nearly nutted myself, and throught out the season, never saw a boarder do anything but 50-50's.

Maybe setting up a park is harder than it seems, but it shouldn't be amateur hour all winter!  I believe all builders should have at least some training and be a MIX of boarders/skiers, because you can only know if something feels right if you hit it yourself.  /rant

Really short boxes, they're good for noobs to learn on but otherwise they're useless.

I don't know why everyone is hating on corrugated stuff. Shits scary as balls and I always catch edges on it but its pretty fucking fun when u grease a corrugated pipe. For me, I hate anything hidden in pow. And creekbeds/ditches. One of those broke my heel early season. As far as park features go, I really don't hate that much. Big stepdowns scare the fuck out of me though.

Cannon (Pole Jam)
[IMG]patspeak.com/images/park/cannon.jpg[/IMG] i didn't name that... but anyway this is the ultimate snowboarder only feature.  the only skier i ever saw try to hit it clipped his down hill ski and nutted himself very harshly.
and the relatively un-heard of "C" bow box
