does anyone else think it would be a good idea to set up some rails and stuff on pikes peak? im planning on taking 1 or 2 rails up to devels playground or somewhere up there that has snow... it would be cool if a bunch of people all brought like 1 rail/box up there and left it the all summer so everyone on the front range could have a nice little jibyard...

I hiked up there last week and I don't remember seeing many places with a shallow enough grade and snow.  I will be around the peak for the hill climb this weekend though, so I will look again.

I live in woodland park too hence the name WPsteez .. the only problem i see with that is actually getting the rail up there because the easiest way to devils playground is through the craigs on the backside of the peak... and i definitely dont want to hike up that with a rail on my back

i dunno about pikes. I skied the side you drive about 2/3s the way up at about 12,000 ft and thats the only spot i could think of doing it, however, I skied it June 11th....so dunno if its possible. Just goto 4th of July Bowl or St Mary's Glacier.
