Click for larger imageThe point of this thread is pretty self explanatory, to find the best MN rails. If you can post as much info as possible that would be the best. Type of rail, Location, Picture if you have it and whatever else you can think of. This is so that us skiers can hit the best rails in the state and know where to look when they want to find them

The List so far...
Normandale community college ------ Down Flat Down
Rosemount high school-------------Long down rail
Pilot knob (PK) and Cliff-------------Flat rail
Ditrict 196 office off diamond path rd---Down Rail
St. Olaf college--------------------Rails everywhere... lots
New horizon's off of 140th st---------Quad kink
PK pass cliff right on wescott---------Down Rail (near the cops)
PK --> eagan civic center right side----Down Rail
2nd st and 3rd ave. downtown--------Down Flat
Holy angels academy------------ ---Rusty rails all over
494 past Fury Motors on the right---- -7 kink and Down flat Down
PK to Yankee doodle (YD), Blue Cross---Down flat Down, Flat rails
St. Paul's Cathedral--------------- -Ridiculous rails everywhere
Thresher Park in Eagan off YD------- -Amazing Flat rail (see Pic)
I also wanted to add Eden Prarie High School with a sick down Flat down
and if you go north toward the airport and you take HWY 5 right before the airport itself there is a pretty dece down rail which looks good for Prtzls!
Also The Eagan High School rails are dope... they have some crazy rails that have been in some legit movies.

I have more to add but this is what I have for now

Hwy 55 in Plymouth, maybe a mile east on 55 of the 55/494 intersection. I think its 55 and Larch Rd, but there is a kid's school with a down rail in the front. Maybe 35 feet, and its not very tall so building a ramp is easy. Lots of inrun space, and at night nobody is in the parking lot where it runs out. I've seen lights and generators set up, some snowboarders film there occasionally. Its really exposed to hwy 55, but i've never had cop trouble

true story I used to work as a janitor at that kids school when I was in high school.  lots of hilarious stories about that place.    i can confirm that people are there all the time to session it.  Never seen anyone with generators though

I go to school at Delasalle and run XC there, I know every rail on that Island inside and out. Plymouth ave, north bank of the river, most beautiful mellow DFD ever. I'm trying to hit it this winter.

Also the quick 7 kink got removed for now, they're rebuilding the steps. The steps still have the same structure, but they might knob the rail when they rebuild it. I'll give an update when they rebuild it.
