What do you all think is the most famous/most hit urban rail in skiing?


The first one that comes to mind for me is that curved down flat down in SLC. I remember they hit it way back in like Forward or High 5, and that rail is still in videos today.

a lot of the urban rails from quebec have been hit 1million+ times and every film company ski, or snowboard comes and films there every year,  the most famous is probably le rail des plaines
