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

yeah it is. well, not the part that you slide on but its a down-flat-kink(curve)-flat-down-flat-down. you use the first set of stairs as a drop in and then it flattens out and then the second set of stairs has the actual part of the rail that you slide which is just the d-f-d...
