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.

its not in albany at all... its in troy on 8th street (i believe). Mike nick, liam downey, and others have hit it. i greased it back in 2000. If anyone is going to it this year, pm me and we'll hit it up. its at an old folks apt complex and they come out and watch (usually)

As for the Albany vs. Troy, who gives a fuck. Both cities suck and have good rails. Relax.

What mag is that from? I have a slight infatuation with that ledge, as overplayed as it is, and I'd love to get my hands on that article.

uhh have you ever been to Troy or Albany?

Side question, if you live there, have you ever left?

Albanys got some okay night life but that is literally it.

I think that it's from an issue of Snowboard Canada from last year, but I could be wrong.

How about the Green Ledge (I think thats what it's called), outside of Quebec City? Not really all that famous, but I've seen in a few different edits and photos.

Yeah that one in Boulder is pretty famous, with the big ankle breaker at the end. Its at the school New Vista. Tanner Hall also got arrested for possession on it a year or two back.

Definitely. It's older than just the 4bi9ers though. Charles Gagnier and a few others started hitting that about 5 years ago.
