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.

The 4 O'clock rail at Breck. Easy set up, and it stays set up for long periods of the year. I know of at least 5 kids who have slid it at least 20 who have tried it, and it is in high profile movies all the time.

Last time I saw him was 2 years ago, he was coaching at Stratton. Allegedly he was coaching at Mt Snow at some point last year but who knows. Heed hates the whole "scene" but loves skiing. I wish he'd come out to Colorado for 2 weeks and shoot an edit with me.
