i'm assuming you've talked to all the people you need to to hit it right? it's not open to the public.

This.  It's not like they just turn the thing on and let you start hucking.  For liability and all they have to have coaches there.  They will make you go through a minimal progression before you can start doing inverts/corks.

FYI, try to figure out how to self correct on the bag the first few times you straight air on.  I haven't hit it yet, but have watched a bunch.  There is a hole that forms in the snow where everyone slides off the pad.  They do their best to keep filling it in, but a there have been a few concussions from going into it head first and it looks like you could easily separate a shoulder.   Try to figure out how to spin around when you fall on the bag so you get your feet below you.

yup i have seen some good crashes coming off it. Its not incredibly soft either. You will be sore the next day but its better then wrecking on snow.
