For me it's rails cuz I live on the east coast and don't get too many days of skiing so I do a lot of practicing on my backyard rail setup...

jumps by far. there's something about jumping onto a metal bar on skis that just doesn't come naturally to me

I'm really not that good at either. I enjoy the sweet fluff of powder.

I mainly spent all of my park time in Japan and rails are quite rare in the parks so I got quite good on jumps. On rails I can only do 2 out both ways and fs 4 out and fs switchups.

i suck at both! theyre both fun though, big jump vs. tough rail definitely, big jump is more satisfying.

Jumps by a mile. Never really like rails, so I never learned much of anything on them.

definitely jumps.

but I've always wanted to be better at rails. I have so much more respect for someone who can slay rails
