are terrible. flattest landings ive ever hit. its barely better than knuckling a regular jump. anyone have the same issue at killy. the rails are really fucking sick though, almost makes up for it. /rant

clearly have never been to my home mountain, theyll build a super nice jump to flat, and the steep landings have flat ramps as jumps. doesnt make sense

dream maker and the stash both had legit jumps today. Timberline had shitty 10 footers and mouse run had a jump to wall ride and like a 20 footer

I've never liked the jumps at killington. last year on timberline all of the jumps sent you really low and far. no pop, flat landings. shitty. there rails tho...totally different story.

im going up to killington for the first time on feb 3-4 for the first time. i really want to dedicate a day for rails and the other for jumps. of course ill be hitting lots of trails, but i want to know what park will be better for rails and what park will be better for jumps? also when i first found out about the stash, i got scared to hit the rails and im still kinda scared and i was wondering if theres a lot of skiers in there hitting those features or is it mostly snowboarders doing 50-50s?
oh and what park should i go to to learn kinked rails? my home mountain wisp,(Tammy Wallnuts home mountain) has had no kinked rails out in since i started park and i just want to have a good rail to learn on.
thanks and +k for any help

Just do everything and don't dedicate a day to only rail or jumps.

ok thats sounds good. im not going to dedicate a day for each, ill hit it all. the only thing im really wondering about is if the stash rails slide faster or slower than regular park features.
thanks and +k to the both of ya

Everyone has been freaking out about Killi since the Dew Tour moved there but Mount Snow is still better.

Most of the shit in the stash is decent but the stuff in the trees has mad sketch potential. Nearly every landing is a sheet of ice from the boarders. So anything under 6" of fresh be aware that theres a sheet of ice under that fluff on landing. The stuffs do able just be aware. I've seen some nasty wrecks in there by peeps who didn't know.

I went to Killington for the first time last year. It was such a fun trip... I would go back for sure. The rails were so sick in all of the parks. Timberline and Dream Maker were so flowy. Timberline jumps are a waste of time, but I thought the ones in the Stash and Dream Maker were sick.
