It depends what you mean by that. I find some features with a bit of snowboard influence pretty fun. Like stuff where you have to pop on a little more etc.

When they get sticky, rutted landings, lips are all worn down by gapers, when its crooked, and when they have loosing panels on the top.

Broken features (my mountain they hit a rail with a groomer so is not somewhat curved at the end and not in a good way.) Features that you can tell they were trying to be creative, but ended terribly.

up rails that dont have any lip to them, so you are forced to pretty much butter on to them. also flat rails in a middle of a flat section with no lip, so you are expected to ollie over a foot up to get on it

my biggest pet peeve is features that would be nasty, but the jump onto the rail doesn't match the transition of the rail and it makes it sketchy/harder to do tricks on

Bonks, barrels etc. without the proper transition. If you don't pop you clip your boots, or you pop to get over and land flat.

Sticky rails, late pop jumps, lips to rails that are too poppy and I really dislike when the ollie onto a rail is small and then the rail is high off the ground. A lot of rails at killington are like this. At the beginning the rail is only 6 inches and then as soon as you get on the rail youre 3,4 or 5 feet off the ground. It messes with me head.

Pretty much just gapers using rail lips as jumps to get 3 inches of air and fuck over people that want to actually hit the feature.

Sticky rails, jumps that are too icy to spin, 1ft jumps on to 4ft rails, corrugated tubes 5ft long boxes, 4ft tall boxes that are tilted so that you slide off before the end with no landing, jumps with the landing as steep as the actual jump and features that are still sitting at the bottom not set up. Also the cannon box that I maid that they misplaced.

This. Last week was the worst. In addition to the dirty little sidehitters, there were gapers sitting on rails.

So I'd say any rail/box that appears in gapers mind to be a bench.

For some reason at my park they decided to put rails like 2 feet below the lips so they end up kinda looking like this / _____ and they are like 3 feet away from lip so to get enough speed to make it on you pretty much end up just tapping the last foot of rail and it's not exactly a pleasant land either sense they aren't down rails. Park crew is full of tards

At my hill they have snowboard comps about once every 2-3 weeks, and after the snowboarders tag every feature in the comp and leave, the park crew leaves them all spray painted and stupid. Other than that, sometimes the park maintenance crew will see that a feature's lip is totally fucked, so they'll close the feature and outline the lip with paint, rake the spare snow off so the lip's even smaller, then leave.
