Shitty little jumps that basically send you to a flat.

havent really been a big fan of flat rails that are just stuck in the snow without a lip or anything. Still hit them, but i mean, not a big fan.

Bad shaped jumps, where there is this extra little bump (almost invisible) on the top of the jump who shoot you too high or fuck up your spins

Jumps with really narrow landings, I went out of my local hills landing to many times this season and my season ended when I landed a little bit wrong on a switch 3 and ended up riding out of the landing and broke my back. Sucks to know I would have landed if the landing was somewhat normal sized.. And I hate icy jumps.

Don't hate wrecked features, be open minded!
even misplaced gapers are really just an alternative tap feature!

Downrails with a downhill lip... dafuq?

Square coping.  It's 2013 for fucks sake. Get with the program.

When a feature has just plain had enough but mountains put them out anyway.

a second/side lip on rails. So if you come off early using the proper takeoff, you land on the up-slope of the side lip.

the list is long, but 2 stand out :

1) FLAT LANDINGS

2) shitty hips; ie not vert enough take off, or too flat sidewall. a well made hip is SO FUN, but not if you're landing on cement from 20 ft up -_-

Jumps on a warm day that are all salted but the top of them and they screw up your spins and your entire jump for that matter.

I hate boxes that are the "T" shape with the support only coming down in the middle with the slidding portion over hanging.

wooden rails, corrugated tubes. and my mountain has this habit of putting a landing lip at the end of every rail. so if you come off just the slightest bit before the end of the rail you land on the upslope of the landing lip. terrifying if you spin off and catch it sideways

-Rails without anything that prevents ur skis from going under the bar, like just a bar and then you catch your skis on the legs and kill yourself.

-Boxes
-Mellow landings on jumps
-People starting to brake immediately after landing from a jump and turning the landing into moguls (the landing area being too short)

i was going down a drop-in to about a 40 fter today and about 10 to 20 little gapers came down the drop-in and i had to weave through them and then yell a them while i was in the air to get of the landing, thats my new hate.

I hate when rail features are to short to do anything on, or elbow rails that are at like 40 degrees and over. Shits so abrupt that you can either focus on greasing it and not trick, or try and trick and just come off early. no alternative.

Also, idk why people are bitching about urban style lips and pole jams... that shit just makes you a better rail skier, quit complaining.

Sticky rails where the speed doesn't matter, Icy jumps, rough lips, gapers.

Some people complain about rutted landings or rails or boxes, but I find them fun for buttering out of.

Features where your skis can get caught underneath, like the support beams.  Everytime i fall off these i shit my pants and pray to god that i dont get bucked halfway down the hill.

sticky rails, flat landings, un smooth take offs. I still don't understand how every park in the world hasn't managed to recreate brecks jumps. They are the best by far, it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to copy the style and build. I'm not saying every park needs huge jumps like breck but just copy the style and shape of them and size them to your needs.

This is going to sound stupid, but when I went to boreal like two years ago, the rails were too smooth. Yes too smooth, like to the point where you would almost not make it onto the rail, and then fly off at mach a billion. Eventually we got used to it and it was dope, but at first it was scary smooth and you couldn't grip, at all.

Short rails. I like them every no and again but when your home hill doesn't have anything over 20 feet, that shit gets old REAL quick.

Also really shitty lips that make it impossible to get onto the rail balanced. I want to spend my day learning new tricks, not re-learning how to hit a rail.
