My friends and I are thinking about setting up a portable stereo and maybe some chairs who knows at a random rail at my local resort. Just sesh there for a couple hours fool around and have good times. My local resort barely has a park, and no one ever goes down it. Have you guys ever done this?

I've always wanted to eat my lunch on one of those waxed tables they have in the park and see what happens.

hah, also do they let you take mini propane grills up the lift? I could just use a camping one thrown inside a backpack.

I seem to remember there was a story about that in the best gaper moment threads, an indian family sitting at the tabletop in some park.

This basically sums up summer skiing at hood, just a big party/session on the good features, minus the stereo and chairs.

It'll be twice as much fun if you do it on the deck of a jump.

On another thought anyone have one of those jobsite radios? they use them for construction. My buddy I work with has one and the thing is legit. Perfect for rail parties.

It's what we use at the yard park. Not me skiing, it's member **Steeze*Whiz** crushing it out there. We don't really have 'rail parties' but good times are had there forsure. We got tables, chairs, boxes, loads of stuff to sit on. We were going to have a full on barbecue there with the barbecue as a feature, but never really got it going.

Thats awesome. Rail parties will be the new thing this year. Just a massive party on the hill every day.

Alot of resorts have those stairsets with a deck on it. One of the resorts I go to has 2. They both have a grill open to use, benches, tables, chairs and have outdoor speakers they use for rail jams and contests. They hold 20 people comfortably and its always a good time on lunch break watchin people slay the down rails and dfd boxes
