Why do people do it? Is't that the rail looks higher or some actual reason, or is't just to make it look better?

Hum… Not sure. We used to clean snow from stairs but I never thought of taking the stairs out of the snow.

Its because all urban skiers are all very proactive in helping out their community wherever they can.

Falling onto stairs covered in snow won't hurt as much as concrete, it's considered harder without snow

personally i think its pretty stupid unless you're getting skis for free, but people do it to add extra gnar points. if you can get a rail before wrecking yourself on cheese-grader stairs or recover from a fall on said stairs and go do it again thats seen as sicker. I don't worry about it much because i don't want to wreck my skis every time i fall off early. call me a pussy but i'm not trying to replace 300+ dollar skis after every urban rail.

When you have snow on all the stairs it doesn't look good on the cam and just not cool ha.
