One Feature to add to This Year's Park?

If your local resort gave you access to incorporate one brand new feature to your park this year what would it be?

For myself it would have to be this waterfall/kink rail that I saw in a Windells web post.

Even just something like this would be dope. Having a rail set up before it into a banked/sloped butter box would be sweet as well.

i don't know if this counts as one new thing to add to the park, but if the park crew actually maintained the park at all, that would be great

and a well-built jump would be nice

If that's your home mountain grab a file and smooth them out. Sucks if there's no park crew doing it but better to do it yourself than snag a bur and get murdered.

Fun as fuck. Rocking this one right now.

That makes me sad to hear. Honestly a lot of places that would benefit far more from a well built/maintained park than a new feature. Hopefully things change there or you can move onto somewhere else. If you're stuck there for a while see if you can get involved.

Artacunoa 15 feet wide and 40 foot long butterbox

Dimensions are kind of overkill. Unless you set it up as a bank or wallride you're never going to need to use half the width. 8 feet even is wider than your skis by far and plenty.


Also trying to move a 15' x 40' box would be a nightmare.

For me a elbow tube and z tube. Probably won't get a chance to build them this year but if I go to another mountain that needs new features it's on. Got my donkey, down, canon tubes and hitchen post this year.

I might settle for some would features.

And that image was fucked so FDF from previous post

I'd be happy if they just set up all the features they got and maintained them well.

But yeah tube rails, there's never too many of those.

"But yeah tube rails, there's never too many of those."

Literally just said " You can never have too many tube rails today" when talking about cutting up a tower tube into 3 sections to add to the tube fleet.

I love tubes. Best fucking trend in terrain parks. Not fad ish either. Fun, functional, and a fresh face in the parks.

Fatty tubes 4 lyfe.

If your mountain has a dfd see if they will flip it around for a few days.

Pebble definitely needs features that aren't rails made out of signs and flat boxes. The lift tower rail is pretty dope though

when its that long, it becomes a matter of greasing it once and never ever hitting it ever again. MSLM has a 140ft down rail, and after i slid the whole thing one time, i have had no desire to go near the thing. all thats gonna happen is you slip off early

Agreed 40 to 50 feet is reasonable to actually get tonnes of tricks on but i still enjoyed going back to that 140 after i tamed it. I mean if its between that and nothing i wouldnt take it out of the park
