I think its pretty to stupid to say that tricks are over rated..
Just because people do certain tricks more often, doesnt mean they are getting lame.
I actually enjoy seeing one trick executed in different varations by different people with different styles..
Hate me if you want.. It's just my opinion haha
theabortionatorUnfortunately for you the parks aren't trying to cater to just you. I can understand not having boxes in a epic $$$ rail jam, but saying that there shouldn't be any boxes in the park, or anything over the beginner park? Lol.
It's all about variety. IF you have a nice mix of features, boxes, rails, flats, downs, kinks, curved, various lengths etc, it keeps things fun and aid progression.
A lot of people learn tricks on a box and then take it to a similar rail. I see it all the time, skiers as well boarders.
Hell, a lot of places have things set up so you can hit two options in most places and avoid the boxes.
The park isn't always about how legit something is, or whether you can claim it. If that's what you're looking for we could raise all the features in the advanced parks to obnoxiously high with death kinks. Then when you get a shot on it you can claim the legitness so hard.

I'm with you on that one, it's just that here in Quebec, we have a park pass system, where you pay to have access to parks with bigger features, but since resorts want to make money out of that system, it's pretty frequent that they put beginner features besides more advanced ones. For instance, I skied a park last year where they had one beginner line full of large boxes right beside the more advanced rail line, while they could've had two or three advanced rail lines, since it's an advanced park with a park pass.
What frustrates me is when there's only one option for advanced skiers, when they could've been two or more if they decided to leave the boxes and the easier features in the beginner park.

the thing is , that box is not in an XL park , I didn't pay for a park pass that gave me acces to that box , it's the baby park , who gives a fuck if it's filled with boxes ?
fredyferl pretty much hit the nail on the head with his post.
Oh it's a good idea, it's just that a lot of mountains only do one big park and one really shitty beginner park, while there should be a decent beginner/intermediate park besides the bigger park, but less people would buy a park pass that way, so less $ for the resort...
