I think that all mountains should have a rope tow going up the side of their park along with the chair lift. This would be extremly beneficial because if you wanted to have a sesh on a rail/jump you wouldn't have to hike, but rather simply hop onto the rope tow and then hop off when you get to the top of the feature, your skis wouldn't even have to come off (unless you fall). The rope tow would also open the possibility of seshing jumps because right now the hike needed for a jump sesh is to large to realisticly be feasible. Does anyone else think this is a good idea?
*TACO-DOG*here's a picture of rabbit hill. the rope tow goes up what you see on the right side, beside the jumps and honestly it's the best thing ever. you can get a good 60 laps in over 3 hours if you were hot lapping. wouldn't want it any other way.
I live 30 mins away from this hill and it's amazing, there is also a hill downtown that has one. You get so many laps it's insane.
thin about this all the time too then saw it in that tc episode and saw how effective it is there is a small like 50x50 or 100x100 yard (smalllllll) artificial snow rail park in eagle Idaho with a rope tow and it was cool how many laps you could get in even on just the few rails there.
If you have a good spot to setup it's not too hard to build a custom rope tow with an old motor and set it up next to your own rails. It would be sweet if the resort did it but most mountains are more concerned with the bottom line and faster park laps don't increase revenue
