The double seater tows are legit. Just that much better than the magic carpet

You can just grab onto a rope tow anywhere unlike lifts and j bars.

lapping 1 rail with the rope to get a trick makes filming 100 times easier

Man this is why I miss Norway (Norway, MI). Not a great park but a couple decent features and a towrope is a game changer. I'm struggling hard to relearn tricks at Granite Peak. I complain about this all of the time on here.

They just need to start making all parks with a rope tow now.

If you think a rope tow park isn’t the best thing in the world then you’re on crack.

I only agree if we are talking about the rail garden. The jump line is a different story

I don’t hit jumps so I’m referring to rail gardens with small hips and swerve type snow features

In general I agree, but places out west with high snow accumulation are going to struggle without some advancements
