I remember years ago airbags use to be a big thing at mountains but it seems like theyre fading away from at least the mountains i go to. Mount Snow stopped like 4 years ago, Wachusett stopped like 2 years ago. Is there any mountains that still allow the public to buy a pass or uses to airbags?

Most places in Ontario, specifically Collingwood, have airbags that are open to public use, as long as you have twin tips, but no ones going to trek out there for just the bags lol.

They don't really use it in the winter anymore cause it gets so buried. Def worth your time if your around the other 3 seasons.

Yeah this was my first thought! It's definitely not up or going up this season, but I also haven't seen it in videos or social media in a few seasons. It was a fun one too!

That’s a bummer bc all the older guys I ski with all went there to try their first Misty’s and corks and stuff. I thought I could do it without an airbag and now I have a fractured wrist lol. Would have really loved to hit that up

Was at MSLM yesterday and they appear to be shaping a takeoff for a bag in the Outback

Whiteface had/has one but I don’t remember the last time they actually set it up. There’s also Waterville valley but I’m not sure if theirs is public.

If you’re under 18 you should look into freestyle America, it’s a summer camp in New Hampshire with flatbed trampolines and dry slopes into airbags. The coaches are all super chill and Brent whipple coached there for a few years. it’s also not terribly expensive.
