What do they do with the rails after x games?

Do they reuse the same rails at different x games competitions? Do they give/sell them to parks? Or do they just scrap them? Super curious about this now.

Probably paint them and use them at aspen or sell em to a resort interested and they’ll also repaint them. This just a wild guess, I’m sure someone knows more about it than me

I imagine aspen just recycles them across their resorts

Previously they were donated to Donald Trump's border wall because the organizers of X-Games are notorious Trump supporters but now that he's out of office, I don't know. That's a good question!

Well they keep the course for aspen open then leave it up for the rest of the season from what Ik, sometimes after aspen open they make stuff a bit smaller I think, but yeah I’d assume the big ones made of lots of pipe go to the border wall and the rest go to snow mass or stay at buttermilk

after x games they are used for the aspen open, and then they're stored with the moguls in the summertime

Spt takes some of them back and generally leaves most of them at buttermilk. There's a ton of old xgames, redbull, etc features lying around that mtn. Occasionally they've used features that bmilk had like the joystick a while back.

Course stays for a bit then if the Aspen Snowmass freeski open is happening will get remodeled a but for that. Cool that you can hit a pretty damn big course for a long time.
