Any airbags in California-ish area?

are there any airbag spots in or around California or any mountains in the west that regularly put one up?

I swear I think I’d be able to do a cork 3 or 5 but I’d like to reduce the chance of snapping my neck. Thx

Mammoth has one up mid-late season, or has had it in the past. Lots of times connected with US Ski and Snowboard team training, but I'm sure they've had a ticket deal where you can get time on it.



That being said, I'm sure it's ridiculously pricey, like a lot of stuff is now.

Better off financially by getting comfortable on a trampoline and then easing into corks by carving harder and harder into your 7's and 5's.

an airbag wont prevent you from snapping your neck. These specialized anti-neck-twist suits will, make sure to wear one before you go.

Woodward Tahoe has the roller skis into a foam pit. That’s the closest you’ll get tho. Could just try one on that nice spring slush

any rider who is known for their properly dialed cork 3s and/or cork 5s did not learn them on a bag
