Unique Terrain Park Features

Unique features or creative setup of standard features. I know there's some wild stuff out there and figured I'd make a thread. [img]http://jilladler.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/june_mountain.jpg[/img]

loon NH has some progressive features. like mini pipe with rails for coping. rails that are just chains. or gate rails that swing on a hinge at the start of the rail... they're all hard but so fun.

almost forgot this one, so sketchy for skiers. I remember seeing it at Okemo when it first opened and then I saw it again at Stowe a couple weeks ago. Park crew guy said Okemo sold it to them and now they have it "on display" cause people kept getting hurt on it

Lol it's like a school bus with no windows painted. Is that inside wall curved like a saucer dish? I remember seeing it and wasn't good enough at the time to really know what it was.

I've always wanted to hit a V (down-up) rail or an N (up-down-up) rail that's just not sketchy enough to be able to slide but still sketchy

That's what I was hopin to see more of but still some good stuff posted.

Sugarbush did some very solid work with mostly stock features. I've never ridden there but I stalk mountains photos and they seem to have things on lock right now. Check out their stuff.

I've been liking that these have been popping up a bunch

The plywood banks next to rails are getting done more

And 2 from 1 contest

Wide box to down rail

This ones more straight forward but it looks fun as hell and you don't really see it. up box to down box with some bonk action in the middle.

basically its setup kind of like a rail on top of a quarter pipe(not as steep) and you can get of early to drop down on it kind of like a stair set but to the side. just check out a bunch of recent sugarbush edits for examples

I'm 99% sure that both okemo and stowe have their own amp bus. Okemo keeps it in the rail shed below the super pipe when its not up.

You drop off the rail into it. I've seen them set up different ways.

Also sometimes a tube rail with a wallride up against it near the end to drop into. I'll post other pictures when I can find them, I don't have any saved.

Since people posted some shots with ponds in them.

And since it was mentioned earlier might as well post some neffland.

These kind of features are showing up more.

Pretty unique feature, like a pond skim rail feature for Red Bull Super Soakers at Woodward at Copper.

Brighton has a ton of unique stuff as well for example the Candy Land park they have has tons of low skate style features and trannys like at the end of this edit.

Sunday River, my home mountain for the most part, put in a jib filled halfpipe this year which was pretty unique.

Loon also does a nice job with creative stuff.
