Favorite Park Feature

[MarkC]

I know there are not a lot of terrain park lovers on this board but what is everybody's favorite feature in a park? I personally am a fan of step downs but enjoy a variety of features. I have not gotten into rails that much.

Love C-Boxes, Battleship rails and boxes, and step downs and ups.

My favorite feature of parks is that they're usually within sight of a chairlift, so I get free entertainment by watching the crashes as I ride up. :wink:

That or the spectator area


I used to love hitting jumps in high school, especially on bump courses. There really wasn't such things as parks those days. These days, aside from the minor drop, don't huck so much and I'm cool with that.

Not being a snowboarder, my favorite park feature is when I see one of these going through them:

Big mother f@cking booters...tabletops are nice as well...I have a soft spot for the old light-up/disco box at Blue...I also like skiing down the steps..

Any moderately sized hit/jump where I can see the landing area.

Yesterday I had the day at Stratton. It was pretty cold and plenty windy (the Gondola was on wind hold all day), so in the afternoon the gf said she was done riding the 6-pack [Ursa?] to the summit. So we skied the bottom half of the mountain (little boring), and I spent the beginning of each run in the mini-park trying to learn to do a rail properly. I fell a bunch...eventually, I got a little better, realizing I actually had to lean slightly forwards to ride a flat ski (rather than leaning slightly back & edging, which was my instinct, ala sideslipping).

But does anyone have any illuminating tips as to how properly ride a rail? I'd like to learn.

GSS - No mention of Outback Steakhouse? No steeze? No stoke? I'm sure this will also somehow annoy all the haters.
