Your take on Terrain Parks?

[hiroto]

I love them. In addition to major increase in glade skiing over last 10 years,
this keeps me busy giving me new challenges. But it is also a concern for
more injury. I saw a 2,3rd grader face planted off a kicker ending up
with her face covered in blood (I hope it was only nose blood). I hope they
provide much much smaller jump, even smaller than those junior kickers
they usually provide. I also like to see introductly freestyle clinic provided.
I like to take something like that but I guess my only option is to take a private
lesson (or are there something out there?) Sunapee has such a clinic but
it is only for boarders.

Also does anybody know if there is a good instructional video for the basics of
contenporary freestyle skiing? I really like to hit the easy rail but have no idea how
should I approach it.

How can you NOT like terrain parks!
They seem to be magnets for boarders. I'd rather have them there than on "regular" slopes scraping snow down to the ice or mess up a good bump line. :wink:
