and for me
I find a lot of small features to utilize on the sides of some of the runs. Oftentimes there are depressions and small mounds of snow packed up to make micro-jumps. If you're really good then you can use the last part of a mogul field to hit some air.

I really don't mind if a kid takes a hard spill and takes a little longer than normal getting out of the LZ - it's the ones that use the park as a run and move freely in and out of the LZ that scare the crap out of me.

I had a talk with one little girls mother one time. Her little girl was criss crossing thru the park which had large jumps and people carrying lots of speed. The mother was all upset that some teenager was swearing at her daughter. So I explained that if she continued letting her ski thru the park that swearing was the last thing she would be concerned with if someone were to hit her coming off a large jump. I spoke nicely but firmly and explained the consequences, which I think scared her, (part of my plan) we never saw her little girl back over there.

See thats what I mean talk to the parents they are always there and they don't think anything of what thier kid is doing until thier kid get run over.

Having seperate parks for beginners and more advanced riders is definitely the way to go... and I'd say have the advanced park requlated some how as people previously mentioned. But kids that don't use the terrain features properly is definitely a problem. Not only do people get hurt, but everytime I watch a kid snowplow up the approach for a box or rail and then skid off the side it just kills me (and the terrain). One of my buddies has had to take a really hard fall twice this season becuase of kids being where they shouldn't (one of the times his board caught the kids face); and I just ride a modest little midwestern ski hill. I can only imagine how bad it gets in the mountains.

i just steer clear of the whole park thing, the jumps you find while going down a trail are usually more exciting..

One time I was about to 50/50 a box and out of nowhere this little skier girl, who couldn't have been much taller than like mid thigh on me, showed up and rode -across- the ramp leading up to the box. And to make things worse, she was actually lacking so much speed that she had to do the "skating" thing to get past it. I was mega pissed.

Agreed. Just this weekend I had a run-in with one on skis. He was sitting down in front of the kicker and then moves out of the way. As I came up to the jump with a lot of speed, the kid cuts back around in front of the jump. I had to cut so hard to avoid leveling him, and doing so, I went off the side of the kicker with my back facing it, and landed on my back. I wanted to beat the hell out of him, but I just sat down on the side of the mountain and caught my breath.
Not only that, but if they do go off the jump, lots of times they stop at the lip. So they carve it up and make it icy for the rest of us, while delaying the rest of us, just to roll down the backside.

yeah like i understand if they are a complete new to the terrain park and get their speed wrong w.e but i hate when they keep comin up and they just are too scared to go faster so every fuckin time they go up to the lip and back down

heres my two cents


i hate little kids who go up the tow rope on the terrain park and they are in front of you and they fall and they stay in the tow rope path and you fuckin have to jump over them or swerve way out the way

pisses the fuck out of me
they shouldnt even be in the park

I completely agree. I mean, watch this vid.
