Park worker says don't jump stairs - Snowboarding Forum

JetFalcon · 03-22-2013, 05:03 PM

There's a stair feature at my local resort (MtHigh) and I was jumping it trying to clear it. Well, a park crewman saw me trying to clear the stairs, but I landed on the stair set itself and not the snow. And he told me to please do not jump the stairs.

First it was because it's not good for the stairs. Then it was "I don't want to see you get hurt." And that they are there for decoration. Well, I don't get why a resort would put up a stair feature and then tell people not to jump it. He was cool about it and wasn't hard on me, but I don't get why he needs to tell me not to jump the stair feature.

Well, he went somewhere else and I hit the stairs again even though he told me not to. I was able to clear it after a few attempts so his precious stairs were not stomped on. I just thought it was dumb for a park worker to tell me not to jump the stairs.

I was up there today as well, who knows maybe we saw each other and didn't even know it. I saw plenty of people ollie over the stairs, I thought you were supposed to since there was an oh so slight lip right at the top.

Also saw plenty of people wipe off the flat top feature on the left side and hit the stairs hard with their board. Probably causes just as much damage slipping off the features early and nailing the stairs. Cover the stairs completely with snow if they are so worried about it....

I skipped everything though after dropping in except for that double box right at the end. It was a box practice day for me today.

Also, I was wearing gunmetal colored pants with a brown flannel shirt and a gray vest over it. Don't see toooo many vest riders so maybe you'll remember me.

I'm confused. Was it an actual park feature? Seymour has some steps and patio rails and a bannister set up in the park, and the whole point is to hit it every which way you can. You aren't talking about the steps up to the lodge or something?

Well, I was there yesterday (Thurs 3/21). But you pretty much got all the descriptions right for the lower playground area. Surprised you are at your computer already since they do close at 4pm, so guess you live pretty close.

I did not expect anyone to tell me not to jump the stairs that was a park feature. If he tried to give me a hard time, I would call him out and question why they put stairs there. But he went off somewhere else so I kept jumping the stairs since he wasn't around to say no.

It was a park feature with rail/box on the side. These aren't stairs for pedestrians.

At my mountain the park crew are so high they don't give a fuck about anything.

...without yoga pants or turd refs...wtf?!?...didn't think op even had a snowboard...maybe an attempt at revamping his image??? Or maybe Mommy grounded him for a few days from his computer and be reflected on what a douche bag he's been on here and that any attention he received was only for our amusement...who knows. Who cares.
