Default Help a resort improve its terrain park

Seriously though, it be nice to have some jumps into powder.. a few
snowmakers strategically placed to get some big (man made) powder
would be interesting to see in a park.


I'm not so sure I'd want to see that. First of all, landing in deep
snow is harder than landing on groomed snow. It's a lot easier to auger
your tip into the snow and wind up doing a cartwheel. Second, it would
get tracked up after a dozen jumps, and landing in tracked up deep snow
is even harder!

Those who ride backcountry or even "in bounds backcountry" would be
fine. But the crowd that never leaves the park would kill themselves!
