and for comfort i say make the tables no narrower than 10 feet its just not enough room. and unless uve got some people really experienced with jumps and rails around u its just gonna be a trial and error thing so good luck.

u really have to go somewhere and see a good terrain park to understand what stuff should be like. for little rails u can bury the stands in the snow but for the big ones im pretty sure u have to mount them in the dirt also

if you're using dirt to make teh jumps & rail mounds, then just mount the rail in the dirt. else, just mount them in the snow once it begins to fall.....

I think for most rails they have an inverted T as stands so that they grip better in the snow. and as for jumps 15ft is a small table, 50 ft is a pretty big table, 80 ft is a huge table. I'd say somewhere around 20-30 should suit your needs.

I'd say make one or two really nice big kickers rather than a whole lot of different sized ones. That way there will be less maintenance.

If you're building stuff in the dirt, just build a big flat section into the hill to build the kicker on once the snow falls. Check out the picture: green = hill; brown = what you need to build with dirt; blue = kicker with snow. Try to get use of a groomer when you build the actual snow kicker and it should be pretty easy.

thats a good idea --then ur saying like have a 20 foot gap between the kicker and start of the transition?

Right. If you build a flat section it will be easier to build the kicker, plus it will be easier to hit since the trasition from downslope to upslope will be longer and smoother, meaning that you can set up easier for a trick. If you built like a 50ft long flat section then you could build the kicker wherever you wanted on it so that you could have a small or large gap. You could build it near the end of the flat part to start with , then later in the season reuild the kicker further back for a bigger gap. You could even build it really wide and have two kicker on it - one short gap and one long. This will require some serious work though - you'd need digging machinery or else a load of friends with shovels willing to work for weeks.

they dot have to be but thats probably a good idea. id recomend 2 straight rails, a flat rail, a rainbow rail, and maybe a small kink rail to start. good luck man!

Building the rails on the normal slope shouldn't be a problem for most people.
