Terrain parks progressing towards BMX-park course style?

Does anybody think that more of the tightly packed, closely connected lines of bmx park courses are going to be the future of skiing comps and terrain parks. I'm talking about the jumps in skiing that are laid out across the whole hill coming together and being formed into one big multiple-take  off hit, sort of like at the candide invitational, Forthread2
or making the hits closer together so that more of a line is needed, instead of only having one or two lines of jumps and rails making up a course. I realize skiing requires a downhill approach so it wouldn't be all that close to a bmx course(flat land), but i think it'd be an interesting change to see some of that coming out in the comp scene this year.For thread1first example i could find, bmx park.

Thoughts?

WRONG  

I dont know which parks in MN you ski, and I dont know where you've been out west, but I distinctly remember standing at the top of freeway, and A51, looking for a place that wasn't either on some sort of feature or in the way of one. At welch the park is so open we have racers carving through the thing. If somebody tried that at breck they couldnt do it without launching off something. The smaller parks out there are a bit more open but with more lines then anything I've seen here. Even if the rails at the big parks out west are spread out, they are also on massive pads so you really dont have any free space. I love it.
