Hey I'm just trying to get a tally on which mountains allow anything where the skis go above the head. I'm from Mt. Ashland and it seems like we are the only ones that don't allow them for some reason

At Ski Sundown the "don't allow inverts", but they really just mean front flips and back flips off jumps (people do front flips off rollers and stuff all the time). I actually ask ski patrol what the consider an "invert" and he said "no front flips and backflips, but corks, rodeos, mistys, and flatspins are ok" I thought it was pretty funny.

I think way back in the day you couldn't do them at Mt High but now they just advise against it. Back then none of the jumps were big enough anyway though.

ski dubai allows them even though the jump is tiny. i think they only allow then so that when shit people thinker they are better than they are and only get half way on a backflip they can laugh their ass off.

At Kissing Bridge they say, "No Inverted Ariels." But this means the feet cannot come above the head.  This is where the rule got subjective, depending on  who  was enforcing  it, ski patrol, par cew, etc. . I got disqualified in a comp, for a rodeo 5 to a switch rodeo 7 a few years back.  The seven was pretty inverted though.

Who cares what the rules are. Flips are safer than spins half the time.

Do what you want.

Don't be an asshole, follow some park etiquette, but don't bother with the rules.


No feet above you head? retarded. Worst case you get chased by ski patrol or something

So if you do a backflip on your property, on a jump you built it's illegal? Or is it just at resorts

I'm not on that level yet, but I'm happy Alpine Meadows is chill with that. I've seen double front flips, double backs, kangs, and dub cork 10's on the big jump on Nick's run.... Alpine Meadows has some really good park skiers, come to think of it.

thats so sad and actually makes me angry, to hear that it is forbidden to do aerial inverts in so many parks in the US. happy that in europe there is no park (at least none that i know of) that forbids inverts.
it seems like a real gaper policy. inverts are just as dangerous as any trick you do over a big kicker.
i got more hurt when failing bios than fuckin up a backflip.
why the hell are there such policies? dont you have the right to do whatever trick you want to?
i mean terrain park use is at own risk anyways.

strange laws over there. my sympathies are with u :D

Mont Ripley in the UP allows them. Me and friend got kicked off the hill years and years ago for doing some, but last time i was there they were ok.

My mountain technically has a rule against it, but people still do them even though there weren't hardly any jumps last year to do them on.

At app i heard that fronts and backs are against the rules but anything else like a misty or a flatspin is fairgame and not considered an "inverted aerial".
