they slide really well

love wooden rails, my dad and I pulled some old fallen trees out of our woods and i turned them into rails, will post them in here later. They take a few tries to get use too but slide well

I don't have much experience with them, cause my home resort only has 3 that haven't been open this year, but I saw this on Facebook and it looks like a death wish

Ok, off to home Depot to get some beams

I caught an edge on one snowboarding back when I was 12 and smashed my face into the ground and haven't touched one since.

they're fun but i find they're super easy to catch an edge on

Butternut's parks are a joke. I go a few times a year since my fmaily has a summer home nearby.

Their rails are decent at best and jumps are absolute garbage. They would be much better off dedicating less features that are built better. No idea who though that rail would be "fun" on skis or a snowboard

id be fine 5050ing that on a snowboard but those and corrugated tubes i mostly avoid on skis unless im really feelin it

I ski every weekend at butternut and that rail is a death wish for sure, but have seen a few boarders hit it. They have 3 other ones in rn though that are really hittable and actually pretty fun. The jumps improved this year for sure the bottom jump is actually formed like a normal jump instead of a abused cheese wedge like normal there.

Carinthia at Mount Snow has an amazing all natural park. The logs slide extremely smooth.

Check out the Bonezone at Brighton

^^^^^^ LOLLOL

But seriously I was there today and I got convinced they slid nice, theyre fucking smoooooootthhh

usually really smooth but sometimes feel a lil weird surface swaps are kinda hard

I was able to hit this with the bark on and everything on a warm day. I couldn't do much on it for swaps because I was scared of catching my edge but ifyou hit a wood rail like how you would hit a corrugated tube you should be fine

My hill has a log that is really waxed and it is actually what I landed I first kfed on

It's called prospector and it's definitely sick. It's a shame that the place is so overrun with gapers, because the actual builds are always awesome across all the parks.

Rebroke my collarbone the first time this season on a wood rail. Done with them for life

they are for snowboarders

depends how well they're manicured. The one resort in ohio that has it, the rail has bumps and things to catch on all over it. The one skier I saw hitting it almost accidentally did a misty 4 out. And by that, I mean he almost fucking died.

At Mt Snow they lube them up real good so it's almost impossible to catch an edge.

Wood rails are pretty nice some times they get way to sticky though and you catch but if you put polish and polyurethane and sand it down it will be nice!

This. I was going to say, aren't wood rails waxed? Or at least at the big resorts, don't they put a wax or coating on to make them slide?

Some friends and I built 3 rails out of trees we cut down at our home mountain. There is a longish down rail, a short pole jam and a c rail. They are pretty fun especially snowboarding and one of them works pretty well even for skiers. The bone zone has made them super popular recently
