I have a huge hill in my front yard, and this season, like always, I am going to make a jump in it, but im wondering if i should build a base for it with something such as dirt or hay bails?
snow is so cool.

if you build a base for it you wont have to get as much snow and you could hit it earlier.

Oh yeah, you will also have more control if you build a base of the shape and angle and things like that.

every slope is different. at my place its fairly steep for ontario so I had to build one huge jump so that my skiis would be evenly on the snow on the inrun. if ur skiis aren't evenly on the snow then the quick pressure changes when u hit the jump will destroy it.

my dad works at a small private school for boys with learning disabilities, and they go sleding every night during the winter, so they bought a backyard blizzard last season, but they dont use because they say it blows ice, and they also didnt need it, and they dont want it cause they dont realize that it can be fixed.

hay bails are sick. snow usually slides off wood though.

could you do something to the wood to make snow stay on it? cause i don't really wanna use hay cause it'll rot.....

mabye if you cover it in astroturf or something..... then it would even work as a summer jump.

It would take a while for them to rot if they're frozen anyways

I built a jump outa wood and put outdoor carpeting on it but I don't have a big enough hill to get speed and land on so I had to be towed in. So like what I'm trying to say is it was easy for me to make a smaller one outa wood but you could make a HUGE one with hay, it may just take a little longer

didnt think of the fire, but as for my house, its too far away to get burnt. but i think if i got rid of the hay bails before the spring it might be ok.

my local mountain doesnt even have or want a terrain park so i am hardly ever able to get to one. almost all of the tricks that i have ever done i learnded in my yard. I live close to mount snow, but i cant afford to ski it much.

hay bails wont rot in the snow, wood will rot before the hay. wood also takes a lot of effort to build, and it might be too big/ too small, and u wont get a good shape out of it. with hay bails u can start with a small jump when u dont have much snow and just build on it. vary the size and shape. plus if u make a wooden jump, the end of it WILL get uncovered.
