Measurements? get enough snow and build a quarter pipe,it doesnt take that much skill to figure it out

there IS a science to making it perfect though. it's easier to make a perfect takeoff ramp like High north does rather than a totally perfectly shaped quarter. for those big massive ones they have a giant metal guide that they use, and kinda shovel around that with those big long shovel things, you can see it in some shots of some movies when they're building the things.

yea but if you dont get it right you end up crashing, any mountain that builds one uses a premade form, which requires measurements

^ no it requires snow and a pipe dragon, but if you need help make it at least 15 feet tall, and an 87 or 88 degree angle, not vertical

Nah man, build it so it looks good. THen take a test run...if it feels to steep or flat in any part then add snow til its nice. Its not a science its just a guess and check

you can make anything into a science. when me and buddies build QPs, we just go by feel, not measurements set in stone.
