That picture of seven springs The Streets is a bit out of date, not sure what year they had that setup, but they had a few new features this year.

Holy shit this is a good thread.

I wish I got to ski sugarbush this year, it sounds like it was really fun.

I can't find a photo of the setup, but the level 1 sunny jump to halfpipe/quarter/hip landings was pretty cool. Not because it was the most impressive feature but because skiers were really imaginative with how they rode that thing!

They had a similar set up this year and it was open for everyone to ride, only down side is that it is a hike only park. They do it partially to prevent gapers from ruining the features and I also think they want to make it feel ore like a real urban park.

I remember seeing Nike did some big-ass tick out of snow along with a whole load of other sick features in Austria somewhere I think. Might have been for Nike Chosen or something? +K to anyone who finds it for me.

I think that picture of the streets was from the 11-12 or 10-11 season because they some if those planters out and now it's a little less interesting but there's definatley more rails

Impressive, but not all that imaginative. The SCI wall ride was pretty sick, but it's just a stock park feature scaled up a lot.

Personally I'd quite like to see two separate wallrides with the possibility of a transfer, it would be pretty scary to hit but the pros would do it...
