as I get better at skiing I am starting to hit the bigger rails, which at timberline are pretty big. I have been experiencing trouble getting on to them, and was wondering if you guys had any tips.

If it's very high maybe try to pop ever so slightly with your weight a little bit back (not too much though) which should allow you to bring your tips over the rail. Also go fast, more speed means more height.

Read it as "pooping" but really, yeah just get enough speed and you'll be over the rail.

Ollie of your tails like negromancer said. Approaching the rail shift back on your tails then of the lip through wieght forward and pop hard. The force of the skis unflexing will give you extrapop

One thing for me is that with higher rails, youre not gonna be sliding as much of it, because you have to jump farther down. Just find a spot on the rail that's at the level as your skis and jump to that. Just as if youre hitting a normal rail that's a gap - to. Of course, speed and committing are necessary too
