back country has more margin for error, if u r a begginer u cant just pop onto a rail, or jsut launch off a booter

i dunno ive found powder jumps easier to get the confidence for but harder to land so its a coin toss.

That's a pretty broad question. I'm sure it's different for everyone but for me if I was hitting a new bc kicker I could nail my bigger tricks like d-spin 7's in 3 tries or less but sometimes even easy 14 stair rails take me more tries than that. Plus considering that getting speed for rails is usually way harder and the wipeouts are more brutal, I'd have to go with rails as being harder.

true ^ rails hurt more when you crash so you natrually get intimidated and fall more cliffs are hard to stick clean but falls dont hurt as much so you are more likely to have high confidence next time you try it.
