Hey!

This year I'm thinking of going to the snowpark and taking pictures of skiers/snowboarders going off jumps, rails, tables and what not.
Is that weird to do? Are there proper steps to take with the mountain to do so?

Here are some of my pictures

I'd say its fine, but if theres a group already filming or taking pictures, dont take their shots

If you plan of filming or photographing anyone, go up to introduce yourself, ask if its alright to film them and if someone else is filming or taking photos of them talk to that person as well. You maybe able to learn a few things off of the other filmer/photographer even if they don't want you to film/photo them.

I haven't done that, I just have my friends go and I take pictures of them. Just checking to see what others thought about taking pictures of randoms.
Would asking riders if they would like to have pictures of them be odd?

Make sure you know park etiquette. Don't be getting in the way. Also, ask first.
