so my plan after this weekend is to go boot pack my mountain for some post season pipe dreams and maybe just normal skiing from up top too but this is regarding the parkish activities... there is a pile of rusty rails and snow making tubes that i want to use and i want some suggestions on how to do it:



i was thinking use the snowmaking tube that is the least rusty and the weird short rectangle thing but sideways cuz the top is rusty anyways give me ideas and remember that there all rusty as shit

Looks like a few proper park rails there so just setting them up would probably be easiest

Just get an old ski to get the rust off or flood it with cooking spray

It would be a waste to not fix the rails. Fix the rails with a grinder or sander or something else

After you catch your edge on the rail a few hundred times you should have them smoothed out nicely

Good luck moving that snowmaking pipe. Not happenings.

Even those smaller rails are pretty heavy.

jompcockenjoy sticky rails idiot

I do not understand OP. Asking for suggestions on how to use rails but doesn’t want to sand them haha.

Since they’re all super rusty I guess the only thing you can do is like, lay them all down and like bonk them?

Is that the advice you’re looking for?
