Most of the skinnier tube rails at roundtop are old snowmaking pipe, so technically you have.

It's not quite the lodge but there is some kind of observation deck at the top of Beaver Creek (I don't know the name of the run since I am not a regular there) that I jibbed. It was sick. /claim

Lol the baby one at the top of South Peak is like where I started learning to slide rails.

Also seen some snowboarders do some crazy shit on the left side of Upper Bear Claw where theres a couple feet of exposed pipe like perfectly a few feet off the trail
