There's been no reveal as to what the course looks like yet has there? This will never happen but they should put the rails at the bottom. Rails at the top necessitates that you do tricks that help you maintain speed for jumps but if they were at the bottom, you wouldn't have to worry about that.

It all depends on the slope, most slopestyle runs end at the bottom of the headwall, so its usually too steep/too flat for rails at the bottom. Some courses have done this, but for the most part the top of slope runs are flat so they put the rails there and then as you head down the slope you gain speed for jumps.

Thats just copper, most slope courses are on better runs.

The last two olympics had HUGE setups, so I'm expecting it to be large.

The last two Olympic slope courses made all other parks around the world look pathetic, everything was massive and high consequence. Thinking more about it, what the skiing Olympic slopestyle course should be like, so good shit.
