Snow park is having a beginners area with a magic carpet this year.

^ Weird. The gap between a magic carpet beginners’ area and the rest of the place is about as wide as it gets.

Yeah, but the difference is that ya have to ride the carpet while it’s in reverse!!!!!

i would prob prefer they didnt have a beginners area to keep the beginners out…as harsh as it sounds.

i am by no means pro at park but when i was there last year a few of the days there was about 3-4 ppl who were holding everyone up by constantly falling off simple boxes/jumps and sitting on the down ramp for a solid minute until we either yelled/threw snow balls until they moved. and they werent hurt, just sitting there looking up the hill, talking to friends etc.

In my opinion snow park isnt a noob place at all.

well it wasn’t the fact that they were beginners - it was just that they were rude!
I’d prefer them to have a beginners area. I’m going to NZ with a mixed group of riders this year and it’ll be good to be able to take everyone there and everyone be happy rather than have to split up and go to different resorts.
Its just not being selfish. I’m not that good and stack my fair share on boxes but you’ve just gotta either let the good ones go in front or get the hell out of the way as soon as you’ve fallen!
