6 points for trees (nicely spaced trees, I hate tight trees)

Arthur’s Choice at Whistler for the win. I’m sure you would have done some laps there skip

Yep, I like Arthur’s Choice. First time I went there was my 7th time snowboarding in spring morning (icyyy), injured my ribs (torn rib cartilage) hahah. Ever since I only go there on good days lol.

I wouldn’t go quite as far as saying I ‘love’ rails lol LOL (bit of a love hate relationship) but I do like them, and I don’t think snowboarding would be the same without them.

where do boxes come in? Do they count as a rail?

Cos I don’t like rails but I do like boxes.

 

I’d say they count, same concept, just a different type - kinda like how natural hits or spines are still jumps or “airs”.

Yep, sure do. Boxes are a type of rail.

They are just something to slide on. A parks rail line can consist of only boxes and still be called the rail line or jib line.
