Backcountry booter vs. park jumps

park table

easier to land tricks

you get way more hits on them so you can do better tricks usually

you dont ever have to worry about shit in landings

you dont have to build thme yourself

if you die the ski patrol is there

BC Booter

Landing is softer

its just you and your friends usually

way cooler to film on

just way more radical
 
Park pros:

already built for you

you can lap the park thanks to the chairlift

park jumps usually have flow

multiple features

cons:

public parks get rutted out due to gapers

landings get icy

crowds

BC pros:

pow landing=hard to get hurt

privacy

more fun since you're with the boys

cons:

hiking

if you build it wrong you're stuck with it (unless you wanna build again)

time consuming

prolly will get really wet/cold by the end of the day

 
well the only real plus i can see for park jumps is easy access, easier switch landings, and ussually smoother takoffs. I would rather hit a backountry jump any day.
 
Park most use, easy accses, pre built, overcrowded, possible gapers, ski patrol . BC, hard to get to, have to make features, powder, no crowdes, no ski patrol.

BC is way more fun if you have a group of friends and a lota shovels and time.
 
BC booter +'s, im not a big pussy because even if its spring the snow is semi soft so im not scared to go big

Park jump +'s always really well maintained, easy to lap the park you dont always have to hike,

BC booter cons, takes a couple hours to really build a quality hit, always have to hike it, unless you feel like wasting alot of gas, sometimes your creations dont turn out so sick

Park jump cons, icey landings hurt alot when you fall, you have to watch out for gapers, and yeah
 
exept little kids.

which is another plus of bc booters. no little kids sitting on landings
 
i will say i would rather hit a bc jump, although one more bad thing about bc jumps is, yes it is a soft landing but after awhile it gets bombed out and at that piont i think the landings hurt even if landed right. that is not good.

yeah i know. especially if u have tht faggot at ur mountain tht always seems to show up when ur done building the jump and does his shitty ass lincoln loops tht he never lands and makes a huge ass bomb hole in the landing........
 
BIG RED aka willy...hahahaha

yeah I talked to them about it and they denied doing it at least you know that kid with big hair he says as far as he knows they helped build it

BS or no?
 
thts BS. hes never helped build it. Chase almost beat his head in with my shovel cuz he tried to hike back up and hit it again. tht was a hella funny time.
 
yea i live on east coast, i think that if i ever got to ski backcountry id just ski it and maybe not build a jump since i dont get to ski powder very often
 
madsteezin and royale, if you're so in the mood to build booters, build up the Leo's Gap booter on K2 Face. It's too small to hit right now.

 
never heard of the spot. but we and a bunch of others have the Lake E jump built and were gonna work on one soon in South back somewhere
