Yea you've got a point. You can get way more hits in at Dagmar per day. I was actually super excited to ride there when it opened because I liked the concept of top to bottom features, and even thought that I might end up riding at Dagmar more than louis this year... but after a full day, it was clear to me which hill was superior.
It just doesn't have the vertical... Like, every one of my runs was under 30 seconds long. I don't really like to stop and wait before features. Doing that is killer for speed too, if you mess up a trick you can't get speed for anything. Also just because the features are top to bottom doesn't mean they are going to be good. I mean, personally, I found there was only one rail line that was decently sized and trickable. About a third of the features were just plain not fun. There's only so much you can do with such a small area.
Louis has decent jumps and a really long and varied run. Everything is big and trickable. You've also got half a run of downhill, which is awesome for practicing riding switch, making little jumps, tranny finding, etc. Dagmar is just the same rail line all day.
I don't really know how else to explain it, but personally after riding a full day at both hills, I can confidently say that MSLM is the way to go for me. I realize this is ridiculous and long winded, but I hope some of you can benefit from this post when choosing where to ski.
