Good places to build a backcountry jump around Beaver Creek?

I'm thinking about building a jump on the 10th or 11th hole at Eagle-Vail golf course. Will there be any issues with this location, and do you know of any better spots?
 
From working in the golf industry for many years and knowing how golf courses operate in the off season- MOST but not ALL golf courses do not give a shit about what is going down in the winter. The person you want to watch out for is the golf course superintendant- but if the course is buried in snow he probably wont even come after you. I would avoid all golf greens all together because that's just bad karma to fuck up a golf green in the off season that costs thousands of dollars to maintain.

There is always Vail Pass. Hike up and find a spot. Its not hard, just get up there.
 
Good advice. I'm just thinking about the golf course because I will spending a week in my friend's condo which is right next to the course.

And, just to add, I'm an avid golfer and would never do anything that could cause damage to the green (Even though it's shit; the one time I played there, my ball plugged in the green because there was so much vertical drop between the the tee box and green).
 
Ive built a jump on hole 9 of that course. Id say alta chutes, royal elk or black bear are your best bets. maybe some places on the bald spot
 
When you say the "bald spot" do you mean backcountry terrain you can see and access from the Larkspur lift? If not, what do you mean?
