Most iconic features of terrain parks

Hey Newschoolers. I am in the process of creating a series of posters for a graphic design class, all based on different Mountains/Resorts terrain park features. My goal is to illustrate the most iconic or most recognizable terrain park features of all time at each resort. For example, everyone knows that when they see this rail, they are watching a mammoth edit, same thing with the satellite dish at Park City etc.. Does anybody have an opinion or two about what features are the most iconic to their respective terrain parks?

I'm kinda bummed that patch of trees on the right doesnt exist anymore. It was a quality hammock spot for post season jams on the millys. Plus tree removal in general is never cool
 
Grouse park may not be a well known park or have the most iconic features, but they do tend to be rather distinct due to the minimalistic design they incorporate. All grouse rails have the grouse logo on them, and many of the features are pretty uncommon, like the concrete ledges, corrugated tubes, capped rails, etc that grouse utilizes. Plus, grouse has built a bunch of new wooden features for the season. if you need photos of iconic features, plenty can be found on the grouse park blog.
 
I'm a fan of this thread.

The giant wallride at loon ( some of the street cred features as well)

BBQ rail at keystone

The truth rail, and Y rail, sobe bus at Okemo

Tucker cat rainbow box at echo

The streets at 7 springs

Dishes make me think of June mountain honestly. Also the wrecking ball thing on a chain from June was fairly iconic.

Stairset at DC mountain lab

The eyeball ball jib at park city (I think PC had that)

The fat green tubes at brighton

The firewood stack thing at mount snow

9 nights setup in general

8' long flat rail at Gore Mountain

I tried to stay Iconic more than simply creative

I think this thread was going for iconic more than unique.

Like the smith limo

That said I might bump a unique park features thread with the new chain rail grouse just built
 
Not sure if it counts enough for this thread, but the wutang rail at Trollhaugen.

Plenty of Z rails out there, Troll takes it a step up as usual.

Never even been there and I think of that so hopefully that's a good indicator.
 
Keystone is the massive XL rainbow rail from like 2006. The XL rainbow that they've used the past few seasons also counts.

Breck is freeway jump line.

Whistler is the big Oakley logo feature.
 
Spirit Mountain has a nice triple step-over jump line that finishes with a ridiculous step down. That usually only gets hit during the springtime turn up throw down vibes.

I immediately thought of the three (?) jump line at Park City that I always see TW and the 4bi9 guys hitting. Also, I would consider some of the boxes at Bear to be iconic.

Could someone fill me on on the story of that Mammoth rail? I've always assumed it was part of an old lodge or something? Just curious cause I would deff say that probably the most Iconic flat rail
 
this pyramid rail from sugarloaf is pretty neat

I posted a few east coast ones. Honestly don't know as much about europe as I'd like to

Here's a good one from Gore Mountain

Another from loon. The stairset off the shaper shack in the bottom left. Crappy picture but I'm lazy. It's been around for a decade or so and definitely iconic imo.

idk. my brain is dead today. I know a lot of features but trying to think of iconic ones.

Maybe the big boulder and mount snow single tube urbans they built 8 or 9 years ago at BB.

Woodward Copper had a sick park bench and lamp post a few years back but I haven't seen it since

Ah true didn't think of that when I had originally posted. Plus the bus stop shelter. I wish they would make that whole same setup again.

Pretty sure they were actually knocked down in the crazy storm last winter with like 90 mph winds. Trees were downed everywhere

alright thats a bummer but at least Brighton didn't deliberately cut em all down, I can live with mother nature causing it. The park feels way more empty without them separating the two lanes
