Why do people have to learn to ski on the terrain park?

in les arcs they have a box at the bottom of the park and all the instructors take their class of 10 at least in a tran over the box going straight. its the most frustrating thing. they all land and snow plow and by the end of the day theres a huge bump in the landing that makes it basically impossible to ride switch out of.
story 2. in tremblant this year i saw a really fat snowboarding woman waiting to hit the first rail in the northside and her friend was filming her by the side. she managed to snake a few people and jumped off to the side (the set up jump for that rail is about 2 inches high) she doesnt even jump and falls over and it takes her about 5 minutes to get up.
but yeah whole topic really frustrates me.
 
my mountain is park exclusive........which is great for us experienced riders but we get the weekend warrior who is coming up once a season so he can claim to all his bro buddies that he is a "snowboarder" the main run is all park and we have to scream at people to stop to hit a feature its ridiculous. Bear needs to expand their mountain.....
 
This problem happens at my hills also and i understand your point, but the thing that pisses me of is the fact that they do it in the advanced park or the medium park. My mountain has a beginners park where if people do this you can understand because there still learning but when they come up to a 40ft and get enough speed to go of the jump and land to flat or carve the lips, walk side ways up a jump its so annoying. Dont yell at them tell them they should go to the beginner park if they cant hit the features.
Also at my mountain the instructor will take the little group of milo(tiny tiny kids) lesson through the medium park and purposely take them over the lips of the features which i think is complete stupidity and disrespect for the park crew who then have to fix the features all because some instructor was a douche bag.
 
warming up for the day with some small spins and i did a 360 over a 30ft step down and there was a little boy sitting on the nuckle screeming at me while i was in the air.

luckily i jumped over/beside him so all was well but he scared the fucking shit out of me
 
Can we all agree please that if a gaper insists on standing on the table/knuckle/in-run/out run of a rail, etc, then we should be allowed to incorporate them into the line.
i.e. 2 on to pretzel 2 out to Gaper bonk
 
some people do, your post reminded me of that video of some one doing a switch 7 i think to little girl helmet tap
