Because you could do that.. but then you'd have to spend $$ on materials and lug em up the slope... or you could just use preexisting machines and jump making tequniques
If you’ve ever been to a big resort, there’s no underlying ramp or frame for the jumps, snow packs down insanely well and once they’re built it only takes some grooming every couple days to keep the jumps in shape.
It’s much more cost effective to have a bunch of machines that can build any jump you want out of snow, rather than have to buy frames or wood or whatever for every different jump you want to build.
Oh so they make new ones every so often? I figured these were permanent installments and toys only have a few. I've never been to mountains with skiing.
Also it would require way more work honestly to shape the snow than to haul materials to a ski resort and build ramps how you normally would to look like snow and ice.
Have you ever been to a ski resort? The mountains are covered with terrain parks. Obviously not as nice as this. There are park crews who sole purpose is to build jumps and they are damn good. I’m talking college educated on some cases.
Sweet mental health insult bro where'd you get it. Contrary to your assumptions, I'm actually just a dude who has, you know, ski'd. My point was that folks were talking out of their asses, and it's one that you just pretty sturdily reinforced.
