just wait for a good sized crowd and then your opinion might change. its not too bad if freedom is empty. you pretty much have to keep moving and not stop to keep your speed up to hit every feature. if you stop you either have to hike up a little bit or skip the next feature. and if theres a lot of people there you cant keep a line going, so you have to work around it.
there is a definite line between skiers and snowboarder setups though. take the rainbow for example. horrible lip for skiers, its not hittable. its fine for boarders though.
