Not sure what other people call them but I am talking about a wall of snow on the edge of the trail that is as tall as the blade that stops the snow from falling off the trail. We use these on trails that have a hard fall line or where there is a large drop off the ski able trail. This stops the snow from going over the edge where we can no longer pull it back. Then come in and blade the snow off the wall and put it back. We only use these where people can not ski like drop offs and thick tree areas. But the new owners don't allow us to use them anymore because they say they are unsafe and stupid. Does any one else use this technique to stop the snow from going over the edge.
