Between "The Draw" and the lower run under lift 6 (Cornice Express) at Kirkwood, I have never enjoyed such "natural half pipes".

Any favorites elsewhere.

I'm not a "parks and pipes guy", but try to have as much fun as I can.

Come to think, Kelly's Toll road at Vail's Blue Sky Basin is a bit of a pipe.

Gordon’s Gully—Snowbasin
Dick’s Ditch—Jackson
Cannis Lupis—Park City

Though not quite rising to the level of a half pipe, middle River Run at Sun Valley is delightfully concave along with Canyon and Lower Olympic.

There's one st Big Sky skier's right of a groomer in the main area. Forget the groomers name.
There's a couple at Snowmass.
Dicks Ditch at Jackson is pretty cool though. Might be the longest.
Abasin has one at the top Skier's right of Lenawee face. Quite half pipeish. People fly in it, so you half to let it clear.

Humbug at Arapahoe Basin.

Humbug! People also regularly crash in it so definitely take a peek first. Love that run. Wish it was longer.

I think part of Big Rock Park is half-pipe-ish too.

And there's the Blowhole next to Blackcomb Glacier. Depending on how it forms with the wind each season it can be more or less half-pipe-ish. When I looked down into it (didn't ski it) it certainly looked like a very steep half pipe.

And if the ridge on the right really builds :

Crystal Mt, WA has a couple of them. A couple in the Sunnyside section of Green Valley, and a 1/4 pipe in the Huckleberry area by Snorting Elk.

Found a couple back in the Bowls of Sun Valley. A cool little one in a gulley below the Bowl at Pomerelle, ID too.

They are everywhere if you look for them,That one in Blackcomb is a beast.

Mr K is the groomer and the natural half pipe is "Harbor's Half Pipe"

Yes, though skier's left from Mr. K for access. Or skier's right off Lower Morningstar for most of the run. (And formerly known as "Natural Half Pipe").
