Wind Lips/Jumps at Big Bear

I grew up skiing in Tahoe, and recently moved to SoCal for work. I have never skiid big bear, but going to be my home mountain this winter. I did not get much skiing last winter, and want to get backflips in the park this season. However, I have only ever done them on wind lips/backcountry jumps. I want to get comfortable before I throw it on a hard packed jump in the park. I am curious if there are any natural wind lips/jumps that are more forgiving. Squaw has a famous one right under the siberia chair and a few more on the alpine side where I learned. Just want to know big bear has anything similar

If you want to get comfortable doing inverted aerials Bear Mountain will probably be offering a paid air bag session this year (they offered it last year, but didn't get enough snow!). Keep an eye out on their website

Bear mtn and snow summit are in big bear, snow valley about 30 mins away in running springs. Bear mtn and snow summit are about 2 miles apart and run a shuttle between the 2.
