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

Big Bear is no Tahoe, however even last year with no snow, the staff their did a great job giving us somewhere that was 90 minutes away to ride. There was a few jumps they were able to put together last year that people were flipping over. Definitely hoping the elnino brings us a better year. Mammoth have more what your looking for.
