the only time i go in the park is on the way back to the lift, and the biggest tricks i throw are cosacks, 180's, and straight slides on boxes.

skiing steeps, dropping

I ride big mtn. I guess. but I also ride park, my favorite thing to do is do tricks off cliffs. So I would say I go about 70% big mtn. and 30% park. Its a nice balance because park gets boring for me after too long.

I like to learn new tricks at Summit Central then take them to Crystal. It's really fun.

OP you're from Mobb Steep right?

I love skiing big mountain but I also thoroughly enjoy skiing park. It all depends on the conditions.

Yeh man... Im Pre Qualified for the Freeskiing world tour, but I've competed at TWSSF superpipe for the last two years and am competing slopestyle tomorrow. Only Skied park 2 weeks this season. Too much pow and mountains that I've climbed. Probably more beer too...

I would just say Im a freeskier, no reason to put a label on it as a Big Mt skier, or park skier only.

haha for me it's the other way around. I try new shit off of small cliffs into soft snow, then try them in the park when the snow is shitty ice. Park jumps at my mountain are way higher consequence features than the cliffs on a decent pow day.

if by big mounain you mean anything backcountry/pow then i'm in. unfortunately we dont get too many bluebird days up here in WA so a solid big mountain line is rare. not to mention, the terrain here is definately lacking when it comes to high alpine.

"not real skiing" you sound like one of those asshole racer kids. People like you bring bad vibes to the mountain... It's not cool to disrespect something just because you don't do it/don't like it 0/10

Although I ski "Big mountain", it doesn't mean I think park skiing is considered "not actual skiing".

I enjoy all kinds of skiing. big mountain is certainly fun, and scary. i prefer "real" mountains over the park, that is for sure.

I'm def more big mountain than park but I think this happens to everyone as ya get older. I still lap park though if the crowd/mountain is right for it. As far as park not being real skiing, that's a total farce. On the east coast the park is often times the craziest terrain on the mountain. This is especially true for the smaller resorts. Skiing is skiing homie.
