I was just wondering what other people hit in their season in the park.

I only got a chance to ski the park 3 days this season - it's my first year on twins, 2nd year skiing...I mainly worked on landing a 180 and straight airs/crosses with grabs, safety and mutes. My main goal was just to get comfortable on larger jumps, which is going well. I just attempted a 3 and landed, painfully, at 270...as soon as I get over the wuss stage, hopefully things start moving faster.

My first season I learned pencil 7 off of tiny jumps, attempted misty 5, did a few 270's out and 3'd some bigger (30-40ish feet) jumps.

I got my twins about same time last year, almost no skiing on them though.
Only a few days park this year since EC season blew especially in MA, but I got 2 weeks off in march I plan to make good use of no lift lines.
I got 270 off shotgun, flats, basically boxes only one I did last year was like a 6ft, 3 off small jump, pretty sketchy 3 in pipe

spinning 3's over tiny jumps, attempted some 2 outs, just primarily straight rails, one flat down box, and straight aired a 45 which scared the shit out of me.

The park was scary my first season. I didnt even have twins when I learned 3's down at Mt Bachelor, so learning to spin was all or nothing.

'The park was scary my first season. I didnt even have twins when I learned 3's down at Mt Bachelor, so learning to spin was all or nothing.'
doing that now, norm 2 out is pretty scary when i land switch, smallest bump is death.

Last year I startd on the small flat bar rails in the blue park, the fun box, and hit the medium sixe tables (15-20 ft?) as my biggest. Then I tore up me knee landing bad on one and got fucked for the season. Started riding again 1 month ago, got my first set of twins a week ago, learning to ride switch and hitting the fun box sideways as opposed to just skiing over it. Still gotta watch my knee so no big tables for me.

that is basically an oxymoron. how do you jib backcountry except like tree stumps and rocks.

well, this my first season where I've really focused on learning a few park skills. I started skiing 2 and finally decided to enter the park. I can do flat rails and boxes, and land small jumps without hurting myself.( I would always land the wrong way and get hurt) :) I've been practicing skiing switch on uncrowded greens and blues as well. I hope to try spins this weekend. 180's mostly, 360 is a stretch

I should add that I only get 10-15 days a season due to living in NJ and I don't normally spend all day in a park, though I'd like to spend more time in it. Skiing with parents is bad in that they don't care much for hanging out in the park all day (not that I'd want to anyway__ my mom stood in the landing of a jump someone was I about to hit while I, embarrassed, yelled at her to get off it. she yelled at me a told me she could go anywhere on the mt she wants. Skiing for over 30 yrs and has no concept of the park. oh well, I guess that's life and parents in general.)

This is my first year skiing consistently. I actually only bought my first pair of skis this season. I've been skiing plenty of times before, but only on school/church/family trips. This year, I've gone around 25 times so far, and in the park I can do flat boxes, and straight airs over jumps. I can 180 off flat, but I haven't really done it off a jump yet. And I'm getting pretty decent at skiing switch, but I'm still not fully used to it. I don't really ski park that much though, because my friends don't usually want to. However, when I go up alone (once or twice a month), I tend to spend a lot of time in the park.

Oh, and I can do safteys and sketchy mutes. Still working on a 3 though. Hopefully by the end of the year. I should have flat rails down by the end of the year too. I can do pvc rails in my yard, but I haven't had a chance to try one at the hill.

This is my first season skiing and I have 1s and 3s forwards and switch, and 5s. Kinked rails here in there, 270 ons and off. But nothing set in stone.... like some of the tricks are still sketchy.
All times are Eastern (-5)
