its kinda nice to have some beats going loud enough to hear them, and not having to worry about other people trying to talk to you/not hearing them. and you dont have to wait after every hit to re-group.

but i would prefer to ski with a group of people instead of solo.

I haven't skied without music in a long time, but that sounds like a pretty good idea for this weekend.

I love to ski alone as long as i have music. Skiing with friends is fun but when your by yourself it can be fun just to cruise around

it sucks i only ski with one other person because he's the only other one that does park from my school / can keep up with my other wise .

i love going out in the morning though before the slopes are anihilated and just taking some nice relaxing runs with some tunes .

I like it, it is really peaceful, and I don't ever have to wait.

It also fits with how much I end up hiking, because I like doing tricks well, and if I didn't get it to my standards, I don't want to wait until the next lift ride to do it right.

im on a freestyle team and this year my ankle has put my level down alot, so when my coach has given me stuff to work on I prefer skiing alone then with other people on the team, but thats cuz they are assholes sometimes.

for the most part i like skiing with people, but sometimes its nice for the morning

ive skied alone in the past, and its cool when im not in the park. I can rip at my own pace, pick my own lines, go wherever i want, eat lunch whenever, etc. its all pretty good. However i do prefer riding in the park with friends, i feel like i go bigger and do more stuff with friends.

I ski alone just about every time I go up just because I usually go up during the week when everyone's either at school or work. I could totally use some company but skiing alone is way better than not skiing at all.

not learning but practicing. i learn much much better when i ride with people who are alot better than me, when i see them throwing down i step up and wanna throw the same thing. once ive got it in my mind, i ride alone to get the trick on lock.

i ski alone once in awhile, but yesterday i was out skiing 2 in half feet of pow was just hopping cliffs all day. so this one cliff i came off i went way to big, and ended up hitting a tree 2 feet in front of my landing. i was super stuck and couldnt move, luckly i was with my friends, so they came and got my out of my bindings, and out of the treewell. from know on i am never skiing backcountry alone.
