what tricks are people throwing on average in each age group?
For example, ages 11-13/14-16/18-21/21-25/25-30 are normally throwing down _______
What's the norm?

18-21 22-25 are lots of the pros we see in comps like sammy, simon (i think) ect. So they are doing like sw 10, sw14, dub front ect but that is not the "norm" I dont think.
I think it greatly depends on where you ski, Whistler, PC probably have better kids than a small resort due to the fact the parks are better.

there really isnt a norm for age groups, there arent that many freestylers in comparison to normal skiers and you can get 12 year olds throwing sw cork 10s.

well, i'm 18 and I mostly do 3s and 1s and a lot of rails, but I ski more all mountain and trees and stuff than park. one of my brothers is 15 and he does 5s, 3s and tons of rails, and my youngest brother is 12 and he does 9s and 7s, but not rails as much

i think it also depends on who you are skiing with...if you have a bunch of little kids (like 10, 11, 12) watching or skiing with the older, better kids, they like to try bigger and better stuff which raises the bar..

im 14, and i can do 720s cork 5s and 5s and less with ok grabs, and i can do 270s on to some boxes and 270 off any rail or box can switchup on my home rail but ive never tried on mountain rails, also i do these jumps on anywhere from 20 foot tables to 50 ft tables(i tried a 5 tail grab and screwed up my foot over one of these jumps). unfortunately my skis are too short for me though, i have 161 invaders and im 115 pounds and 5 foot 6.

I don't ski a lot of park so I can't really say what people are throwing at my home mountain, but from what I've seen kids my age range (15-17) are throwing 5s and 7s, sometimes cork. There are some people who are throwing bios and d-spins and one kid I ski with who throws switch cork 9s and flat 9s, but he grew up and skis park and ramps during the summer...it all depends on what terrain you ski.

It depends. Some kids slay the pow and some the park. More kids can ski the park than ski the pow...

This question really shouldn't be taken seriously, but I will anyway.
There's no way you can tell. You might get 12 year olds throwing 7's down in Park City, Utah or Breckenridge, Colorado - but come to the PNW and you'll find 12 year olds who an just about throw a 3 but slay the powder/backcountry. Also, with the increasing number of people on twins, who's to judge who is or isn't a freeskier? If by 'on average' you mean the whole skiing population, obviously, the average 'trick' will be seriously low - like a 90 degree spin or something. If, on the otherhand, you mean a freeskier - well, I don't know what makes someone a 'freeskier' or 'gaper'.
