i used to race when i was younger, and i see it with the positive aspect that racing made me a good skier, so i can ski good, on the slopes, BC and then i moved to the park cause the obvious reason that it was hell more fun!

i raced for NYSEF for three good years. then for the 03/04 season i wanted to take a years break because racing sucks up all time to just shred the mountain with your friends.. i like being free so much, i took another year off. then for 05/06 i was prepared to race again, but in october my eye cought the attention of the warrenmiller movie higherground.. so i said to my dad "1 more year without racing..." he agreed and i havent raced seince...
i am truly thankfull for what it taught me though.. i wouldnt be the skier that i am today without it. and dont get me wrong, i still LOVE carving steep groomers. Mountain Run to be specific.

Well at least you can race because you definitely aren't passing English. I'm assuming you have letters in another sport because unless you've been a sophomore for 3 years, 4 letters in 2 years in 1 sport is impossible. And you're claiming a tad bit.

I raced. Then got into freestyle because it's like a 5 hour wait between runs at most large meets. And in the Mid west there isn't relay anything to do besides park when waiting.

i raced with a dope crew of kids for 6 years... its was real intense, it was fun but i just wasnt that ammused with it, it got repetitive and nerve racking with all the hoovering soccer parents wanting there kid to be the best. racing was fullfilled of shredding gnar continuesly, but there always came the time to go out and freeski, and thats all about having fun with variety. we would usually eat lunch quick and hit up the park asap.
at travel races we would hit up the parks at like bristol, labrador, greek peak, peek n' peek, holimont, windham, and holiday valley. the parks 3 years ago havent seemed to change in NY, bristol mountain standing out with the illest park, and holiday valley also coming a long way with there park.

I raced for 5 years. At my hill red mtn some of the best skiers raced. Dane Tudor was the best racer in my club and won alot of FIS races. It made me a way better skier and it makes you not afraid at all of going fast. During warm up runs before training gates all the racers would bomb down the hill in about 60 seconds getting yelled at by the patrol alot for "skiing out of control".
