Just getting into the park and absolutely loving it.  I assume most of the people on here are also stoked about the park and improving as skiers.   I want to know what your goals are for this season and what you hope to throw down.  Just curious of how you are all pushing yourself and eachother to improve.

Personally, I plan on landing  3's in the big line and my first 5 as well as making all other aspects more stylish with various grabs and more control.

Glad to see people are excited about pushing themselves. I'm going to try the 3 in the large line at Keystone tomorrow so I'll let you know how it goes. Really don't think I'll have an issue its more balls then technique at this point.

I already landed 3 of my goals this year. Those goals being 3's on bigger jumps aswell as 270 off of rails and 270's on to box's.

Now i want to work on 3's with grabs, a 5, 5 grab( if i get good enough at them), switch 3, switch ups, BS and FS 270's off of rails and boxes, 270 on rails and lastly switch onto boxes!! i cant seem to get it for some reason.

Im pretty confident that i can get each and every one of those goals if i apply my self.

bump...

Just wanted to update you that last week landed first attempt at a 3 in the big line at Vail... I know its not nearly as big as Key or Brecks bigger lines but I was totally pumped.  Its such a different feeling from cranking them around on smaller kickers. The adrenaline from sacking up and just going for it is like nothing on earth.  I know a 3 isn't that big of a deal to many on this forum but I'm sure most of you know the feeling of sticking something you were afraid of trying.
