Stick to what you know and are confident doing, don't go trying new stuff.

i like the tunes idea.....

"One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One love)
So shall it be in the end (One heart)
Alright, "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
"Let's get together and feel all right."
One more thing"

ide be good to go then

Don't get intimidated. Go there to do what you want to do.  If you're nervous, visualise what you want to do for the run and just stomp it like you do when out of the competition.  Good Luck hope you od well.

ive never entered a slope comp but i knw that rail jams are ill, ive been in a couple and they're the best fun. you get mad pumped cause the vibe is so relaxed and i like the pressure cause it forces me to try new trick and with four red bulls in ya makes it easier ;) but just have fun and goodluck man

honestly, have fun and just make a personal goal of skiing your best, not nessesarily winning. Cause its ur first comp, lets face it u prbly wont win, so just make sure u ski your best so theres no doubt in your mind that you couldve done anything differently. and if your best is better than everyone elses best....you win....oh and winner buys for everyone.

If you're not first you're last. Send it!

Joking of course, just have fun and don't put any pressure on yourself.

what kind of comp is it. I did my first comp two weeks ago. It was like jon's North  american open last year. Except no finals. Just get judged on a bunch of runs. I just treated my runs like park runs and got 5th. was pushing myself or doing my best cause of nerves, but remember people are usually open to the fact that everyone has there own level and they will progress just we start somewhere. I am a lousy skier but had fun. Don't think about the Comp or any prizes. Have fun then get serious if competing is your thing

Dude, everyone feels a liitle nervous before comps, its normal, but just remember its all about fun. If your not having fun you shouldn't be doing it. If you relax and have fun with it you will do great!

Good luck Mang!
