I've skied for like 10 years, but just started getting into the park the end of last season. Now im super stoked, getting my first pair of twin tips and want to progress as much as possible. I'm just wondering what were some of the best tricks you could do your first year in the park?

basic tricks like 3's and 5's .  just progress as much as you can. there is no limit to how good you can get the first year

i got  3's and 180's off small jumps  and sliding all kinds of boxes
its just about how much you ski or how dedicated you are to get up to the hill
if you ski heaps you will progress wayyy further

fo sho man, look at cartman, he could easily have cleared 30. i still havent had a legit first year of park, kinda sad ehh? every year i have enough cash to hit parks like 4-5 times at most, but hey at i would rather ski were i am instead of having a park and be on the east coast.

umm, 3s and slide most rails and boxes. i didnt have twin tips my first year in park, so i was kinda limited, and i wasnt in it anywhere near as much as i am now. i loved 180ing side booters too, but always reverted right away cause i was afraid my skis would catch.

This is my first year and I've been skiing for 8 days in total and I can:

270 On, 270 Off, 1,3,5, 1 Hand drag, Sex Change, No Grabs.

Guess I'm a fast learner.

I kinda hit lots of rails/boxes in my first year so I could: 270 on (left) and off both ways, Switch up both ways, switch on, tail and nosepress, broken, and i did a couple of pretzels but not consistent at all.
In terms of jumps I could 3 and 5 most of the time, Hand drag 1s and 3s, zero and thats about it. Oh and I did like 2 backflips. I guess that was more like a season and a half though.
But I really didn't ski much park last season and when I did it was rails. I prefer to jump in to soft snow.. and ski powder and just jib around the mountain. I only hit the park to go hit rails for like an hour.
I think i'm getting old.

1s, 3s slides on most rails and I got a 270 on
but it wasn't really the tricks that mattered I was just having a good time so I didn't spend all the time in the park I was mostly just shredding around the rest of the mountain and would pop by the park if it was close I think kids on here get a bit obsessive with park there's a whole mountain to shred on why spend 95% of your time there?
