i know that when i was really bad at skiing i wanted to get better, but i didnt know any methods or ways to get better and try new things. so just post some techniques on what you did to get better for the people who are new to skiing and are serious.

this is the worst. this tells you how to become a robot d bag. you get better by deciding what it is you want to do and then doing it. not by making yourself fit into the mold of every other ski monkey.  i agree you need to do moves everywhere and on everything but this sounds like you need to be training everyday 8am to 4pm training just to "get good".  if you ask me if you want to get good ski the mountain, spin the way youre least comfortable with more often, try a new trick or two everytime you go riding, and ski the mountain.

Don't worry about getting good. Just have fun and try new stuff. Riding at better mountains and with kids that are better with you helps you push yourself. Good music helps too. Smoking a bowl never hurts

1. Work/try something new everyday.

2. Dont just huck stuff, but push yourself.

3. When you fall get back up and try agian.

4.Become a good all around skier jumps,rails,boxes,butters,spins,flips etc.

5. Ski with more advanced skiers/snowboarders.

6.Hit as much stuff as you can and change your runs up.

7. Most importantly become determined and have fun!

I would say that you get better AND have more fun if you take everything as a joke. Sing on your way to the jump, smile all the time, and scream something like YEAH! in the air. That makes it less scary ;)

Dont worry as much about getting extremely good, just have fun and try your best, oh and practice! If something doesnt feel right and you really dont think your commited your best bet is probably to wait, a serious fall could take a big part out of your skiing season. But, dont hold yourself back to much.

Build a backyard setup. This year is my first year and in August I couldnt slide a 8 foot box. Ive progresed sooo much from that, mainly due to my backyard setup.
