Who will admit to being a bad skier?

Sure we can all throw some tricks... but who will admit that they are out there for fun and probably lacking in the skills. I am.

ME! It's my favorite thing on this earth though. I die a little inside if I miss a day on the slopes.

Fun for me is learning new tricks and getting the old ones on lock, or then just fooling around and doing stupid shit, searching for new ways to hit features.
i admit my bag of tricks isnt that big but i can do my 3s and 5s and 7s with style, and with 5-10 different grabs, as some of my friends only do mutes or tails on their cork 9s

Me. my best tricks are 360 japan grabs off of 20 footers, sketch 5s and 270 onto boxes.
I've been skiing my whole life and consider myself a good skier but im pretty new to park. i wish i was introduced to park skiing earlier in my life but whatever. skiing is shitloads of fun and thats all that matters.

I'm pretty weak on jumps.. 5s and sw 3s are my limit.. I do ok on jibs though, I have the basics down and some more 'creative' stuff with presses and some blade grinds.

I'm more of a freeride skier though, or I would be if it would do some fucking snowing here in europe.

I'm extremely bad/slow at getting new tricks dialed in. I mean, my learning curve is just way to slow compared to most ppl, but the shit that i know is smooth.

I can do a good bit of stuff on rails and I have a few flips and spins on jumps, but I think I would rather shred moguls than park. I started skiing in NC this year and there are no moguls :(

sry for dub post to answer OP. No im not very good, however "good" very relative for example compared to 90% of the weekend warriors who just ski down the hill or hit a few box's. but compared to the the best crew at my mountain im not very good at all.
Point is, everyone should realize their is hoards of people both better and worse then themselves.
And no one likes a cocky ass whole

I suck at park, can do 3s and thats about it. Only started this year though and learnt 3s in one day so im pretty happy. Normal skiing i've spent the past 12 years of my life shredding hard so i would say im one of the best out of people i have skied with.

Its not cocky if you have negative and positive.

Ive been skiing since I could walk since I grew up in Alaska, so Im a good skier, but I suck at park, mostly because im a big pussy, and dont have the balls to potentially nail my face off metal rails and what not. Not bad at kickers and jumps though, learned 3's, 5's, and 7's my first year trying out the park

im not a park skier, I can make it through and hit most features, but don't expect to see me throwing anything over a 3 or 5 with a shitty safety grab

i blow in the park. i don't know why, probably because i don't get in it often enough, but i'm crazy inconsistent. on a good day this season i was throwing fives, then next time i went out i could back get around a flaily 3. and rails scare me more than jumps for some reason, barely even get out on boxes. i can kill glades, steeps, drops, just about anything outside the park, but when i hit the park i turn into noobo magnifico.

As its been mentioned its kinda relative, I live in england and get to ski two weeks a year at most, so put me relative to england and ide say im very good, however, relative to you guys that grow up skiing and is part of normal life if you like, ide imagine im not even close, regular 540 being my best trick, but I love to ski an go whenever I can and push myself allways, but when you go twice a year you spend the first couple days just getting back up to speed

i dont do any whilry birds in the park.. you know.. cork three here a switch 5 there maybe some strait air....   i keep out of peoples way and a ski safe as i can in the park...   i dont poach drops when there are a lot of people... if some one tries to poach my drop .. its fucking on.,.   i will not deavialte.. i have pushed a kid away once and he ate it hard.  just saying.. i dont get crazy on rails or boxs..  and in the pipe... i just like boosting as much air as possable..   but out side the park..   fuck i consider my self a very strong and able skier.... i will do most any thing on a givin pitch. and if the conditions are right... ive been known to drop a 20 footer cliff..

its about having fun.. and to me i dont want to huck so fucking hard that i cannot ski when i am 30. shit ive been skiing for 20 years.. my knees pop all day long.   im not going to get sponserd i wear a burton jacket. im not a "trend whore" i just fucking love to ski.!

Im an okay park skier, this being only my 2nd year.

But Im a really good all around skier, I raced Easterns for about 6 years so Im good at gates and just ripping all mountain

As for powder and cliffs and such, I live in New York...
