this was my first year skiing and I feel I had a descent year. gots 3's with a couple grabs. 5's. two-sevs on and out with switch ups(but couldnt pretzel) and was starting to get handdrag 3's.. also experienced the mountain for the first time and I hit a 30 footer(I was scared as fuck)

keep in mind I live in Manitoba and ski into a valley where a run takes 30 seconds, so the mountain was a great experience and definitely going atleast twice next season

Cork 5 first try. I was skiing alone, I pictured me doing it while day dreaming in class the day before, was extremely nervous every time I hit the jump, even though I waited a while to try. I thought about it in my head constantly, pictured and felt how I do it on a tramp, go to the inrun, did the hand/ arm motion, turned on the gopro, and knew I had to try it. Most rewarding thing ever. My heart was still pounding when I got off the chair.

I also tried a lincoln off a mini jump last weekend, sent it, landed on my face. Kinda scurred to try again haha.

Oh yea, after reading through this thread, I learned kfeds (on boxes woop woop I know lame) but I was stoked. Need to get it on rails next year.

I need to land a 7. I have landed one, but last year I blew out my knee on one so I was kinda hesitant this year, I went for 3 and I went too slow on 2 (hesitance remember), but I can get them next year. Gotta one up my torn ACL.

Jumps: learned how to spin switch, got all 540s on lock down, got switch 7s with grabs.

Rails: I kfed'd and britanyed every feature we set up at my home hill, and got All 8 down on our handrail. Got my 270 pretzel 270, and cab 270 pretzel 270s on lock.

I had a great season, got in over 150 days, in minnesota.
