Just trying to get inspired and set a goal for this season.  What's the most you've ever increased your skiing abilities over the course of one winter?  For example, you started the season knowing how to throw 3's and ended with cork 7's.

I don't even know how to answer this question.... hahaha

I don't really do tricks with names, so uh....

I started the season pretty decent I guess. And then had some little mid-season crisis and turned into a gypsy, but kept skiing the same.

And then all of a sudden, BOOM SUMMER, and I was skiing with style and trying to do things creatively and shit.

So I would call that improvement.

Started out with sketchy 3s in December (my 3s are still sketchy) learned flat 3s in January, broke my arm in Febraury, got rodeos down well in April then cork 7s in May. I'd say I progressedpretty well, I'm still terrible at rails though

Wow sounds like you aren't very good.  Better take up a different sport.

And from what it sounds like, I should be AT LEAST capable of doing a 7 (probably cork 7) by the end of this season since I can land sketchy 3's now.

For me it depends where I get to ski, my hills biggest jump this year was like 10 feet and I spent half of my days this season there. Towards the end of the season I got to make alot more trips to the mountains (I live in central Alberta which = flat) which was where I learned most of the tricks I learned this season. It really helps having a good place to ski.

hahaha, when most people claim a trick they can be like "YEEE I did a cork 9 blunt!" or "Shit son, today I stomped the shit out of 2 on, pretzel swap 4 out."

I usually end up trying to explain like "uhhh... you know that rail at the top of the park? yeah well i gapped over the side of it and uhhh, like grabeed and then landed on this and then did something cool off of it" but it takes me like minutes to describe in what I feel is good enough detail

Dont' really have one season that stood out as improving the most but definitely have had sessions i can pinpoint. Febuary Sesh this year went in being able to slide a box and came out doing Switch 2's onto rails.

I started two seasons ago with my brand new twin tips. I could not grind a rail, I would hit boxes straight on, and I couldn't do anything past a 3. Now I can grind with style, and pull inverts and 3's,5's,7's,9's, with ease.

my first season in the park was the season before the one that just passed. i learned how to slide a box for the first time, then broke my collarbone the next time i was on snow cause i didn't have my skis and i was too cheap to rent skis so i took a friends snowboard. so this season i picked up how to slide a box again. finished the season with sliding boxes, rails, straight on or urban. got like a bunch of grabs with 1's and 3's and learned 270's off on the last day of my season. Really, t his was my year to get comfortable doing everything in the park.
