It sucks I can only ski every weekend if I'm lucky. I've managed to get decent at skiing Switch 7s, Mute 7s, Rodeo 5s, and cork 5s are a few of my best tricks. I have the drive and desire to go pro but I know I can't do that living 3 hours from skiing, Your thoughts? What should I do?

Claim pretty hard that helps.....

Ahaha jokes aside man, that sucks, and I'm in the same boat as you. This winter is bunk for this to, but in town we have a toboggan hill that gets light up at night. Usually build a mini kicker there, just to mess around on. Keeps you sharp for your days at the hill, and gives you the opportunity to ski daily, but because this winter is so dry, that hasn't happened. If you have some snow, there is likley to be a sloped area around town so it's doable, either that or make yourself a little rail setup, there are plenty of threads on building backyard setups. Good luck with your quest bro.

You will have to move closer to skiing. If you really want to go pro, make it happen!

I live 3 hours fron skiing now and almost never go. When I lived 20mins from skiing I went everyday...

I live three hours away from my hill and where I live there never is ever any snow in the winter and I only can get up around 7 times a year, I'm lucky if I can go two weekends in a row.

I am 2 hours away from any hill. And I only get out at the most 7 times a year as well. I wish I could get out more because I know I would progress so much but every time I learn something I lose it because I dont ski for another three weeks :(

If you really want to go pro then find a way. Look into something like windells academy or other skiing related schools.
