Get Full Tilts(Apparently they're the best), Line Afterbangs for skis. 5XL Tall-T, Jibberish everything. Only do straight airs for your first year.

Certainly for the ladies.

Also learn backflips, bitches LOVE backflips. They go together like cereal and milk.

If it's your first year park, just grab some cheap park skis, and boots, this year was my first year, I had elan's and some nordica race boots, Still turned out pretty good I would say, learned a lot of tricks (7's, backflips 2 on, switchup, pretz 2 out. Start getting comfortable straight airing like 10-15ft jumps, then work on 180's, gradually work your way up, it will come naturally and you will just know what to try next.

Well get durable clothing, lightweight skis like Armada or something but most of the lightweight skis aren't durable but there are some tho! Umm start doing tricks on tramp if you have one, that helps on your air awarness and the tricks are in your mucle memory so it will be alot more easy.
And don't do pencil spins, carve a bit and do 180 or smooth 360 with safety grab instead of tornado 7 pencil style.
And about clothing and equiptment get used stuff and If you don't grow anymore then you should invest into durable stuff and don't give a fuck about the price unless it's a price worth giving a fuck.
And get boots that fit and feel good! Don't get boots that are even little bit to big or small. And I recommend to get park boots instead of downhill help's alot really.

1.) always have a tall t under all outerwear. all of mine just pass my knees so they're bigger than everything i wear. for example if ur wearing 5xl jiberish and u wanna go open jacket steeze, u need a tall t preferably black or white.

2.) very small poles...pretty self explanatory...let "H" be the height of the person, "T" the height of the tall t. and "P" is the pole height...P=H-T  me, (32=70-38) so my poles are 32 inches

3.) dont get racing boots. full tilts are the best

4.) wear ur goggles under ur helmet

5.) no gaper gap

6.) if u wear big stuff, then dont be bad at skiing. wait until ur good at park or just skiing in general until u wear big stuff. i see this a lot and its pretty funny

This! So many kids got into skiing at my home mountain because they want to be "like Tom Wallisch from off the espn xgames", and they can't even ski. Please learn to ski well

Gapers can be spotted easily. Carry your skis over your shoulder tips forward.

rule one learn how to pop, learn the basic of air tricks properly, the pop then be patient to get off the lip before you do the trick also your first three you need to keep your head up vision level to the horizon and spin with your hips and shoulder not your arms and skis

learn how to actually ski. this may sound dumb but race or something. I'm on a race team, and it makes just conventional skiing so much more fun, and in the park. Plus, it gives you something to look forward to... "real" skiing, the park. race on the weekdays, have fun on the weekends.
