What/how do you like to ski your first run?

Do you go hard or take a few to get your feet back and burn beers off? I like to go down a groomer that I can do some carving and also cool around with some butters and rollers, and ski switch for a bit.

generally just go a bit easier on the first run. hit all the features i normally do, just straight airs or a simple slide, and check out the bigger hits. throw a few ones in there and ski a bit switch and just pop off everything.

Park days: Cruise down a groomer, find as much tranny as possible, butter everything.

Pow days: Fucking pin er.

This. Just cruise it and work into it as I make my way down the park. Do a bit of switch riding to get everything back to par.

I like a nice, rocky, powdery mix, with a side of partially covered bushes. (run i took this morning)

Bomb one run, carve on the second, carve switch and do butters on the 3d and do some warm up park laps.

every year I start off on the bunny hill, idk why. But it seems like the good warmup for the season.

First run is usually pow, and ride it hard. If its good, I'll do it all day, if not I end up foolin around on groomers, doing butters, finding trannys and such
