Progress? Get a lot of pow days? Sick park features? How's the snowpack?

I feel as though I am progressing at a decent rate so I would say pretty good, also a ton of snow where I am from.

It's alright not very many new tricks but just enjoying the new snow and set up that my park has. Tomorrow hopefully my season is going to become amazing because I'm heading to Bozeman for a week.

not that good. ive barely progressed and have gotten nearly as many days in as i had liked. im also back at school which isnt close to my home mountain where i have my pass so i have to pay to ski every time i go, which means im only gonna have a couple days left probably. but its still skiing, so i guess im enjoying myself

the 8 days i got in were awesome and i finally got over my fear of blind tricks on down rails. however, i haven't hit a jump and it doesn't look like i'll be able to since my knee is being a tard and still starts hurting even though i've taken a month and a half off

Not really any of these! Some new rail tricks, but on the whole my ski hill has been pretty slow on getting a park this year, and whenever they get a dump of snow, the road's blocked which sucks!

Only learned a few new tricks and that's ok...  I'm just trying to get everything super smooth and floaty.

As far as pow days, i've only had  1 pow day in vermont with 14-18" or whatever that storm was.   I'm really hoping we get som killer snow days, but probably unlikely.

pretty good over all, not much progression since i got new skis at the beginning of the season and had to relearn everything and get comfortable on skis that are 20cm longer and 10mm wider underfoot. today was day 21 and I'm stoked on getting some new rail tricks now that the snow is softening up.

Had a breakthrough day at Mt. Snow last weekend.  Everything's gotten a lot cleaner and I started learning some new grabs with my 3s and 5s (fwd and switch).  Thanks for asking.

Wasn't doing much for the last few months. Was having a hard time getting motivation and felt kind of useless. Tonight me and 3 other kids decided to do a 4 way game of Skate on Snow. Learned 270s on 270s off, lip 2s on ,switch 2s on, switch tails over, got veeeery close to a 610 out, ans re-learned 360 swaps

Mines been awesome. I feel like im progressing at a steady rate and i finally got backflips. Only bad thing is that the groomers are lazy as fuck at my home mountain and dont groom the jumps. They havent groomed it since the store so now its just a crusty mess. Hopefully i'll be able to go to mount snow this week.

So far this season I've learned: cork 7s and 5s, flat 3s and 5s, rodeo 5s,  and better grabs with regular 9s. Probably gonna try and get reg 10 and/or sw rodeo next week if there's a good progression jump up.

Learned a lot of new tricks. Have progressed more this year than my past 4 or 5 years freeskiing. Out for the week due to ill-fitting boots, but excited to get back out there after i get new ones fitted today.

Haha same here, after snowboarding for 5 years, coming back to skiing was rough.

But moving to a big mountain has helped so much, been learning basic park stuff ad skiing pow whenever I can. I've been touring a lot more with my roommates (split boarders) and its been amazing

Not at all actually.... The people I ski with are doing flips and 4 outs while im just with doing my own thing... Who even cares? As long as i'm having fun, don't really feel the need to hit park EVERY run anyway... Why you gotta be such a fuck kid?
