I've never really skied a lot of halfpipe considering my home mountian doesn't have one. But I'm up at blue for the weekend which does. Any tips to start doing so tricks in it? K++

They're scary as balls. Pop like you mean it, try tricks near the end of the pipe to get confidence. Popping 360s are pretty fun if you're decent at riding switch.

Don't pop too hard off the wall though or you will end up face planting to the bottom.

The sharper your edges, the better for pipe, unfortunetly, it is shittier for rails.
