With out a doubt, I have the dedication and passion about skiing it takes to stomp out the more difficult tricks, but I don't quite live in the best place in the world to do so. Living in a small ski town in CT, I only have a few months to learn and perfect my tricks, so I was just looking for some affordable tips on how to practice during the summer.

^ meow pussycat.

go skating, golfing, fishing, fishing, cliff jumping, chase some tail at a summer concert. Stay active outdoors and you'll do fine.

Southington's Americsn Gymnastics has Open Gyms on occasion, just check the schedule. Also go to the gym so you develop better control of yourself which will help your style. There's also people around town with summer setups, you dont go to SHS do you?

I think he lives in Middlefield, but those are great suggestions living in Southington myself. I would go to this place called SkiWard in MA, a small dryslope or maybe Whaleback if you're feeling the drive.

I have a similar issue even way up in NH. Im in the middle of building myself a back yard jib setup. Try one of those that should do the trick.

There's a decent amount of cliffjumping spots in CT. That's a good way to train for next year

Longboarding and Mountain Biking are sick sports to do when its warm, they both give a lot of adrenaline and are really fun and easy to get to. Stay active and count down the days.
