Im going to compete in my first competition pretty soon. Im pretty new to Freeskiing but I have basic spins + Grabs down and rails pretty descent. What is a simple/easy run that will still be impressive?

Tip 1. Be able to hit ALL features.
Tip 2. Local comps are all about style so have steez
Tip 3. After bang the fuck out of every trick
Tip 4. Spin both ways judges love that shit
Tip 5. Ski course as much as possible to get comfortable

if its slopestyle just keep it simple and clean and do one of your best tricks on the jumps without flailing, try looking good on the rails and dont slide off early. comps are fun so dont get pissed on your placement

Don't stress. Stress fucks with you. The more relaxed you are the more things will go your way. And have fun, that's the most important part.
