with the season in sight, I've found myself intensely day dreaming of what i want to do this year.
What are your goals for the year? wether it be in or out of the park.

I want to get confident on skinny rails, I have a weird complex about being terrified on rounded rails but fine if they're flat, that's what's I want to work on!

lots of injuries have kept me down, and missing a season. my thighs have been weak, so i'll be happy to top out my last years speed, and maybe hit some things this year, get in a fuller season and improve my weakened zones.

Honestly if I can sack up enough to just hit park on skis again, I'll be set for the winter. It's been too long.

But on my board I want to work on spinning backside, dfd rails (they freak me the fuck out), spinning bigger than a 3, and I want to work on inverts too. Trying to find a Craigslist tramp to help out with that one.

I've only began skiing park, so I plan to progress a lot this season! I want to be able to ride on rainbow rails with ease, and try learning how to 270 on/off rails! On jumps, I want to be able to do some 5s and 7s and maybe even a backflip. I'm super stoked for the season to begin haha.

I want to work on spins again off jumps and just get more confident on jumps themselves. And then carry that over to spinning off rails.
I think switch 50-50s on rails are so dirty if you make them look good.
Hippykillers.
Style in general.

Probably a total gaper question, but is there such a think as park tele skiing? I've never heard of it. But that sounds sick as fuck.

Park:

Um, not my forte so doing 180s on slightly bigger jumps, learning a few grabs and re-learn the whole "slide sideways on stationary objects" thing that I used to be able to do :)

Not park: Jump off higher stuff, be more comfortable in steep and/or shitty situations.

I kind of gave up on park for awhile so I'd like to get back into!

I'd also like to find a crew of like minded ladies to shred with this winter!
