Replying to First Ski Day Expieriences of 2014-2015!
So today was my first day back skiing. I drove with friends a couple hours from our house to go skiing. We got to the mountain, got our shit on (I missed it so much) and we got on the lift. The park was pretty rad for an early season park. Had a down flat, flat down, tube, box and a smallish kicker with a 10 foot gap. I started my first hit of the season on the flat down and was quite happy with myself when I found that I could still do the whole thing. I ended up trying 27s off the box but a divet in the snow on the landing prevented me from landing one. The day went on and I landed a few 3s and tried some 5s. Finally last run came and I decided I'd better go big and try something I'd never tried before. Misty 5. I figured that I can do them on the tramp and I can lincoln on skis so why not. The fatal error I made was forgetting to rewax my skis before this season so I couldn't get enough speed off the kicker. I ended up commiting in the end and I made it all the way around but unfortunately landed straight to my right shoulder blade. My shoulder nailed the knuckle so I was wayyy too back seat and had nowhere near enough speed. Everybody at the park today was so good and I saw some really cool stuff out there today. It was one hell of a first day. So what about you guys? How's your first day's of this season been? What have you tried this season?
