Okay, so the title basically says it all but Ill elaborate a little bit. I know we all started basically eating shit and getting laughed at while trying to gain the balls( or ovaries) to hit the park. I wanna hear your guys opinions on skiing with people in the park( not the mountain) that are way below the skill level of where you are. Are you guys up to helping out the new park skiers and give tips and pointers and share a good laugh when they eat shit? I know some people just cannot stand skiing with beginners because they hold them back, or because they're never going to get serious into the sport. But what about someone who loves to ski and wants to improve and have a great time. I ask because being a beginner park skier, I'd love to learn from people on the mountain but sometimes out of fear of humiliation, don't ask.

This thread is bringing back memories. I remember my first attempts at sliding a rail; it was at afton and this random dude with rocker skis and dreads was helping me out (looking back, this guy was ahead of the game) but he was teaching me all the basics: weight forward, feet shoulder width, scissor, all the good stuff. The first time I greased that rail, I was hooked and now look back on the day whenever I see someone starting out. Everyone starts somewhere, so what may not seem like a big deal to you may mean the world to the person you're helping out.

As an east coast skier, I basically know 90% of the park skiers at my mountain and I'm friends with almost all of them, regardless of skill level. Ill shred with whoever and I love helping dudes learn anything that I can. Vibes to all the Sunday River skiers out there!

I was with Cam Riley junior again working on his 270 outs! Made sure he learned blind 2 first since he only knows how to go lip on.

I like skiing with beginners because they make me feel like I'm actually good at skiing
