Mine was when I did my first flip, which was a backflip off of a side hit I was so pumped.

First flip, misty 5. Didn't tell my amigos that I would throw it, sent it and stomped it. Everyone was super stoked.

i don't know why but i wasn't that stoked after my first backflip, probably because i was bout two years late doing it. For me, it was my first seven or my first k fed

Hard to say. Probably a powder day when me and my buddy hiked up into the woods and got into some spots where it hasnt been touched all year. Skied some terrain that i probably would have thought twice about with ease. Really pushed my limits in my skiing ability and had a fantastic day

Was down in Vail for a few days because why the fuck not. They got about 7 inches 2 nights ago, so a lot of expired pow was to be found. Long story short, Without telling my friends, I bombed down a hill and sent the fucking biggest, longest, best Cossack ever conceived of a 25 foot cliff. Best part was, the six person chair runs over the top of it, so you hear everyone cheering you on. I had never hit cliffs before, mainly because I live in Minnesota. I was hyped beyond imagination.

Still remember this one turn in particular probably one of the best feeling turns iv ever done. Basically the cats pushed up a bunch of show in a V shape and there was a natural gap onto the V shape which was raised about 4 ft off the ground. I hit the gap around 10 ft and slashed in deep pow the best face shot to date. Felt so good it was literally a perfect turn.

Was that called the Hollywood cliffs? Don't remember if thats a six chair but it snowed a few days ago when I was there and saw a bunch of people getting ready to send it. Chair went passed before I saw but it might have been you.

first 360 off a bigger kicker, my first backflip, bigger backflips, and mobbing with the gang. also kody kirkland taught me this super easy way to spin bigger jumps. i call it the L set and has helped me and the bros progress. so learning the L set really got me hyped as well.

Can you explain what that is, I've been trying to throw spins off big jumps but I can't seem to stay on axis the whole way.

What helped me with my axis was shin pressure and pop on takeoff. Plus practice.

The rail jam sucked. It was set up very poorly. Everyone treated it like a joke. I only did two tricks the entire night, and the rodeo was just a crowd pleaser so they gave me third haha

I had a few great moments, last weekend I was havin a rough day and wast gettin tricks and all my friends that I don't ski with that often were throwing down then I was going for a front swap on a waterfall rail then it turned into a sick k fed and then I started throwing more tricks, and landing my first 7 on a rainy day wearing trash bags to stay dry. At killington really early season getting the dfd my first day doing rails. First time hitting a decent size jump like maybe 35-40 feet sending a huge three over it to overshooting to flat then being so hyped and sending a huge Cossack over the last one like 50 feet and a lot more moments but I already wrote quite a bit

When a friend I was teaching park to landed his first boardslide. He got so stoked so I got stoked.

I find that my stokeness (is that a word? XD) comes from seeing other people, specifically my friends, being happy and thrilled that they just accomplished something new.

first 3 for sure. I really had no idea how to set a rotation and was trying on stupid small jumps and so i gave up and then one of my first weekends back i decided id just go for it on a 20 foot table and actually landed first try. far from stomped but i was so stoked. over 100 failed attempts the previous season , easily.

And one time at COC i hit the oakley O box going accidentally really fast and kind of did a tail tap 180 and stomped and then got props from a bunch of pros which made 15 year old me feel really cool.

and going huge to a fresh pow landing is probably the best feeling in the world.

For me, it was my first back swap. Never thought i could be so stoked on skis until the first time i earned my turns. Bluebird day, foot of fresh pow, me and a friend hiked up a mountain bike trail and sent all the wooden bike features. ony took one run but i havent even came close to that much stoke since

I get so stoked so regularly I don't can't even count or compare all the stoked moments. Saturday and Sunday I had some magical moments out on ZigZag glacier. I remember a few weeks ago I hit big Zig and after the run I was raving about wind blown like a crazy man in the lower Palmer terminal. I might have been more stoked then but there is no way to measure it.

Idk what pow is since the deepest I've skied is 3 inches here in St. Louis Missouri, but the day it did I was insanely excited, got some good switch carves and sent cutouts way too big since the landings felt like heaven since it's usually a downhill ice rink with chairlifts, shred with bros all day, got something to eat in lodge. About an hour til I leave I just say yo should I do a backflip to a bud and I went out, 1st hit off a really shitty jump that was about a 25 foot step down that played a lot bigger than it looked, stomped a backflip and shit my pants and made a little cream pie also. 1st season skiing though so I'm sure when I eventually go out west My stoke level will be somewhere in the upper atmosphere as you can tell by how much time I wasted typing this whole thing

First 360 at the end of last season. Landed first try surprisingly, and stoke was unreal.
Also, my first cork 7s and backflips this season were super hype.
Also first K-feds this season were decently hyped.
