Replying to Do any of you think park skiing is just not your thing?

I'm going to turn 18 in a few months and I've been trying in vain to get good at park. I've just been busting my ass and all I can muster up is a penciled out 3. I can barely slide a rail.

There's something about man-made jumps and rails that makes me uncomfortable. I ski in the Midwest, but my home hill is Granite Peak so I'm not limited to the park. I'm a really hard-charging all-mountain skier, I can straight air any sized jump, send it off of sketchy natural stuff with solid grabs, ski moguls... but I look like a fool in the park.

My will to get good at park is fading and I don't think it's coming back. It just sucks being this age and not really fitting in with the whole park vibe.

Any of you in a similar situation?
