Heading up to the slopes for a week before I have to return back home.

So my question is how can I progress quickly within that time?

My all-mtn skiing is pretty strong and I'm looking to improve my park technique.Heading to Jap, so I'll probs only hit the park in the arvo/night.

I can 3, and hit most rails comfortably but beyond that I struggle with more technical tricks

Any tips NS? I know it's not optimal to only have a week to progress but I appreciate any tips/pieces of advice.

don't worry about rails. shred the japow, build some booters, have fun! Booters and pow will always be more fun than rails

Id advise you to simply ask someone in the park who is better. Ask for a tip on a specific trick and usually they are super happy to help. This is how i learned rails. I just asked a guy doing pretty good on the rails and he pretty much gave me a private lesson for an hour.

so, I would make a reasonable goal first. like coming out switch of a rail or box. and after you get more confident with the rail maybe try a front side 270's or a back side. And for kickers, I would start to tuck when you 360, so then you start getting comfortable tucking, and then start trying grabs, try a safety first and mabye move to japans. and if you dont want to do grabs you can just go for 540's. But if i were in japan i would try and shred pow. Just have fun!!

Dude for sure just enjoy all of that powdaa!!! you can build some little hits if you want but honestly wouldn't even waste my time with that, natural hits are way sweeter anyways :p and how often do people get to ski in the Ja Pow... Just get absolutely filled just stuffed on snow from so many face shots!!!
