I usually ski the park alone and I honestly do still enjoy it but I want a crew. How do you meet people to ski with when you don't know anyone on the mountain?

Introduce yourself share some knowledge and ask if they wanna lap. However if they are mobbin you might just wanna ask if you can mob with them.

Chairlift is always a pretty easy place to meet people

There's this really neat website called newschoolers.com where you can talk to and potentially meet other freestyle skiers.

But in all seriousness, just don't be a dick and talk to people in the drop in or on the lift. Ask them about their skis, or traveling circus, or pizza.

Start rolling with someone and lapping with them. Compliment a trick or two and ask them to show you. Also put NS stickers all over your body. Great way to meet people!

Had this problem last year. All you gotta do is just go to the park and be social. try and talk to people who are on the same level as you learning the same tricks. Complimenting gear helps too.

OP do you know the answer? And do most of our younger members? If not then no shame. Do we need to re-educate the masses about how to meet NSers on the mountain?

Just follow people around until they get creeped out. Then say hi and leave.
