keep doing what youre doing! keep your weight forward and your shins pressed against the tongues of your boots like youre about to tackle someone. looks like you're progressing really well dude. just keep trying stuff and ask specific questions when they come up. try a 3 into that soft landing!

Personally i find powder skiing more free. Choose what you like doing the most and keep going at it. Don’t let people put you down just cause you’re starting simple

That's what I love about skiing, there's so many different styles and ways to rip the mountain. Do whatever you feel like!

How do you upload without gifs, my wifi is pretty trash and uploading to youtube or Vimeo takes hours, took 12 hours for a 3 min video

Nice! Sick work man, park shit is super fun and a great thing to do on days where the pow skiing isn't so good.

One big thing I can see you should work on is your pop. Imagine there is a bamboo laying flat across the lip, and you need to jump over it. You can get a lazy pop later for style... but when you're first starting jumping, having a strong pop on takeoff is what is going to stop you from leaning backwards and waving your arms.
