Girlfriend doesn’t like lapping parks with me

This is my first year skiing with my girlfriend and she seems to hate lapping the parks. She claims “it’s just the same run over and over”. Any advice on how to get her to appreciate the parks?

SharkoJust tell her the truths that you have told us in this thread: that shredding the park is more important to you than her happiness, and that you wish she was different.

I'm not great w relationship advice but this sounds like a terrible fucking idea and also just straight up inaccurate

katrinaSounds like maybe you should just invest your energy into skiing right now.

Hope that tall tee fits ya bud.


Update: we worked things out and are currently lapping the park and doing a normal run in between every 2 park laps... but last run she said instead of the normal run she wanted to keep doing park laps to get her 180’s.. my heart has never been so happy. I’m truly happy guys. I did it

Proud of you kid. And proud of her, she will stomp those 180s in no time.

Get her some booster straps, much cheaper and will definitely help. Unfortunately shin bang is like almost guaranteed when you are first learning certain park tricks.

straight airs are the great equalizer, everyone gets the same great feeling when they push their personal limit with a straight air whether it's 80 feet or the skis barely leave the ground

sounds like you have a great partner, remember to do your part and hit other trails with her. you can always improve there yourself

Don't force her park skiing is more for the boys anyway do whatever gets her stoked, whenever I really wanna push myself I ski alone or with people better then me. Girlfriends are for fun days enjoy the time with her. Unless you got some crazy dynamic like Cody Townsend. Not saying you shouldn't take her through and show her the only trick once in a while though.

Try to find different runs that lead to the park so see gets to see more of the mountain but you still get to ride the park for a little bit.

Accidentally drop your glove riding the chairlift over the park every time. There is a slight chance she might eventually catch on to your schemes though.
