so my resort is opening tomorrow and we just got 25” of fresh snow on the east coast believe it or not. more like 17” at my house and apparently 40” down south in VT but my main point here is 25” is a lot so maybe i will throw some big (bigger) tricks, drop some suggestions down below with tips...

i can only really 180° but i think i could get 3 around if i really tried

Trip Cork 1620 with a Bow & Arrow grab


But seriously, those are perfect conditions to work on learning new tricks. 3s are pretty simple, just make sure you aren't leaning too far forward or back when you land. You want to be in a centered stance and not be flailing around.

Honestly just send a backie because you might not have the chance to try it in a bunch of pow again.

The referenced post has been removed.


Exactly, if you have a cloud landing just fuckin start growling and throw a 3, toss a flip, try any trick you know in the back of your head you can prob do but never quite ballsed up to try

just pop, flex your core, and fully commit. The knowledge that the landing is soft and you don't have to worry about a slightly off (or even way off) landing frees you up mentally to really go 100% on whatever you're trying
