I recently got into park and see guys throwing 10s and 12s and wonder how long does it take to get that good?

Depends on how many ski camps you go to

tbh most park skiers will never spin more than like a 5 unless you're young and dedicated to being good

I disagree. Imo I think anybody with half a set of balls can hit a tramp in the summer for a couple months and learn cork 7’s as long as they have proper technique. Most ppls problem in the park is that they arent good enough at actual skiing itself, or they have a bad understanding of the trick.

true, may have worded that wrong. Just seems like the majority of people I've been seeing in the park lately are not as experienced, although it is still early in the season on the east coast

You gotta accept Steve Stepp as your saviour and buy his book, you'll have cork in no time.

It takes as long as you make it take. You could go rip a 14 off a 50ft jump tomorrow.
