The crossover from skiing to skating doesn’t always translate that well in for some l from what I’ve seen but most people I know who skated first have turned out to be solid skiers. Khai was a great skater when he was a kid and is one of the best rail skiers in the game nowadays.

Landing on a pair of blades is 1000x harder than a pair of skis. There is no landing backseat you just eat it. So it might help with landing properly off rails.

This, bolts or die. I wouldn't recommend them for rails they won't help much at all probably would end up hurting you're style.
Airing out of vert is very fun, feels great until you smash your face. And you will smash your face.

tbf cal started blading long after he started skiing. But your fundamental spinning and rail sliding skills will 100% carry over from skiing into blading and you'll probably be able to pick up shit like frontside+backside grind, 3, fakie 3, 2 out of grinds, etc. on your first day or two.

Not sure how much actual inline skating like at a skate park will help with skiing. However, using them at a facility such as Woodward on their indoor jumps to foam pits will definitely translate. It's a nice middle step between learning something on a trampoline and bringing it to snow if you have one in your area.

Has inlining affected you park skiing negatively in any way like making you develop weird habits on rails or something

naw i've been park skiing for 14+ years so the rail skiing habits are already there. some people i know that inlined before they park ski have weird/cool styles. like always going into royale when sliding a box

Blading doesn't really transfer other than general balance/strength. The grind positions in blading are so different from skiing that skiing muscle memory can really mess with them. But grinding on skates is super fun, there is an insane variety of tricks you can learn compared to skiing so you never get bored as long as you keep trying new stuff.

That said there are a couple of pro bladers that ski (way less than they blade) like Chris Haffey and Ryan Parker and skiing looks like it comes pretty easy to them

Skiers that are good bladers / started blading before skiing:

Karseter
Zahner
Young Snow
Cal Carson

All incredibly tech rail skiers in different ways, but I think spending ur summers grinding rails surely has an effect on your skiing even if its not exactly the same
