if you ski big mountain as a young buck you are wasting your life away. real men slam hard in the park until they can literally only ski pow.

I’m 30 so idk if I’m an old-head but I just like going fast and boosting off terrain; cliffs, cornices, side hits etc. Haven’t skied park seriously in like 10 years tbh. Everyone’s got their own thing, man.

DollaStoreHumpera good park skier will make an infinitely better big mountain skier than a big mountain skier will make a park skier. look at the transition of literally every park skier ever going to big mountain and doing it way better than any "strictly big mountain skier". you can learn proper ski technique way faster than you can learn shit in the park, kid.


Umm no. They don't translate. Being able to do both makes a good skier. Keep practicing.
