Is there anyone else who feels like they should've done more with their ski season, like learned more stuff or pushed yourself harder?
I wish that I would've done that cause now it feels way to late in the season to catch up...

yes that is what i have been thinking lately. This season we have made no bc jumps, our park blows also, and the our best cliff run has barly been open this year. buuuuuut the year is not over yet.

True dat, the years not over.

But I also blame it on the parks, because without a good one how are you able to push yourself safely right?

Yeah I guess I could've pushed myself a lot harder, but I'd rather just work on the steeze for the tricks I actually know.  Plus, this year is a record snow year at the PNW, so still got plenty of time to get better!

Tahoe is already predicting late may for closing at a lot of the resorts...

which means.. i'm basically moving there for a month or 2 once the semester ends...

I wish I could have pushed myself harder and gotten more days in but I made a stupid move with my vehicles so I never had a ride out. I hope I can rap up the season good though.

i usually progress most at the end of the season and have been having a pretty good season so far of i'm happy - spring skiing is the best to throw down new tricks

Hey, at least you've been skiing.  I destroyed my knee on Christmas, so I basically started my season this week at about 40%.  Going out skiing and not learning anything is infinitely better than having to re-learn how to ski groomers.

I wish i had more than 21 days at this point, and i really wanted to be working more in the park but ever since theres been good snow iv just been all about the back bowls and powder in the west as its my first season out here, but i definitely dont consider that a waist of my time. Hopefully i'll get more work in the park come spring time.

Well, I am really dissapointed because I only have 5 days this year because of my jackass dad and I know I could be learning wayyyyyyyy more if ski more often. Once Spring conditions hit and stay consistent it's gonna be so much better for learning stuff and hopefully I get to go to summer camp.

in the past i've almost always learned new tricks and got better in the last month or so of the season, that's just how it's always worked out... with that said, my knees are now tweaked and my desire to learn new tricks has sort of faded. i'm perfectly content with keeping spins at 7 and under and just learning new grabs and making everything look sick. sort of a new mentality i have with riding park in general, i've always been big on style but i used to get caught up in trying to learn a bunch of new tricks. i'm pretty pumped though, march and early april are going to be the busiest part of my season, can't wait to get into it.
