yo i'm sure everyone is done with skiing now, for the most part atleast, so NS how was your season? claim your shit, post footage, or don't, no need to back it up cuz its NS right.

i'm just gonna say i had a sick season. i got to ski like 3 decent powder days on real powder skis (crAzy shit for maine) and i got some sick pics (in my profile). i learned some cool new tricks like 450 off and i got a few pretzel variations. i definately got better on rails, smoother atleast, and i got a ton of skiing in. as for jumps i learned to spin up to 7, and pulled a switch 5 out of my ass... and best of all, i got to ski with a ton of old friends, meet a bunch of new ones, and torch tree like it was my job. so thats about it for me, what about you NS?

Switch Double Cork 10's and 12's, w/ Octo and True Nose

I beat Jamie P's cliff jump record, hucked a 317'er

I did that 888 ft rail  that the rollerbladers do on my skis

and broke Dumont's record, 42' outa the QP lip at ski roundtop pa.


VERY successful season i'd say.


Can't wait for next year.

it was my first year in colorado and somewhere where i could ski more than 10 days a year. In the park i went from barely able to do 3 to doing 5s and almost getting a 7 also learned some grabs but never did them spining and 270 on and off. I was more proud that i learned how to ski steeps, deep snow, and difficult lines alot. Also i learned the benefits of earning your turns by hiking.
