Err...pretty shit!

Got much better at back country but due to injury could only ski 2 weeks this season, and still can't hit jumps.

Lost most of my confidence park wise too. Pretty fed up!

First year skiing EVER!, didnt want my parents to spoil me so i ended up paying for all my gear this year (skis, clothing etc.).  After I got the basics down, learned 3's, 1's, basic grabs, flatbar rails, boxes and shifties.  I guess thats not bad for my first season ever, my buddies that ski/board said that for first year progression thats pretty good, :). 

Definitly want to raise the bar next year and learn handdrags, improve on rails and perhaps spins w/ grabs? anyways, super good season and im already looking forward to the next, but for now im enjoying the warm weather :)

i got much much better this year. i learned a ton. last year i was a complete gaper. i saw a kid do a 3 off a  tiny roller and thought it was amazing. i would do a 180 off of a cat track and thought that was impressive. hopefully i really step it up next year. im probably gonna go crazy and throw stuff i wouldnt normally. i just have this huge urge to get better. i l.o.v.e. skiing
