I'm from a real small local mt and every time I go somewhere bigger I get to see way better skiers both all mt and park then I do at my mountain.

So I was just wondering.. what's an "average" trick for your local park? Ours would be
"OMFG HE DIDN'T EAT SHIT ON THE KNUCKLE!!!!"

Average kids: Probably a 5 and some basic switch ups

The crew: Cork 7s and rail combos I don't know the names of.

Theres 4 skiers i know who can go inverted at Alpine, about 5 that can grab a 5 (my category) and the best things i have ever seen on rails are 270 on pretzel 2 out wiv a switchup in the middle. SE michigan has a few good riders, but most people blow, average is probly a solid caseing or roll over.

Well Sugarbush has a wide range. One kid threw a dub, some kids are throwing rodeo and cork 7/9's, and then there are the up to 5 normal spinners. On rails, we got some good competition, kfeds and 2 pretz 2's. Not too crazy, but thats still pretty good.

going over rail jumps.

the average trick for actual freestyle boarders and skiers are a straight air or 360. the best trick ive ever seen was rodeo 7 and lincon off a tube.

The people claiming dubs are totally bs'in. I am sure at most mountains the most common trick to see is a 3. Probably penciled and what not but 3's and basic backflips are most common probably. If you can grab or do flips or do anything bigger than a 7 you're in the top crowd at timberline.

this, the kid who was claiming everyone at tline has kfeds and rodeos and corks needs to actually learn how many people can do those

If by granite peak you mean the skiers that are a part of the "midwest's best"? All of them came to tyrol for a day this year and i didn't see anything special from them, maybe they just weren't throwing down at all. Whatever it was, I wasn't impressed

no i'm not talking about Midwest Best, although, one of th skiers is really good, Matt P'ng, he's doing switch blunt 10's, dub fronts, and blunt 9's. only 3 of the kids are on Midwest Best, all others are just riding independantly.

few kids at chestnuts can go inverted. Rails are preety snowboarder oriented so most skiers are sketched out to learn on them. 95% of the time though, if a skier slides a whole rail. All gaper hell breaks loose

If you can hit anything other than a box, slide sideways, or can spin more than 180, you're basically the best at thunder ridge
