I'd like to get 450s out clean fs and bs and possibly a pretzel 630 out. K Feds for sure too. Spins up to 720 with grabs and any spin more than a 7. Cork 720s for sure along with laying out my backies. I want to try a double too. What would be the best one? I can comfortably super front decent jumps an figured a dub front would be my best chance

Don't really have any I know I don't suck I am far more worried about college basketball and not tilting off too much when the games are going badly during that one losing day a week I always have.

I think I'll fret over my golf game more than my skiing and I only plan on driving over to Dayton NV or another course once a week to play.


As for skiing I just hope I don't sleep too late on the powder days. Or have my skis fall off in powder more than once in a day. And obviously avoid serious injury.

I'll ski down anything and hit any kicker nothing more to prove. Add in the fact that last 10 years I have only got out less than 5 days a year on average so have equaled my average days on the mountain already this season and I'd say my skiing goals are achieved,,,before Thanksgiving :) .

Oh...the other thing I am really worried about is I am going to buy the new Hitman game either at midnight tonight or sometime tomorrow and get stuck on one of the early ass level and have to go online and cheat my way through with a walk through.

Front swap, 5 on a decent kicker, back 2 out, grabs with spins, butter 5 off a knoll. I'll go for front 4s out and butter 7s if I get all of that.

Yes, I suck. No, I don't give a damn.

My goal is to make progress from last year, my first year skiing park. I'm 25 now so I'm not sure how many good years I'll have left where I can afford to just throw caution to the wind and abuse my body.

By the end of this season I'd like to land 360s, switch 360s, 540s, switch 540s and a backflip as well as cleaner grinding of rails. If I can get that I'd say it's been a successful season.

Same here, 25 and my second season at a resort with an actual park. Want to learn consistent 3s with grabs, either front or back flip if I get my hands on some bc booter. Butters, butters, butters. Stop being a pussy about rails. Get PSIA Level 2 Actually save money to pay for the cert exam and clinics. Not to injure myself. Be proud of my students and my classes at the end of the day while I drink a beer and kick back.

I'm in the exact same boat, generally only get 25-30 days a year unfortunately so it's kinda hard to progress at a steady rate. Ah well.

Stomp a 20 foot cliff

Spin off of a 10 foot cliff

Front flip a cat track

Do a 6 hour tour, or possible overnight tour.

Have more fun than ever!

Man, I used to have goals each season. I never reached them, so now I just go with the mindset of having fun. I really can't do much in the park, but I still always lap the park for fun. If I feel inspired to try something new I'll try it. Otherwise I might go shred some tree skiing.

resist the urge to throw anything more than 3s...but do all 4.

only grab safety or blunt

no reverts. if i land switch, my next trick done is switch, or Im getting on a chair lift

disaster gap and 5050 everything at maximum velocity.

What are the easiest tricks to start with riding switch? Last year was my first year in park and I was a little afraid to hit anything switch. What's the proper way to hit a jump?

Switch 1's are super easy. Have your leading ski a couple inches in front of your back ski, so you can slightly open up your body, and look downhill. Look over your leading shoulder as you approach the jump, and get ready to pop. Once you hit the lip of the jump, pop, then SLIGHTLY turn the direction you spin, initiate your grab, and get ready to land. You barely need to throw your spin for this trick, since your head and upper body and already turned when you take off, and you're only spinning 180 degrees.

Thanks man. I'm gonna give that a shot this year. I think I may need to adjust my ski settings cuz last year I was trying to butter into a switch landing but couldn't quite figure out how to butter. I think the DIN setting is too tight (gotta check the #, not sure what it's at).

ForcilloFront swap, 5 on a decent kicker, back 2 out, grabs with spins, butter 5 off a knoll. I'll go for front 4s out and butter 7s if I get all of that.

Yes, I suck. No, I don't give a damn.


Pretty much the same deal with me man those are the tricks I wanna get done. Once you get those done I'm sure other tricks will become much easier to learn.

Next season:

consistent 7s and switch 5s for jumps. Get grabs on all spins.

consistent urban on rails. Maybe some rail tricks.

Summer goals:

Build summer setup.

backies on tramps, diving boards (take'em to snow if confident)
