I'm on the east coast and what do you know, we still don't have snow. What's the easiest way to get good during summer for skiing besides practicing on the trampoline? K+ for good helpful answers.

As much hate as it gets, aggressive skating undoubtedly improves your rail game and over all balance.

If you can't build a summer jib setup, then just skateboard when you can't ski. It'll help with balance on rails a lot. I guess you could always rollerblade, a friend of mine is really good at it, and his first season skiing he landed kfeds, 450 on, backflip and front flip, but I know not everybody is keen on getting into rollerblading.

Slacklining helps a ton for balance. You can find them on some sites for $50-$60, you just need something to loop either end around.

Definatley Slack Lining and agressive skateing for me. I also have been biking (Dirt Jumping) and it is fun as hell!
