Your Mindset on Skiing

So I was wondering what kind of mindset people have on skiing. So what do you ski for, the improvement of your style? To hit crazier and more insane features/lines? Just the progression, being at the forfront of the next big trick trend(pretzels, spinning onto urban rails)? Many pros have different mind sets on skiing. Take for instance Jon Ollson who strives for perfection. Then there is Mike Wilson who will huck anything huge for a small price. And then of course there are BC skiers who ski cuz they love the feeling of deep powder face shots.....dont we all.

nothing feels better than sticking the trick, line, or a chairlift ride with gapers.

i just do it for fun, i really dont try to progress i just fuck around all the time thats how i have the most fun. hit small stupid stuff, do spread eagles, 180s 3 60s off random bumps. i just ride and do shit at random. i really dont take it too serious. im not gonna go pro or anythign so why bother trying to do all these crazy ass tricks and risk hurting myself for no reason but to look cool because it really doesnt interest me. its all about hanging out with friends and family and just relaxin and havin a good time.

there is no feeling like that of skiing.
it taps into something deep in my brain, and just makes me fucking happy.

the end.

its cool getting better at park and shit, cuz that stuff is fun too, but just being on my skis, anywhere and for any amount of time is fucking amazing.

Going fast, adrenaline rush, hitting big stuff, rippin big lines. This year I'm trying to bring my game into the park more than before. Skiing is the greatest thing, I live to ski. I've done so many other things for less time than I've skied and I've been skiing since I was 4 and every year I love it more and more.

Skiing gets better every year, except thoselittle lip jumps at 8 years old. I will never top that again.





Greatest feeling ever was finally having enough moeny to ski again after a 4 year hiatus. The seconed i got those boots on, it felt strange. As soon as i snapped in i threw on a huge smile and bombed away.
