yo i'm sure everyone is done with skiing now, for the most part atleast, so NS how was your season? claim your shit, post footage, or don't, no need to back it up cuz its NS right.

i'm just gonna say i had a sick season. i got to ski like 3 decent powder days on real powder skis (crAzy shit for maine) and i got some sick pics (in my profile). i learned some cool new tricks like 450 off and i got a few pretzel variations. i definately got better on rails, smoother atleast, and i got a ton of skiing in. as for jumps i learned to spin up to 7, and pulled a switch 5 out of my ass... and best of all, i got to ski with a ton of old friends, meet a bunch of new ones, and torch tree like it was my job. so thats about it for me, what about you NS?

i sucked last year, i could only 3 and do grabs and this year was my first year of actually trying in the park.  Now i can 540, 270 on (boxes), pretzel 270 off (boxes), and im working on a mute 3 that i should get down at windells and hopefully land a 7 because i can 5 easy.  Pretty progressive year id say

I managed more than 100 days of sun, powder, slush, ice crust, mank, and pure absolute death snow. I hit rails, jumps, 40ft cliffs, silly tree grabbers, moon-drops, and lots of backflips. I got to ski some nice VW sized moguls at Alpental towards the end too. Starting in a month or so, I'll be skiing almost everyday in the MT backcountry.

I couldn't ask for a better season, or to be more blessed to be able to be healthy and fortunate enough to get to ski as much as I have and do. I was blessed to spend the time in the company of the most amazing people on the planet who ski, and feel super lucky to call them friends. I can't thank you all for all the laughs, pushing me, props, and plain old fun times had on the snow.

We must always be conscious that skiing is an immense privilege, and we are supremely lucky to be able to grow, progress,suffer, and live life through this lifestyle that we all share.

I progressed to another level this season, I'm not gonna lie. I was a complete pussy last year, but this year I learned switch flips (with the price of a couple concussions), corks, and rodeos. I started grabbing my corks at the very end of the season, and I threw my first front off a cliff. I competed in my first park competition which was fun. Got to ski with some amazing kids. I learned how to slide down rails consistently and learned 270s on. In terms of the more "creative" tricks, I learned hand drags, butter 3's, and jibbed the mountain. Fun stuff, I cannot wait for next season.

Skied alot of park due to another crappy snow season. Then I met alyeska powder and fell in love with anything BC or powder. Then end of season got 3 consecutive 6inch pow weekends which was super fun. Really stoked for next season.

I went from only being able to do 180's to being able to stomp left and right 7's. I got out to BC for 2 weeks and slayed some pow for the first time which was an amazing experience. Hopefully after this coming school year I'll be able to get out to work and ski in BC for a year before University.
