I'm sorry man, but training? C'mon, this isn't the Olympics. Just ski as much as you can with friends (preferably older/better than you) and have them push you. That way, it's fun and you naturally progress.

Trust me, if you train you will get burnt out.

It's going to be a blast. Super laid back. Come and ski with a bunch of folks from Salomon. I'm STOKED to ski Seven Springs because I've never ski in PA before. As for Loon, that place is ALWAYS fun.

See you all there!

Hahaha, I wouldn't get too excited for Springs. Pennsylvania doesn't hold anything stokeworthy as far as terrain, but we make the best out of what we have to work with. Honestly, I think that gives people on the east a much better mindset than a lot of skiers out west. We don't take anything for granted and can have fun on anything. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions about PA.

oh of course the park will be sick for the jib academy and everyone will be there when it's going on, i'm just saying it's nice to be able to do some skiing skiing sometimes too. there is skiing outside of the park too. not so much at seven springs, but everyone should be able to ski all mountain as well as park to be a well-rounded skier.

I know what happened there, The grey guys brings his friends skiing all the time, he wanted to make a crew, he said, hey let all buy LDC, they followed thinking that they would be good like mr grey.  so now, poor mr grey who is actually decent gets shoveled because of his retarded friends in the audio backpacks,   they have a sick camera to,

if you are in the LDC crew at loon tell me were you got your camera, how much, and if it is as amazing as it looks

I think I'm gonna go to the one at 7 springs. I'd rather go to Loon cause they'll prolly have better jumps but I'm pretty limited when it comes to traveling.

sorry for my poor wording, i meant exactly what you summed up.

i wasnt trying to imply that i would be doing serious training i just meant that i would be skiing a lot and trying new shit, thats all.
