Not so much learning new tricks, but getting ten times sicker at setting up my own jumps/jibs at home

today I turned a hot water tank into an options feature: Hit it slow and its a tranny, hit it fast and its an insane kicker

Learned lots- I'm not a park skier, so don't make fun. C-boxes both ways, switch off and straight, urban-style(side-on) down boxes, and a long purple tube thing that's the closest I've gotten to rails so far.

Front surface swaps ON RAILS, and K-feds incorporating said surface swap. I love opening day. But it was a month ago at my home mountain.

Did my first 360 on a kicker I made back in the woods. Tried a frontflip off a little drop into pow, just landed on my back. Haha, all the snow made it fun to try stupid stuff though.

same, I never really learn anything new on opening day, I usually just get used to being on skis on a hill again and start with normal warm up tricks and by then end of the day I start throwing the tricks I learned at the end of the year last year (as far as rails are concerned - I never throw any jump tricks for the first few days, just straight airs, grabs, some 1s, 3s, and 5s - no inverts off jumps (knuckle front flips still go down cause it's one of my favorite things to do) and mostly spins with no grabs. I gotta get my jump legs back, ya know.

But, I did manage to get a front 6 off today - which I've only done like once or twice before but off a cannon like rail - today I did it off a flat-bar that was on the end of a flat so there was a pretty good drop off. Pretty good day all in all.
