I have never hit a box or rail or jib in my life. I have always skied big mountain, but this year i want to focus in on my jibbing skills. I will be skiing at a resort with a park that has only rails and jibs. How long do you guys think before i will be able to be "good" at rails/jibs?

i dont know about you but skiing for me has never been on a set time line. But I started doin rail last january and i dont want be that guy but i feel hella good about them. Its just about commiting to a trick and repition, and not getting discouraged cause i ate so much shit trying rails this last year

the thing is... dont set realistic goals - set goals that would be pushing your limits like crazy... thats how you get better in 1 season. so what if you dont get every trick you set out to do? you got most of em.

Honestly if you can legit switch up, like mid way on the rail you could easily learn both kfed and ray fed same day. Just gotta get used to using your edges right so u can do the trick properly at the right time. So if you want advice, just try and slide as many rails as possible, get comfortable on them then just try new tricks.
