What part of your skiing do you feel is closest to the level of the movies?

I'm just wondering what part of your skiing is equal, or near, to the level of the big guys. Every once in a while when watching a movie I'm like: Hey! I could do that! Which isn't very often...at all, but it's sort of nice to know I might pull it of. Do you guys have similar experiences?
I want you to list the category your think your closest to, and furthest away from. Either what level your on now, or what level you'll be at the very best you could possibly get.

My bet is most people will choose their nearest category as rails and Big Mtn. as furthest away.

Several categories to choose from:
- Big Mountain
- Ultra-deep pow
- BC Freestyle
- Pipe
- Rails and boxes
- Jumps
- Urban



Let's see!

Big Mountain and Pow. Im sure i'm not but when i'm getting scared or excited over a tight chute or something real steep i always think I wonder how pros would feel on top of this.

Big Mountain, I can do about a 100th of the size of a mountain...but I can handle most of that stuff.

right after they land those pow jumps i could totally do that(not the jump or landing but the riding away afterwards part) though more seriously in the trees on a pow day when you see them just cruzing not dropping any pillows cause i freeze up over any decent size drop but just shredding the deep. the farthest away would be anything associated with the park. i will only go in there on a powday cause it usually the last place to have any left. yesterday well getting some pow in there i tried to hit a straight box cause they look so easy in edits and only got like half way before slip right off onto my side/head it hurt like a bitch, but i gained new respect for park rats they make that shit look easy

I don't feel close to any level of that skiing because i'm not a pro. I don't get free trips to france to ski because it snowed. If i did i'm sure that's what i'd feel closest too. Or traveling the world competing in the park.

But i feel closest to the FEELING i get from doing each of those things
