yeah... i know, beaten to death topic. Let's hear some fresh answers though. I'm suffering from preseason torture.
Inb4 "ummm skiing".




Cruising back into the liftline after an epic park lap


Turned heads and cheers from the chairlift


Puting a hard trick to your feet for the 1st time


The sound of clicking into bindings

SOO MANY things about skiing that I love:
-Getting up super early with my bro for the road trip (with coffee and a dank b-fast of course)
-The pure anticipation of the trip itself
-Being on the mountain, in the trees, park
-Taking HOT LAPS with my bro
-Learning new tricks
-Not having to worry or think about anything else besides the next run on the chair and not really even thinking at all while actually skiing except how fucking great it is.

My favorite thing about skiing is two fold.
1)  I love a smooth jump line where even if you don't do any tricks, just hitting the jump smoothly and landing in the butter zone of the landing.
2)  The feeling of stomping a rail or trick for the first time.  Even if it's not as smooth as you'd like, just the feeling of adding a new rail/trick to your list is unbeatable!

Getting that feeling after doing a sick butter or a steezy ass trick
And when you listen to dup step and right when you jump or land it drops.. thats the life

the instiboner from performing radical menuvers!

ps. think about railing a chick when you hit a gnarly rail...you will perfect it then.

-landing so smoothly you don't even feel impact

-first run when its empty and you get the fresh, last run when its empty and you get the sunset

when there are a bunch of people hanging out in the park and everybody is throwing down/having a great time. The vibe is unbeatable

i love park, but I really love pow. it also feels great to defer stereotypes and shred huge racer carves under the lift on my center mounted park skis.
