I hope to get better at all aspects of skiing.

Rails - get 450 out both ways and 270 on more consistent.

Jumps - get spins up to 1080, switch spins more than 360 and get consistent grabs on big spins eliminating my stupid pencil spin, also more grabs.

Pow & other - does 5 inches of fresh counts as powder? If yes, then I'll def get some epic poleplants. Also some fast-tight turns on a race course would be nice.

I would be satisfied, If I get done atleast half of those. Actually I would be satisfied if I get to ski sometime soon.

what do you think is easiest to start with btw? I thought a backflip first then take it to a rodeo?

Backflip was pretty easy for me, the jump does all the work for you. But rodeos and mistys are alien technology to me, I really don't understand how to pull one off.

**insert extremely overstated skiing goals that make me seem super pro**



ha. but honestly my only real goal for skiing this year is to do as much of it as possible while remaining alive and intact. should be manageable.

dub cork 10.  I've landed 12 but never tried 10.  It used to mess with my head, but I see it now.  Also more unnatty rail tricks and rightside corks, I'm laughably bad at spinning rightside off axis.

shut your mouth. potential for false claims aside, if you can do any cork spins, especially dubs, and yet you consider your right side cork skills "laughable," you're officially a dick.

all i want to do is ski more and see what happens, probably go upside down again, hopefully find some gnarly lines when i get out west.

Yikes... sorry man, but that's the truth.  I can't say I'm proud of my inability to spin well rightside.  I only said that because if someone watched me spin corked to the left, then to the right, they would probably laugh.

First year of skiing, but I have some pretty ambitious rail goals:

-K-fed
-Back/Front surface swap K-Feds
-4's out both ways

Jumps: Backy, Frontflip, and i'll be satisfied with anything more than a 3

General: get in a competition, and feel like I was competitive with the other riders, no matter what place I get.

Again this is my first year, but I've boarded in the park for about 5 years, and have found I'm really comfortable with my summer setup rails (already getting switchups and 2's out)

for jumps these are far reaching goals since i can only 5, underflip, and switch 1, no grabs on anything

misty 7
cork 7
flat 5
10
unnatural 5
switch 5
grabs on everything

for rails i want to be able to do all 8

I hope to get 450's out. and also i wasnt to get some bigger switch spins. I also want to learn every flip (single rotation). Mistys, rodieos, corks, flatspins, and things along thoes lines. Then if i can master thoes, at the very end of the year i hope to learn either a double back or a switch front/back

I suck so these goals aren't much. But I'd like to land a backflip or frontflip, get 270's off more consistently, get 270 ons, and spin past 540.

Jumps - rodeo 5, rodeo 7, cork 7 on lock, misty 7, get most tricks with sick ass grabs

Pow and such - living on the east coast is a bummer, so hopefully we'll get 1 sorta pow day...
