I've been skiing for 11 years now, but I haven't really done any jumps, any rails, just regular skiing and some pow. I really felt I needed a change this season so I bought a pair of twin tips to start skiing in the park. I'm going on a 7 day ski holiday on friday... I'd like to get the most out of it so I could use some advice how to start out. I've read some old posts so I know I should start with straight jumps than grabs than spins. I'm thinking that I should not do any jumps or rails on my first day just getting familiar with my new skis... practice switch riding, flat spins etc.. than a day of straight jumps, than a day of straight jumps with grabs.. than a day of practicing 180s and 360s. I'll have access to a small mini-park with low rails/boxes and small kicers, and a regular park with all the fancy stuff that I see in all NS edits :)
I'd be really happy to hear any advice.
Thanks in advance!

Insane

Now, I don't know about you, but I don't think the primary purpose of your life, of my life and the entirety of the human race's is just to blindingly consume to support a failing economy and a faulty system. Forever and ever until we run out of every resource and fall to the result to blowing each other up to ensure our own survival. I don't think we're supposed to sit by either while we continue to use a long outdated system that produces war, poverty, collusion, corruption, ruins our environment and threatens every aspect of our health and does nothing but divide and segregate us. I don't think how much military equipment we are selling to other countries, how many hydrocarbons we're burning, how much money is being printed and exchanged, is a good measure of how healthy our society is but I do think I can speak for everyone when I say, we're sick of this shit.
