Staying good during summer

slackline

Trampoline but that would only help with jumps and you don't need a hill for a backyard set up because you usually just build a drop in and it's not hard at all just look up some YouTube videos or something. Me and my friend built one over the summer but it was very poorly planned

If you have like a play set or something you can take out the slide and make a drop from there, doesn't have to be that good to work, it ain't too hard. I have sketchy plywood and it works fine

Summer setup:

Tramp

Slackline

Skate

Mountain bike (You don't progress with skiing, just fun as fuck)

Speed some goat seamen on your skis so you can ski on grass.

You can build a summer setup in a flat yard

This is so true

summer setup, tramp, if you don't have either skate or mountain bike, whatever can keep you satisfied until next season!

Mountain biking is certainly one of the best ways to spend your summer if you aren't lucky enough to spend it on snow. But I'd have to disagree about it not helping your progression on yee old slippery sticks. Mountain biking is a great way to exercise and strengthen your legs, which has direct implications for helping you ski more confidently faster and longer. In addition, the sensory awareness and muscle control that you develop from charging lines on your bike, IMO, translates directly over to skiing.

In response to OP,
Slacklining is awesome for working on balance and strengthening your core.
Tramping obviously helps with air awareness and leg strength.
Back Yard setups have the most direct impact on your skiing game, and I can personally attest to how useful they are as a training tool. The task of building one yourself might seems a little daunting but there is alot of useful information on this website that might help put things into perspective and get the ball rolling.

Hike some sand dunes and ern yer terns

Building a summer setup ia great, but it takes a lot of commitment to go through with it, I don't know if I just overcomplicated mine, but it took me a good 30 hours to get the whole thing and a rail built.

It all depends on where you live and how much money you are willing to put into it. If you live on the ice coast like me take it down to Virginia at the Snowflex for a camp. If you either live on the West Coast or are willing to put in a shit ton of money go to Windells, Camp Of Champions, or Woodward. Also for the Ice coast Ski Ward in Shrewsbury, Ma has a setup of 6 rails and an airbag on this stuff that isn't snowflex but you can ski on, that's where I go. Also there's the classic backyard setup but my yard isn't big enough which is why I go to Ski Ward.

Just enjoy your life and quit worrying about "staying good".
