YO! We did this a couple years back and it's something that always goes down in the Minnesota/ Wisconsin regionals and I wanted to bring it back to LG!
Post about your day of skiing! Whether it be a new trick you learned, you hit that cliff you've been eyeing, or anything else you're hyped on. Let this be a place to spread the stoke!!
Erikaaanice! Working on those tomorrow... I got switch lip on the other week so hopefully just switch on will be a bit easier lolol
have you tried these on flat rails? cause tubes are annoying to stay on... I learned a lot of stuff first on the tubes/pipes and once I hit a flat rail I was all "woah shits easy AF to stay on"
We actually have 0 flat bars. Everything is tubes or handrails haha so I guess good for learning cause once there is a flat bar then it'll be easy? Hahaha

Oh shit yet that's kinda helpful in the long run!! Flat rails will be a piece of cake
Dude this is awesome. You started out this year as the girl who was scared for rails and doing backies and now you're killing it!! Super stoked for you :")
My goal today is to get blind 2s and 2s off the rail *fingers crossed* I'm skiing alone so I gotta be my own hype crew hahaha
Got down blind 2s off a rail last night - poached the local t-bar hill from 11-2am and got them downn haha
who needs to study for class anyway when you can ski
Landed a grab + 180 on the smallest jump ever (hey you take what you can get), first grab + spin I've ever gotten! https://gfycat.com/ChubbyYellowCalf it's after the snowboarder in this gif.
Skied with the boyfriend yesterday and it was super fucking fun. I hit the last jump (probably about 20-25 feet) for the first time and it's definitely the largest jump I've ever hit. Parks done for the year but I'm super hyped on getting 2s out back and I feel a lot more confident in my skiing abilities (:

Love you rail game progression, it's awesome to see! Also congrats on ballsing up and hitting the jump! i gotta give kudos to your bf though, absolutely loved how stoked he is for you! Glad you didn't edit it with a song or i wouldn't have noticed haha
Hit the largest drop I've done all season, on my spring park skis too (rossi slat), since I wasn't expecting to find pow (albeit super dense wet pow) 2 days after the last storm: https://gfycat.com/OddDisastrousFairyfly
My grabs in pow are pretty shit, I have a hell of a time popping and bringing my legs up enough, popping just seems to throw my skis deeper into the snow. Couple inches last night and a surprise sunny day today. Something like the 4th sunny ski day I've had this season. I'm starting to suffer from seasonal affective disorder with how few sunny days there have been in Washington.
It's getting late into the season, I expect some of you are throwing down some new tricks by now. Pretty stoked because I got zero spins on small jumps and switch 1's finally bumped up to the medium jumps yesterday.
Im having a good season so far. Going from getting used to new skis and having never slid a box I now can slide one 90 and the rectangle tube thing. Im gonna try this 6 inch wide flat rail this weekend. I also got 180s off a little jump. I got safety grab a few times a couple weeks ago....and then I got the flu. So i hope to make more progress now that my body is done being stupid
