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

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 (:

I started hitting jumps and boxes again... feels weird af and i was legitimately so terrified

I grew some balls though and started hitting things 90 again and learning how to pop high again!

And first ski to hand connection ever happened over one of our medium jumps the other day!! :)))

But i will leave you with a funny video of me eating shit off a cliff when my arm got stuck in a treehttps://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/863346/IMG-6454-MOVhttps://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/863346/IMG-6454-MOVhttps://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/863346/IMG-6454-MOV.... (ps i stomped it to the right the very first time !!)

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


Does embed work with gfycat? test https://gfycat.com/OddDisastrousFairyfly

Got this rad shot today:


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.

I guess embed isn't working for some reason even though it's an NS link. Here's the raw link: https://www.newschoolers.com/photos/view/865867/Grabbing-into-some-April-Pow

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
