How do you stay entertained?

-Boosting off rollers and side hits is always classic
-Skiing on one foot comes with many benefits
-Working on form and carving skills
-Obligatory getting drunk/high but I'm not looking for this answer
-Playing the weave game with jerries


What else?

The time of the season you are describing usually coincides with there being some nice big grass patches at our hill.
I love hitting the biggest ones I can find all the way backseat like a pond skim.

Here is what you do:

You need 3 people
A phone
Wireless ear buds

2 people take one ear bud a piece then the other person takes the phone and turns music on. Start skiing and try to keep the ear buds connected to the phone the entire time. First person to disconnect loses.

I like to ski over the pine trees on the side of the trail pretending they're pillows. Killington had some fire pine pillows in November.

Grab a football and throw it back and forth to your friends while going down the hill. Its super fun and the closer you are to the trees the more of a rush you get.

would a modern "fun carvy ski" like the Sakana/Blade/Stranger/Kook Stick also do the trick or should you just go with the hardcore slalom skis

Nothing will give the full experience like an actual race ski. I went all in and got atomic S9s, after skiing magnus and JJ's and similar skis for so long, the edge grip is unreal.

I like to provoke ski patrol or yellow jackets by ducking ropes and getting into chases. It’s fun until they finally stop you
