Newbie park skier here, I'm pretty comfortable with jumps, but am having a hard time with anything related to a rail, tube, box, etc... Any advice on the easiest feature to learn on and how to get past the newbie slippy-slidey phase?

We have a greenhorn park full of tiny features. Sometimes that is the key- if you are scared of switch take offs or spinning on, just start with some features that you are not intimidated by at all

Handrail for sure, they are nice and skinny so you don't get all caught up on them and they are always slick.
You should try skiing on a nicely iced up 2x4 aswell those work really good for beginners. I learnt how to ski on a 2x4 when I was like 5. I'm 14 now and rip in the park, I'm surprised im not sponsoerd but thats only because im underground asf, Gilson already offered me a deal but I didnt wanna work with those faggots.

Boxes -> Fat tubes -> skinnier tubes -> Flat rails -> downtubes -> down rails

watch out for misinformation on this platfrom alot of people don't really know what they are talking about, 2x4s are def the most easy to learn on.

I would be quite interested to see a clip of you skiing an icy 2x4 handrail. Also, just a little grammar tip: you can replace “most easy” with “easiest.” Sounds a lot better to the Gilson guys I know you’re trying to impress
