So here are the only 2 rails I can do. the one where I didn’t lane it was because of sticky snow and a lack of speed. I do normally land it tho, my problem is Im just too scared to hit taller, and longer rails how did you guys get over your fears?

Flat bars are stinky. Just go fast and get forward and do a tube

Start small and gradually work your way up. I’d recommend hitting a tube next and then eventually working your way to handrails.

Also i would recommend skiing with someone thats alittle better than you, that way you can ask for tips. This dude could also hype you up and keep you motivated to try bigger and longer rails

find people at your hill that are a little better and play games of ski (like pig in basketball but on skis) it actually really helps you gain the confidence to hit bigger stuff
