Do you have a training plan, training community, app that you use to progress? Are you sticking to that plan or are you using multiple resources?

Progression?
Never heard of it... I got my bag of tricks and it's not changing.
I know what I like, and like what I know

I spin an extra 180 degrees off of the XL sidehit at the bottom of my local hill every lap I've taken in my life.

Yeah, you have to be able to squat 315 before you can try nosebutters

juss.buss.it.

don't get too crazy with tricks you can't do but numero uno is days on hill - total reps probably counts the most... fun & addiction & obsession too bc if you don't actually love the whole process you'll never want it bad enough.

once you get a good foundation just build on it piece by piece, and chase that feeling!

style over progression. work on what u can already do instead of ticking off tricks.

Don't worry about it. Ski for fun, set trick learning goals for every day. Set seasonal goals and decide how to fulfill them. There's really no formula to learning how to ski park or we'd all be in the Xgames.

Fastest progression is with daddies money and a ski coach that used to be pro

Seasonal goals are huge. It's the difference between "I don't wanna hit rails unnatural" and "I gotta hit this rail unnatural to learn switch 270s". Also a fun thing to brainstorm over the summer.
