My goal this year is to improve in freeriding but I will only have access to ski areas. But what is the basic equipment I need for this? Obviously beside skis? Of course in addition to the skis, helmet etc...
 
Equipment? Since you are staying in bounds, you dont "need" any extra equipment than normal skiing (skis, boots, poles, gloves, helmet, etc) unless the resort has hiking terrain or terrain that requires a beacon (Example- Bridger Bowl requires a beacon to ride the lift that accesses a lot of the freeride terrain) or if you sign up for a IFSA 1* event (which I would highly recommend- great way to make friends) you need a back protector.

The only equipment I would encourage you to get is some solid friends to ride with- people who will push you to get better and hype you up to send that straightline or cliff

Yo Thanks for your Answer. Sounds good. Especially because I don't have to spend any money.

Back protector

Mouth guard

Beacon

Would be the three extra things, but really just get with homies, get hucking and skiing fast
