I'd consider myself an expert skier but pretty beginner when it comes to park. I can 5 and hit rails but I find it super hard to improve my freestyle game by just sking once a week. I'd love to spend the time learning new tricks on a tramp or on other off-snow facilities but I dont have access to anyting. Is there anything I coud do at home to lean and practice tricks before I try them on snow?
 
Summer ski setup for sure. It can be a little costly but you can build a good one for less than 300 dollars. It helps improve rail skills immensely. It really helps you get the muscle memory for swaps, spins on, spins off, and any combos you can think of. Also, you get to ski in the summer and honestly I have tons of fun skiing in the backyard. If you have the space for one, I would say build one for sure.

Hit up your local trampoline park or YMCA with diving boards. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere there should be some kind of gymnastics center/recreation tramp park nearby. Going to the gymnastics center gets kind of weird though when you suddenly realize you are basally a gymnast with skis on your feet.

That's why I go to trampoline place with a bunch of 9 year olds runnong around. You feel more like a kid practicing the tricks you dreamed of doing as a young buck. When you go to a gymnastics place, you get this weird vibe from the actual gymnasts doing their perfect dub back 720s while your doing off axis spins like corks and rodeos.

I've broken like 3 phones because of this. Throwing gnarly 4s out straight to the (in the) parking lot. Was worth it every time tho

Ye that's y I always wear pants with zip up pockets so this doesn't happen

Tramp park is pretty sweet. In the off season I tend not to focus too much on skiing but rather on keeping fit over summer, unless I'm going to a training camp or something. Doing some other sport in the off-season sort of resets your mind. It doesn't take too long to get your tricks back. I am lucky I have an indoor ski area close-ish by to practise rail tricks on.
