i need some park tips i mostly ski big mt. but this season im sking mainly park and i need some tips on sliding on rails/boxs and on landing switch on steep landings i looked on the seachbar and didnt find much help please.
 
sliding rails...just keep doing it until you get it, speed is your friend and make sure you are at a full 90 degrees and you should be good. Landing switch on steep ladings...just look up at the top of the tranny and don't be forward, make sure you have a good forward pop too.
 
for landing switch i just can say, try to ride as much switch as possible. there is no tip if you ask me how you can stomp a 60 ft or at least 30 ft 180 the first time you hit a jump.

just ride switch all the time, try to make carving turns over both shoulders, maybe ride the whole day just switch. at one point youll be so comfortable that you can start with 10 ft 180s, go further on 30 ftrs and if youre at 60 ft youre probably doing bigger ones than a lot of people on your mountain.

rails are a lot about confidence. try to commit and widen your stance, get your body weight down so youre much more stable on the air.
 
are you sure your not just saying you ride big mountain because you suck at park and you want to sound better or something? because you cruise the entire mountain and maybe drop some 10-20 foot cliffs on powder days does not make you a big mountain skier.

only reason im saying this is because when i was young i to said such things and i notice it a ton more now as well.

if im wrong about you than my apologies i was just wondering.
 
Alright dude. I'll tell you my secret. Its "I'm not a pussy". Say it to yourself three times and just go for it. Serisoualy, its what I do.
