just want to hear some ill stories so just post funnest,best, sickest experience w.e you want, mabye even a couple of bad ones but not to much negativity please :)

I will start.pretty much just today learning side flips, backs,fronts and cork 5's, and 7's(7 wasnt to down so i wouldnt count it and five was because i was attempting 7 and under rotated), with chris turpin, Tanner Hall and Jf Houle at D-Slpash. It was so sick there was only three of us in the weekend camp so we got alot of attention from the coaches Chris turpin was an extremely good coach( same with everyone else but i spent most of the time with him ) and probably taught me more about skiing then i have ever learned in my whole life it was so fun and was a great experience. I was especially stoked because i have never attempted flips on skis before and got most of these tricks almost perfect in two days of camp. :)

 
Well my best was the first time I claimed. The feeling was amazing!
No but seriously, congrats, that sounds dope.
 
The first time i clicked boots into ski bindings i remember that sound like it was yesterday.
 
Skiing Whistler backcountry on April 1st of this year. Waist deep pow, 15 footers everywhere, and monster pillows. It was a dreamland(:
 
Pow days are always sick because I usually only get 1-2 a year. Other than that my first 360, bindsoul, A-frame, and pond skim. Was pretty stoked on all those.
 
yeah I saw you today on the ramp being coached by like 3 of the top freeskiers. Not alot of places can gives you 3 coaches for a day on water ramps. best combo.
 
-Pow days at Alpine Meadows with my closest friends. Just deep pow, no lines, traversing and skiing until your dead and then skiing some more.

-Warm blue bird days working in the AM park with perfect jumps and a solid rail line and there is no one but you and a couple friends for hours at a time.

-Poaching and watching Level 1 jumps this spring, with permission...

-Ripping with an OG in the game and friends on a few sub-par days, getting shown to natural lips and stashes that even after 5 years skiing at AM none of us my friends really knew of.

-The run after helping push a ski patrol sled out of Munchies because it was so deep they couldn't ride it in the flats. This photo isn't from that day but you get the idea...

-The Smith shoot that my boy Pete (and me because I'm standing there) got the centerfold in the Powder photo annual, wasn't that great of a jump but how the fuck can that not be one of the best days ever (see below)?

Life has been good the past few years...
 
clicking into skis for the first time of the season. first time landing a 5. setting coark and stomping it.
 
last day of skiing with my local freeride club in april, did my first backflip off a windlip, spun 3s off some 10-15 footers, and the biggest cliff (35 ft) and deepest turns of my life.
 
two years ago at silverton for the first time. my dad secretly got all three of us (me, dad, brother) one heli drop. it was windy so we couldn't go far, but it was sick nonetheless. and also, at the end of that day, at like 5, as the sun was starting to set, our guide took those of us that wanted up to one shoot that had been untouched for an entire week (it had been storming all week) and i got first tracks. on the pontoons i was renting. i fucking went back to my racing days and flew down this thing. it was about a 1000 vertical run and i bombed it, in a foot and a half of light pow, with the sun setting, with the most magnificent mountains in the world around me. (youd agree if youve ever been to silverton.)
 
First ever legit pow day (coming from ohio) in Utah this spring. Tit deep pow. Never have been more happy in my life. Or maybe the time I hit McConkeys bowl in PC.
 
having my mom send me up on the ski bus to timberline with 2$ for hot chocolate. all week long i would look forward to going skiing on saturday.
 
Yeah dude I had a perfect styly K fed at MHSSC on their C box when all the camp/coaches were seshing it. Felt awesome.
 
Mine would be two seasons ago, driving up to the mountain after a nice storm cycle, on a completely snowpacked interstate, only car on the road. Everything on the drive up looked sooo different.

I got first tracks down my favorite run (which didn't even open this past season god damnit)with friends. It was the deepest, softest, fluffiest snow I've ever skied. True whiteroom.
 
That was my highlight also. Skinning up oboe made me feel scared that the snow was going to be crap, there was a terrible wind crust and whatnot. But the second I got into the tree's it was amazing the snow was perfect and pretty much every turn I was able to get a faceshot (a first considering that I'm 6'7). I hope for another day like that this upcoming season.
 
after skiing most of my life primarily on the east coast, getting to ski a bluebird powder day at Snowbird was easily my best skiing experience. one of the greatest days of my life
 
amen.

also every time i get a sunny spring park day its always soooo fun.... hot laps, soft snow, new tricks, laughs on the chair, friends, its like no other
but yea its hard to pick just one cuz i have so many amazing expieriences with skiing
 
yes!

but for one in particular:- Crystal Mountain hosts the junior big mountain freeskiing championships every year. Two years ago I went with a small group of my team. The first day that we were there was inspection day, and it had DUMPED. Over the head, choking on pow. And it was during the week so nobody was up there- no lift lines, just me and a group of close friends, parents, and coaches shredding all day instead of poking around on a venue. Absolutely incredible, one of the best pow days I can remember to this day.
 
I'll play:

my favorite day ever was my senior year of high school, last day of state finals for the shitty high school team I raced for in Mammoth. Everyone was hating life because it was puking and windy. I didn't qualify for Slalom, which was what was going on that day, so I was just skiing with friends during a day off school.

The afternoon got more wild and everybody went inside, the mountain belonged to me and my two friends. We took a lap that consisted of a small chute, to some tree skiing, to a straightline into a small windlip hit. Every run we took the wind blew in our tracks from the run before so it was fresh each time.

I landed a cork three kinda on my ass but rode it out. It was the best feeling ever at that point in time. We walked into the award ceremony covered head to toe in snow and out full baggy ski gear, with a bunch of racer dummies in their ball crushing racer suits wining about who won. Everyone was shocked we showed up late because they had all gone in as soon as races were done.

Which is why racers are lame.

 
Powder day in West Virginia of all places, this was after going to Tahoe for a week and not getting anything. I pretty much skied parts of Snowshoe that I've dreamt of hitting.
 
i strongly agree here. especially when it is waist deep on a groomed run.
and i have a few.
- the first time i hit a jump over 40 feet. changed my skiing.
- first 7 i did
- nearly drowning in japanese pow because it was so deep and i couldn't get up
- not really a ski experince, but best snow work experience. working as an instructor with the highest level kids on one of the snowiest week of the season. 3 kids, skiing waist deep pow and 50cm+ fresh every day.
 
we got stranded at our house and decided to stay because the highway was closed for too much snow. the next day o got to ski 3 feet of fresh with nobody (practically) on the mountain. made some trails and had a good time with friends

 
Easy. Going heli skiing in NZ a day after a snowfall with blue skys. Such a mind blowing experience.

Plus I got to ski this:

Stepping up from a 1 to a 9 in one day on a big jump, it used to scare the shit out of me, first time I spun on it I went for a three but ended up in a five. Three runs later I was stomping 9s every time. I learnt rodeo 5s and both 4s off a flat bar that day too, I went home on such a silly high.
 
backflipping my first cliff drop

finally being able to put a grab in my switch 9's (like 8 years after landing my first switch 9)

every in bounds pow day with friends at my local hill. that shit never gets old.
 
i worded the first one oddly, didn't I? the first time I backflipped off a cliff

I didn't backflip my first cliff drop... that would be crazy.
 
On my Birthday a few years back me and a buddy went up to Vail and shreded the back bowls and Blue Sky Basin all day in waist deep pow. We hucked 10+ footers all day long. Greatest day ever.
 
one of the very very rare pow days on the east coast. Definitely wouldn't compare to anything some of you are used to, but it was more than enough for us.

had one of those fantastic moments where you just stop, and it's all beautiful and perfect.
 
- Going to have to say almost every pow day i have ever skiied on the east coast, and i consider like 6'' a pow day. I mean it just changes everything and everything looks fresh and new, everything seems shredable.

 
My first blind 3 swap on a sketchy flat down at copper my last hit. got second real stoked. and getting sponsored by Nordica this year :)
 
I got a first tracks pass for my first day of four at whistler, it had snowed a ton the day before so they hadn't opened the alpine, then it snowed some more overnight. I got of the lift by the main lodge on whistler, looked at the peak chair, and then BOOM!, they were blasting for avalanches. Felt the blast and i knew it was going to be a good day. Skied fresh light untracked pow all day.
 
Last year when vt got slammed with 4 feet of snow I was at Stowe skiing the glades with m friend. Better than any park day and the most fun I have ever had skiing.
