I used to ski park alot. like hike all day and try to get real good at rails and jumps. But now that iam older and i have skied real good west coast lines and snow a bunch, i just hate that park scene, just not the same, i hate hiking and wasting time on a bunch of park shit, its weird, can anyone relate? like you use to be a park fiend but now you just appreciate the skiings that use to be alot more, such as powder, pillows, trees and lines. thoughts if you can relate
 
I think if I moved back out west, that is the direction I would go. The skiing out there like Jackson and Big Sky is just to fucking unbelievable to pass up for park... idk
 
I appreciate both. I'd give up any park day for a foot of pow, but I can still ride a 10+ hour day hittin park, urban, and yard setups and love every minute
 
jea I agree with that. Any day there's powder I would rather ski pow mostly but am perfectly fine with skiing park on non-pow days.
 
i used to be the biggest park rat a few seasons ago. now i've gotten older and i've gotten more into steeps/pow and i love it way more. it wasn't that i hate skiing park or anything, i like park i think its a lot of fun. but i hate the direction park skiing is headed right now. and thats what got me out of park. park is fun, but steeps/pow is amazing.
 
i guess ive never skiied in legit powder, or lines, but i did a few things at keystone last year and just wanted go back to the park the whole time. you have to work so hard to find something cool to do.
 
Ya i can relate. First off I suck in the park so unless i can find something fun that i can actually do I would rather ski pow pow anyday.
 
i am the same. ever since i started hiking in the backcountry i figured there was no reason to ski the park. its more fun to huck cliffs and play in natures park.. not some man made thing.
 
Yea Nels I agree. I use to be the a huge East Coast park rat. Trying to progress in rails and jumps everyday, hiking each box/rail and hiking every jump just to learn new tricks. Tough after I headed out west for six years straight i hated the whole park rate scene.... I mean I love flowing through the park and getting shots, I just hate wasting my time on a small little box or east coast jump when I can bump to music slaying powder and pillow lines, so much better at such a degree its unreal, still fun to flow through that park though when you have to deal with it on east coast, just not nearly as fun
