What's an "average" trick in your park?

I'm from a real small local mt and every time I go somewhere bigger I get to see way better skiers both all mt and park then I do at my mountain.

So I was just wondering.. what's an "average" trick for your local park? Ours would be

"OMFG HE DIDN'T EAT SHIT ON THE KNUCKLE!!!!"
 
local crew: an average run consists of any combo of spins/corks/flips and rail swaps/spins.
all the gapers: side jumping and knuckle blasting.
 
Don't forget after they knuckle it having their kids follow them and do a wedge up the ramp and get stuck before the top and have to walk/crawl over the lip haha
 
average day during the day when most people are at school there's maybe someone who can do a 3. maaybe slide a box. but more than likely there will be a few boarders just straight airing and 50-50ing boxes. night skiing and weekends there's usually someone who can throw a 7, 270's off, switch ups, etc.

3's and 1's are by far the most common spins though.
 
I ski at Tyrol Basin in WI and your average park run consists of 270's off, front switch up, 360/540s.

You're pretty good if you can ski at tyrol and do anymore rail tricks and really friggin good if you can land inverted tricks (rodeo 5 and 7, backflip/frontflip, misty 5 off of a box is probably the best i've seen). There are several of the usual crew who i ski with who can go inverted.
 
Probably 5s? maybe 2 on or off? Switch ups? there are kids just leaning, and a handful tossing dubs... Snoqualmie pass, wa... For the record
 
not even straight airs... Most of the gapers won't even hit the big jump line at my mountain. but the kids who are actually good can all do inverts and stuff
 
My crew, cork 9's, cork 7's, rodeo 7's, rodeo 5's, k feds, 2 ons, 4 outs, lip slides 2 out, overall kids, your considered good at my moutain by the average kid if you can slide a box haha
 
at my hill Granite Peak in Wausau, WI

non gapers= mistys, fronts, 5's, switch ups, 270-450 out, cork 9's, switch rodeos, flats

otherwise it's all just people just running through the park and wrecking everything
 
Depends on which one...we have one joke of a mountain real close and then Seven Springs a little farther.

At joke mt.

Average: Spread eagle, not knuckling, going straight on boxes

Above Average: 180s, sliding sideways

Pro: 270 off, 360 or above

Jesus: Back/Frontflips

At Seven Springs I'd say average is a 3 or 270 off.
 
This year, for the first time in a while, a couple kids cam back to the home hill. K-feds, switch 5s, rodeo 7s, pretzles, and some fucking nasty nose tap 5s over the rainbow.
 
dude a guy was doing punch fronts at sierra on sunday and like sooo many people were like "woah! stop the lift i wanna watch this guy!"
 
At my hill theres a ski team and most of them are pretty good but they don't hit the park much, mostly just the jumps just for the team. Me and my friends are probably the best not on the team at Canyon, but thats not saying much. I think I'm the only one that can rodeo, most of the other good guys are better at rails though. Any good snowboarders I'm friends with can cork 5, a few 7 and one can 9.

On Average: 3s on a 15 footer, 270's out of boxes and no skiers hit the rails really

 
Breckenridge: Honestly.....I don't even know. I will say that no one bats an eye...at anything really. Dubs every day, every invert imaginable, every swap, press, butter, tap you can think of, and even better, nasty tranny finding and creativity; maybe not quite as much creativity as a place like Key, but then again, Key's setup is far less traditional and really caters to experimentation and creativity.
The "average" park skier at Breck would probably be the best skier at most resorts east of the Mississippi. But, there's so many kids here who are also just learning and progressing. Huuuuge disparity between the best and worst. I will say that on an average sunny, warm day in the middle of the week, you don't see many straight airs or too many people knuckling. Pretty much everyone seriously lapping Park Lane is at least decent and comfortable spinning jumps roughly 30ft.
 
Granite is awesome! Won lift tickets there last season.

Wasn't it rated #1 Terrain Park in the Midwest by Transworld SNowboaring??

But anyway, an average trick at my mountain would be a 360 and sliding a box. Even though there are only about 5-10 freeskiers at my place.

lol.
 
Snowpark NZ. average trick there would range from like a 540 to switch quadruple cork 18.

Well not that nuts, but you get what I'm saying.
 
coming from michigan, the stuff we saw was insaane..in half a day in park, we saw cork 6's off that flat box with the up thing at the end, a few dubs, and so many kids with rail games at the same level as the best kid at my mountain i felt like a gaper haha...and im not thaat bad at least on rails ha
 
i went to granite peak for a weekend about a month ago and nobody was throwing anything, the best i saw was a lincoln 180
 
sugarloaf at haywire, there's usually kids spinning big cork 7s, sw rodeo 5s, grabbed spins sw and regular up to 10. and basically all rail tricks (pretz kfed lipslides butters and other ill shit). haven't seen any dubs yet, don't know if the jumps are quiite big enough but i could be wrong
