It’s always fun to hear what people’s goals are… and to check at the end of the season and see if any of us met those goals! 

My goals for this season are:

Level 2 Avy Certification
More backcountry!  Hopefully with the help of a splitboard
Tricks off backcountry features - instead of just flailing and squealing.

And a bit in the park.  I’d like to be able to do a 360, and also to do a boardslide on baby mini features.

Everything kody just listed, but with more style.

 

But SERIOUSLY folks… I want to tap dance across boxes like it’s nothing. Ya know when those people just make it look effortless to switch positions throughout the box? Fricken sweet. And I want to actually do some stylish, floaty 1’s, do a 3 off bumps and work my way up to jumps, 270 onto boxes… maybe even hand plants? More grabs, more ground tricks, just more!

apparently I’m the least experienced rider here. 
I just wanna be able to conquer the mountain and maybe by the end of the season I’ll be able to get in the park a little.
It’s a small goal, but everyone has to start somewhere!

@ DearTragedy: i am still a beginner too!

i do not conquer the mountain at all! , i only have 7 days of riding experience outdoors, so the most of the goals for me are on a indoorslope, where everything is a lot easier actually.

but that doesn’t matter at all, it’s just all about having fun :D
