Stuck in a Rut
Well, I seem to be stuck in a rut, and I'm hoping to draw on the
experience of others in this group. This is my second season snowboarding, and I don't really know where I'm at with my riding right now. I don't know what *level* I'm at--advanced beginner, maybe? I mostly ride in Southern Colorado where there's pretty much always good snow--powder, or a few inches of soft choppy stuff (what is that?), and always good snow in the trees. I don't particularly enjoy the bigger resorts in Summit County, due to all of the people-traffic and lines. I primarily enjoy Blue or Blue/Black runs without either no moguls or at least spread out, low profile bumps. I like to go fast, and I think I can carve a decent line (my tracks are definitive, S-shape and thin). I try keep my side-slipping to a minimum, and only when I need to scrub speed. I enjoy riding through sparsely populated tree areas. I'm not good at moguls or real tree runs--I'm a thin guy (6'1", 160 lbs) with a stiff, wide board. I've been hitting straight jumps and rails the terrain park, but I enjoy finding kickers along/amongst the trees a little more. My question is, what next? What should I work on? It's fun to go fast, it's fun to work on long carves when the resorts aren't crowded, but, what else? Anyone else been stuck at this point? I know there are a lot of experienced riders on this forum, so, what am I missing out on? Thanks Eric |
