Slope Style Skiing

Hi, my name is Jackson and I love to to ski. I live in a ski town in north-central Utah. It is about 30 minutes from Salt Lake City. I do competitive slop style skiing. That is going off jumps and doing tricks. Slope style skiing is one of the up and coming sports. It is one of the new sports going into the 2014 Sochi Russia Olympic games. Half pipe is also going to be in the next Olympics. I do half pipe, too, but I still have a lot of improving to do. I think I need a little more confidence and some time to practice. The best half pipe skier is Simon Dumont. He will have a perfect landing almost every time, while doing the most difficult tricks that anyone has done.

I am on a team to practice and get better. This team is called Axis Freeride. The head coach is hatch. They do a winter and summer camp. The summer is off of ramps into a pool at the Utah Olympic park. This is a very fun camp to do and it helps on my skills.
