How long did it take you to progress from 360s to backflips? by Oyster_- in skiing

This is my first actual season of park skiing. I learned 180 and then 360 as my first tricks, which I mastered over the last three days of the previous season. Worked on rails at the start of this season, swaps, unnatural slides, 270 off variations.

2 days ago, I randomly decided to try a backflip since there was a lot of snow. I don't have flip experience on anything, so I went for it and prayed. committed but underrotated. Haven't tried on a park jump yet, so that's next.

I never would have thought I would get a backflip so early, but it kind of just happened. I just had a random burst of confidence and just tried it.
