Okay lets be honest. the only time you see a skiier land switch is the pipe is the last hit of the run. I think the skiing switch from wall to wall will start winning comps and skiiers will get major style points. tell me if i'm wrong i wanna know what people think about this idea

its hard to boost going switch.. when u have people airing like 20 feet out a 7foot switch hit doesnt match it.. maybe in a year or 2 we will see some switch boosting

i guess its all about consistency....you really dont want 7 ft switchs against 20 ft regulars as previously said. whatever.....in a few years every hit will be switch and people will drop in the pipe switch...how cool would that be? drop in switch to switch 9 or something on first hit??!? thated be nuts.

I saw lots of switch skiing in the pipe at Gravity Games. Unfortunately the guys who did it didn' t score high. Judges suck sometimes.
I think it's on OLN tonight, watch it. :)

I can think of at least 3 people at my mountain who can throw a solid switch run, including the drop in.

Thats cause the last one is easy, The transition back up the other wall to pop out ain't so easy.
