just curious, has anyone went skiing and not gone to the park, excluding pow days, and excluding building jumps.

I never said I was a pro, let alone a real one, I just think that all mountain hucking is more fun and powder is better suited to learn in, I did'nt mean the perfected BC booter, I meant natural terrain and spontaenious hucking, good job pros for what they do but I like my opinion and i'm sticking to it.

I huck so I can CLAIM

this summer i have been re-claiming
this fall I am pre-claiming
all winter i will be post-claiming and re-claiming

I love jump claiming...

Me this year at Red Dog, "Yo Anderson, did you see that cab 180 into the box?"

Shane, "That was gnar, have a shot of jager!"

Me, "Fuck yeah, wait till tommorrow when I clean that hip, its gonna be huge"

who has never gone a whole day without skiing park? In my opinion skiing outside of park can be wayyy more fun than skiing park

what kinda question is that? Of course, I'm always outside the park. I love taking at least 6 runs a day outside the park, ski backwards, hit little bumps, find random shit to jib off of, off trail, the fun shit, its not all about park dude, have fun, be creative.

uh...yeah, of course. usually though, i go to the park when everything's skied out near the end of the day...i can't stand skiing park all day, it's so mundane, no matter how hard you try to mix it up by doing new stuff, you can't ski manmade-features all day- that's not what skiing is to me.

all the pros talk about learning shit in the park then taking it to the backcountry so obviously i think a lot of these kids are lying about how much they love to learn on BC booters, cuz well it doesnt feelt easier to me, pow landings are fucking tough if you ask me.

only twice in Alta and both were pow days. if there is not fresh then all-mountain isnt worth it. otherwise i just lap the park and maybe hit some bumps or drops on the way

just shred pow nar and enjoy life and take a deep breath..and realize that you...live on the east coast and to have a powder day it is like a genie with 3 wishes, the 3 wishes being the 3 major dumps we get, and they aren't that major

Since I live in the east I will gladly take whatever snow I can take

Haha YES! Remember that skateboarding ad? That was the most epic commercial ever, with that black kid being like, a day without my corn pops, is like a day without my skateboard, and it showed him sliding like a 5 foot rail...it was the best thing ever.
