most of you guys, no matter what age, seem to look more and more like those little bundled up kids at the ski school. all you need to do know is follow each other turn for turn and you'll fit in perfectly. ok, big baggy stuff is gay, that's obvious, but beyond comfort or whatever kind of style you're after, it's mostly just a way to mask you're level of skiing technique.

the level of skiing, i think, has gone down so much in the last couple of years due to the snowparks allowing skiiers in. park riding has gotten alot better, sure, but it's rare to see good skiing anywhere else these days. i guess it's good that alot more kids are picking up skis, but learn to use them. i saw a few clips of tangerine dream the other day, which featured some guys like tanner hall and a few others riding powder in the trees. it was embarrassing. these guys can't ski. they can jump all over the place, but they can't ski.

ok, let me have it kids....

big fucking deal. I've been skiing for 4 years, and i'm better than a lot of people that have been skiing since they could walk. Number of years doens't necessarily mean you can ski. I dont doubt that you're good, but you're not special just cuz your parents got you into the sport before you could wipe your own ass.

While I won't drop names, and I am obviously a newb here. I can understand the sentiment. I've gone into the park too many times to see skiers that can't turn but are trying to do spin tricks and whatnot. Learning how to link some turns and to get a little brave and learn to ski fast (that doesn't just mean bombing down the hill) will help more than some would like to realize. Confidence on your skis, turning, skiing bumps, dropping stuff or hitting a kicker all plays into itself.

you fag!!!!
tanner can ski
he used to ski moguls

Most skiers that are big name pros like tanner,dummont,schiller, ect can ski...they grew up skiing. some of them it runs in there family
soo i think you should think about what you say befor you say it cause maybe your the prick that needs to go back to ski school and learn how to f'ing ski!!!

so since ive only been skiing like three years now, and im not as good as you. I should quit? I dont get what ur saying, yeah some kids arent good at skiing but how are they supposed to get good if u dont ever want to see them out on the hill when they're sucking. Are they supposed to practice in their backyards until theyre as good as seth and then they are finally able to tkae out to the mountain, in your presence. I understand what ur saying about kids being in the park that can hardly ski but at the same time can u really expect kids to stay out of the park for years until they can ski pow good and then, only then, they are allowed to go off jumps and do the "fun" skiing. Its just not practical. the park is just more appealing.

I'm not saying don't go into the park.. I'm just saying get out and make a few turns too, it'll help you more in the park than you think. I don't expect everyone to be able to ski tight lines and trees great to go into the park, but people should be concious to skiing as a whole. If park skiing is the only "fun" skiing to someone, thats fine too, but being able to ski fast enough in control to ski well in the park is not just something you get by hitting kickers and whatnot (I guess you could technically, but still). I'm not trying to come off elitist, I just think it is a little funny watching someone who can barely turn forward trying to jump onto a rail switch. Either way, by all means, go out and have fun.

I got to agree with the dude who started this thread, 90% of the skiers out there arent technically strong skiers. With that said it doesnt matter as long as they are having fun. As for Tanner Halls abilities, in order to be a strong skier in the park you have to be a strong skier outside the park. Its all about how you control your skis and your balance. So I disagree on your Tanner point. And i finish by saying there are some angry people on this site.

instead it makes them think those kids doin 900 are better skiers than kent kreitler

Lets not forget that Kreitler a) has no stlye, and b) started bitching hardcore in mags about how he gets no credit for the jumping he did. Tanner Hall smacks the shit out of Kent Kreitler.

i agree with this. "kids" i say that because they usually are 15 and under are killing it in the park but couldnt do a bump run for their life. i started skiing park because i couldnt find any more challenging terrain and it was something new. but kids now cant ski, their more acrobats than anything

who cares if they can't ski powder, most of people can't ski parks but some of them can ski powder very well. We don't say that they can't ski because they can't ski park. There just good in an other type of ski.
