Replying to Absinthe Trailor and ski industry
Absinthe Trailor was good but nothing really new. If Berman, Johnny or Ostness had the budget of Absinthe I think you would see some new shit.The problem with skiiing is the mags and Old Guard industry folk who still think Glen Plake is cool. Powder is for people who like to ski Powder & BC. but they still push our sport more than any other mag. (Back Nine, best photos) Freeskier still thinks the park is cool and barely publish backcountry kickers. IE The only photos of Teddybear crisis jumps I saw were Chad's. Where was Mary Ellen, Dry Fork, Guardmens, Flagstaff upper & lower, Hip Of Love, Snowbird Half pipe gap etc. I goes for other movies too. Ski Time just plain sucks,could have been the new Freeze but they sure Fuck that up. SBC skier photo editor is old school and dosn't give a shit about BC kickers. Ski & Skiing , do I need to say more.
I lot of top Snowboard Co. (Burton, Tech Nine, DC Shoes etc. ) are run by ex snowboarders who know What The Fucks Up. Just check out the Burton tour and you will see what I mean. Our sport will change if we support the company's and filmers who make a difference. By the way Tanner had a sled long before this season.
