3rd stop of the Freeride World Tour.

I'm guessing this must be a different TJ Schiller as he has a blown MCL as far as I know and as much as I'd love to see an ex-bump rider take some spotlight from the footage I've seen from the first two stops it seems a bit out of his league.

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Come on, TJ grew up in interior BC, of course he knows how to ski big mountain.


It'd be weird if there was another TJ Schiller... it would mean theres a big mtn tj schiller and jeremy jones and a park rider tj schiller and jeremy jones

I'm sure TJ can ski big mountain well, just not on the level of those other guys.  They probably could have found someone else who would do a better job.  With TJ hurt, they will have to.

I am absolutely not saying TJ couldn't rip big mtns well. He grew up bump skiing, which is an awesome foundation for it (just look at winners of the IFSA tour, etc.). However the World Freeride Tour is the best of the best. It would be like if Seth tried slopestyle or something-

BAH! I'm sure seth can kill it in the park compared to 99% of skiers, however he would have a hard time competing against the top guys (Jon, Sammy, etc.).

Much in the way TJ can kill it in the big mtn, but would have a hard time competing against the top guys (Drew, Nick, etc.).

He would kill it. It'd be like that snowboarder trying to take off one jump and land on the second jump's landing... except Seth would actually make it.

Not sure about Seth on rails though. Might be in for some heavy metal slamming.
