Replying to Where i think park and urban skiing should be headed

soul_steeze's thread got me thinking. i dont really see skiing headed to being more so dominated by backcountry skiing. i mean its been around forever and and will always be featured in films because as skiers its what we look forward to more than anything. i DO think however that just ripping pow and having fun skiing will definitely be emphasized more and more in the coming years.

having fun is what snowboarding is basing its shift on in the last couple years. if you dont believe me just go look at the Airblaster team and the Think Thank crew, they have more fun than anybody on snow and their films get you so amped to ride whether it be two planks or one. i see skiing heading more in that direction with more and more creative stuff being done on rails and less of this 630 to 720 sw up nonsense that we were seeing for a while there. (not to say that wouldnt be fucking sick, but it gets old)

I think skiing should head that way. i mean snowboardings always been a bit ahead of skiing so why not close the gap and start influencing snowboarding in the future. lets start doing some new slides on boxes, fuck all this hating on asian_allen. his mindset is better than alot of the people on this site right now. last year i was doing the same shit he was doing. i mean really, just doing sw-ups and pretzels gets old when theres SOOO much more we can be doing on rails and boxes and urbans. its all about having fun right? so why should you hate on someone for having fun by doing whatever they want to do?

just my thoughts tonight. im fuckin amped to ski. 10 days left till i go home! wooo!
