I'll just rephrase the title...

what, in your opinion, is the most creative/original/innovative trick done on skis on natural terrain?

44 days had a lot of cool shit.
Tim D's cork 3 hand-drag over a cliff at around 13:30 really stands out to me

i think it was neon sneakers or justin perry or someone from that crew who did the biggest 180 in the trailer for their movie over a cat track. and holy shit, that was crazy.

He said on skis, but i'd have to agree. That cornice jib in Thats it Thats All was insane.

Oh my bad, but yeah, Idea had lots of wicked shots.  I really like butter spins off huge cliffs.

I'd say a whole lot of Idea and Hunting Yeti sums up everything sick done on natural terrain.

Just they way they use the natural lips built up from snow and everything else just makes everything they do that much sicker.

Something in Journal. Maybe Ager's 3 to bonk to 180 on that cliff or a hand drag. I liked Dane Tudor's smooth one on that pillow.

There is sooo much dope stuff done in the BC though, basically everything in Idea is dope, and I bet everything in Hunting Yeti is creative too even though I haven't seen it.

And as said above, 44 days had some cool stuff.

This obsession with pointing to travis rice in every other thread is just flat out fucking annoying. Nobody is hating on snowboarders, but this is a skiing forum, and especially in a thread that specifically mentions on skis, your eagerness to flaunt your knowledge of the other side just makes you look like an idiot. Im really glad you like travis rice, but until he gets on skis, he shouldnt be mentioned in half of the flipping non ski gabber threads~

yeah this is why I mentioned SKIS SPECIFICALLY. Thank you.
That's It, That's All was obviously an amazing movie with a lot of innovation but I don't snowboard as well as I ski, so I'm nowhere close to being able to doing innovative stuff in that area. Skis, on the other hand, I can work with.

I'm pretty sure I haven't really seen anything this year that I haven't seen before.  Not that there isn't incredible stuff, but innovation?  Hmmm....  Pep's whole segment from 1242 may or may not have changed skiing.  As for tree taps... watch Ant in Ten (X).

I would argue that pep's segment in that movie had a bigger impact on skiing that any other seggy out there~
