Bud Light Ski Commercial Missing Chairlift!!!

So I was watching the bud light skiing commercial and for some reason it looked like the guy went off the jump spinning left side and then in the zoomed in version he was spinning right side. I couldn't really tell because it was so small. But then I noticed that there is no chairlift behind the guy when its zoomed out (i think its computer generated) but then on the real life close up he goes flying past a chairlift tower right away. Obviously not a big deal, just something I noticed.

I think they might be computer generated...

This.

When I first saw the commercial all I could think was how many threads NS can make out of it.

Must have been a real tech skier who can 180 one way then 3 the other while magically finding a chaiflift. Bud spent too much money to make a silly mistake like that

it was pep i think, he got paid like 600,000$ for the commercial to stomp it

he was practicing for it a couple of years ago.

haha so the whole thing was filmed in the black park on blackcomb. i was there and the skier is mark abma, i went down there and talked to him for a bit. He was skiing on the new Shogun and it looked super sick. it was really cool to see the stuntman do the fall too

not to mention that when the guy rolls through the picnic tables he hits the last one going pretty slow, but it still collapses and the boards on top magically separate in to individual planks
