Sorry to burst your bubble but neither of these guys does really creative skiing. Maybe Casabon a bit with his blunts and shit. Don't get me wrong, they're sick skiers who throw down harder than I ever could, but they aren't creative.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Andreas has a really good shot at winning. But the course looks dope. The first jib is gonna be dangerous on the landing. When people do big spins off the rail and land in the guard rail. oh jeez. But other than that i'm stoked on the creativity thats gonna go down.

Looks like guys are going to be able to throw stuff that makes the X Games judges have to think for a change.  I just hope they reward steeze.  Somebody is going to hand drag that rainbow and maybe even incorporate a rotation.  It's going to be sick.  Hope it doesn't end up in the same vault where Andy Mahre's footage is; never to be seen again.  Sorry to be the buzz kill, but I'm a bit jaded.

this, wonder if they had put it at the end or the start, probably the end would have increased the creativity, i know they like to end with a big jump, but that could have been interesting.

They need to move the course back to skiers left of the pipe, not enough room over there.

This made me angry. Maybe they are not traveling circus creative but they are creative in the tricks they do. Come on man. Casabon did a nose press to tail press on one rail in a video don't hate.
