well actually just something i want to see: gnarly switch lines in the BC , im talking about about dropping triple stagers switch and going through gnarly chutes. Im sure pollard, pep, and many more have already thought of this. If anyone has footage it would be a nice touch.

i mean it would definately be badass,  but i think doing big lines switch would take away from the enjoyment

I know what you mean.
Maybe if a line doesnt seem challenging just hop a 180 to make it more fun.

he doesnt "ski" it switch, he does falling leaf and goes switch for like 2 seconds at a 45 degree angle. hes a super sick skier, but imo it looked kinda bad.

personally i think the next big thing needs to be CREATIVITY. Im really tired for seeing the same standard backcountry jumps and urban rails. film crews need to spend more time and effort into getting unique features. Look at the FODT movies, yes they are ridiculously thug but they have the most creative urban out of any snow sport and go the extra mile to get it. Creativity also needs to be stepped up in the backcountry. T Rice pretty much took a shit on anyone else trying to do backcountry in thats it thats all. Huge tree taps, gap jumps and unique locations. why are no skiers going out the pushing it like this?
