LOL, agreed. At first I thought it was a snowblower. I was kind of wondering why they would have a Redbull Sponsored snowblower. Pretty sick edit; great urban.

Possible, but you'd have to be able to adjust the speed so you don't overshoot etc...

you could still do that. just add some linkages to the carburetor.
but i dont think a lawnmower would be powerful enough. you could probably get a minibike or old go cart engine for cheap as fuck.

Probably the cheapest winch you can buy pre-made. Or if you or a buddy can weld... get the frame on the cheap. You can go with as little as a 5-6.5 hp engine if you get a TAV (torque converter)

That video is really annoying to watch. There's like 20 seconds of snowboarding and 3 minutes of other random "lifestyle" shots or whatever. Those are some sick jibs though for sure.

I know people make rope tows with lawn mower engines so I bet you could make a winch

Then check out their movie for this season "Let's Go Get Lost" - Isenseven if you haven't already. So sick.

If you haven't seen that, Hard to Earn, Neverland and This Video Sucks then you missed alot of sick snowriding.
Actually the snowboard vids (the above few are my favorites) this year were just more interesting than the skiing ones. Not saying the level of riding is higher, but there is more creative urban, more interesting and varied (I though better) music choices etc.
