30 seconds to ski.

With a lot of great skier's passing away recently, I got thinking that how much longer we get to ski could easily be cut short through unforseen circumstances.
So my question to you is if you had the chance, for 30 seconds, to do anything skiing related before you could never ski again, what would it be?

Mine would be to get the best turns I've ever had in 4 foot+ pow, bluebid day, through trees with some mates.

30 seconds of epic pow turns ending precisely on the lip of chads gap, from which i would fly into a foam pit.

I guess 20 seconds of powder turns then hit a nicely crafted back country jump into powder no tracks and do a nice trick.

I'd want nice packed pow high speed with a kicker (throwing a perfect... something) into the pow then amazing turns through some trees after the pow bowl I landed in then cliff drip right before it ended as I was falling.
All with my best friends skiing the same terrain.

I would want to ski a couple turns down a wide open bowl and rocket off a massive cliff at the end and swan dive off the edge to accept my fate.

I would say maybe a massive park jump with all the bros hitting it at the same time doing old school grabs and tricks then a fat pow tree line in whistler.

I love rails and I could honestly say it would be a tough decision between a rail line and a pow line for my last 30 seconds of skiing ever. I like rails as much almost as pow I must be some faggot who doesn't know how to ski right? Fuck you. Let the kid make his own decision on what he likes in skiing, just because it doesn't suit your interests doesn't mean you've gotta hate on it.

its my dream run, i can pull whatever trick i like. but if we are being realistic, prob just a massive steezy sw 180. but where does your run end? mine ends when i stomp the 150 ft gap and ride into the sunset. where's your conclusion? thats why i wanna finish with a huge jump

Definitely some fresh powder (for me somewhere in Chamonix) finished off with a huge jump- pretty standard but that's what we ski for.

disregarding the 30 seconds blatantly,my last hours i'd want to hike up on a mountain, wkth my best friends, then when i reach the top, sit down, enjoy the view, have a beer with my bro's, watch the sun set, then put on my skis and ski off a cliff and pass away to a background of a setting sun, doing what i loved doing my entire life....






then in heaven i'd hook up with mcconkey and CR and start shredding lines in heaven! :D

backcountry on a beautiful sunny day in march, maybe a little snow flurry who knows, drop through a dark line of trees with some pillow lines as well, entering out just as the sun is still shining with a long powline, waste deep, making perfect carves, then hitting a perfectly built booter of maybe 40 ft just steezing a nice 3, then riding away with confidence not caring or worrying about a single thing... looking into a gorgeous sunset, thats how id like to end it
