what do you mean inspiration? I thought switch couloirs weren't as much of an art form as they were about not dying.

I give up, I was searching for the video where KC Deane is skiing a pow run switch but than hits a tree and some rocks.. Would have been a good how not to ski switch in a chute/couloir.. Maybe I'll find it later..
