...what would it be? If you were the all-powerful God of skiing, who can do anything. #justabitoffun



I'd probably go for more team comps (Orage Masters, Battle my Crew, Tremblant T4 always seem super fun). Go!

better all-mountain skis: durable on rails, stable on jumps, and floaty in powder

This. On the way to the mountain, i always blast smooth jazz on the radio. Jazz is necessary for optimal steeze.

thing is, if we had pow everyday, would we appreciate it as something magical? i would have to go with the snow that melts at high temperatures....

snow that melts at higher temp is realllly good

i think i'd like to make it so you couldnt get hurt though. yeah, i think that's my wish. then even us tools with jobs and shit could push it as hard as we want and not worry about fucking ourselves over..though the gnarliest places would be overrun by idiots throwing themselves off shit..

true. but after 19 years of my existence with about 1 or 2 days of anything like fluffy pow in NJ, I';d take it any day. keep the park and icy groomers though, I'd miss those as well.

Every decent line would have a mandatory 20 at the top.

Gotta weed out the riffraff somehow.

Make it so that it wasn't about the money and sponserships, but rather going out and killing it with your friends.

on a powder day the snow would never get marbley towards the bottom.
no more edge catching. although this is more of a concern when I'm snowboarding
at the beginning of the season, everyone's employer gives them a really good pair of race skis so I could have some decent skis for carving

Ski boots... honestly i hate fuckin ski boots, walking with them makes u look like u have a stick up ur ass, they hurt your feet, look fuckin ugly, and are heavy as fuck... why cant someone make ski boots that will finally be comfortable? something like snowboard boots.. why not?

everyone complains about how hard ski boots are to walk in, but they're not made for walking, they're made for skiing... they're supposed to support your feet and ankles, give you control and power over your skis.
snowboard boots, on the other hand...

I'd take away the attitude of everyone who's worried about "fixing skiing", or "the direction that this sport is going", or "what's cool tomorrow".

i want a longer winter, for every feature to be intelligently groomed and actually hit to see if its safe, skis that dont break or lose edge, and for there to be no hate whatsoever because skiing is the best thing ever
