...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!

1) skiing halfpipe in the olympics

2) more grassroots style big mountain events-  like the Berthoud Badass if anyone remembers that

More lifts - so no one has to wait for an hour and a half lift for only 800 metres of a downhillslope. And less animals on trails

No hate. No greed. And everything being a bit more affordable. From passes to gear. Skiing is the most expensive drug haha. Oh, and gapers that block features for no good reason. Injuries are one thing. But stopping to take pictures on the takeoff/rollers/knuckle of a jump is so pointless. I see it every weekend :/

speedy lift to the summit where there its about 25 degrees.  steep run with cliffs and 2 feet of pow.  at the bottom of that part it magically becomes 50 degrees and there is a sick park with 100 features of all sizes and the snow is fast yet really soft and slushy.

I was going to say:

"magically bestow a pair of Salomon 1080's on myself in about 1983, along with the knowledge of what is possible by today's standards".

Meh, I'm so stoked on skiing now and where others have taken it. Why mess with perfection?
