Sometimes a question arises on these forums and on the hills:

"What IS real skiing?"

Real Skifi is one of the most prominent chapters in the newschool movement right now. Through these webisodes, you can see absolutely terrifying amounts of creativity when it comes to urban environments, local ski venues and crafting tools to aid them in the process.

These guys will whisk you off into summer, leaving you with a terrific smile on your face and the knowledge of what it really means to ski.

Episode 1

C'mon, they're just pants.

But it's good to see that there are not as many negative comments about tighter clothing as there were in the past.

I didn't mean anything by it.

Really I'm just jealous I don't have the legs to pull off that look. I'd kill to be able to rock purple leggings.

It's a play on words. You can say it like Science Fiction "Ski-fi" or Ski-Phee, which means Ski and FI, referring to Finland.

But you'll now for sure soon.
