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

So much respect to the whole crew and can't wait for next season's offerings!

OH MY GAWD!

MY COMMENT MADE IT ONTO EPISODE 5!!! WAAAAAAAAAH.

Honestly dude, I didn't expect you to burn the purple jeans. Hell, I wasn't even that serious.

However, if it got me a mention on a Ski-Fi episode. FUCK YES.

I love you guys. Keep ripping.

Much love,

Yossarian.

Small caveat.

Vimeo had only loaded to 1.03 when I wrote that comment. (Shitty hotel wi-fi)

However, I am still stoked I was included. Awesome.

Also WTF sideflip at 2.58!!!

every time a new episode drops i get exited as hell, but i'm always a little sceptical if they will be able to maintain the quality and creativity of the previous episodes. But the first skiing shot of this episode threw away all my worries - real skifi is without doubt one of the most consistent and generally awesome crews out there.
