so my friends and I wer having an argument about wether Garret Russle is actuly a good skier or not. This went on for over an hour with no real conclusion. I was on the side that yes, he is a good skier. Since we couldn't come to an agreement, we wanna know what ns thinks. Is Garret Russle a really a goodskier??

He's better at skiing real mountains than he is at being innovative on rails.  And he's innovative as FUCK on rails/boxes.

theres a video out there of him skiing some pretty gnar couloirs outside telluride with his brother. I have no idea where to find it but that should settle any debate.

Garrett's not only a good skier, he's a great skier with the passion, inspiration and creativity to do what he wants to do, not what he sees others doing.


Sounds like you need some new friends.

Garrett's definitely one of my favourite skiers, so unique and just loves to cruise and have fun.

just because he's not shoving doubles down your throat does not mean he isn't a good skier.

argument:

p1. The purpose of skiing is fun.
p2. To achieve the purpose of an activity is to be good at that activity.
p3. Garrett Russell has a lot of fun skiing.
.: c1. Garrett Russell is good at skiing.

response to requirement of skill and technique counterargument:

p4. Being 'good' at skiing requires meeting a set standard of skill and technique.
p5. My personal experience in skiing, as well as training as a ski instructor, give me authority as a judge     of skill and technique
p6. Garrett Russell at least meets the requirements of being a 'good' skiier, based on my assessment from video evidence.
.: c2. Garrett Russell is a good skiier

response to counter argument challenging premise 5.: 

I guess its up to you to doubt me. 

.: c3. In my opinion Garrett Russell is a good skier
