I was watching some old warren miller flicks on OLN (Outdoor Life Network) and there was a clip of tanner when he was 16. Kid was ripping it up then, great bump runs, flawless rodeos and such, ETC. Just made a better impression of him, he really is an all around great skier.

I think he is an amazing all around skier. And I think he rips big mountain. he does it differently than the rest(ie: mcckonkey, nobis, morrison) so a lot of people thinks he sucks at. But what ever I don't see anybody else giving Bigmountain skiing a different style of RIDING.

didn't he just start big mountain skiing not too long ago? I mean if so then he has already progressed alot for such a short period of time.

^Actually, Tanner grew up in Montana, so the kid knows how to ski lines. He just hadn't gotten movie time in places like alaska or BC until a few years ago. The ways he sees lines not as where he can make turns, but what features he can jib off is pretty progressive. It's going to be cool to watch him, now that he's on a ski with a higher tail than tip.

i agree brian...tanner rips the fuck outta big mountain in his own way.

plus hes doing it on centermounted soft 191's, most other bigmountain skiers wouldnt even step on those things

yea tanner is basicly the shit...but god please do not think of him as the best, there are so many other well rounded skiiers as well. Im not trying to rip on tanner, but make sure you respect all the other skiiers out there.

Way to go Tan the man!!! Keeping it real so i dont have to!!




Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

do you know what tanner had to stay about Rahlves and Bode Miller. Tanner should just shut up and respect the skill it takes to race.

i give tanner full respect when he is flying through the air, but if he is not spinning in the air all you can do is laugh. And if you do respect him dont bother reading any new articles that were just released because i asure you you wont have respect after reading them, i know i wouldnt have respect for ANY skier who said that shit

^He's frustrated that bode miller goes out and for the same stuff gets paid a million dollars, just from his ski contract. I would be angry too if I had given my life to a sport only to watch someone in a different area of what I did make twice as much.

I think the ppl saying that tanner could ski the dh course don't really understand how hard racing is themselves, n how steep that shit is
