The new 12/14 noses are disgusting. Before like 2016 or something like that they weren’t that much uglier than the metal nose but nah the new plastic clear smushed nose ain’t it.
I chuckle every time I read a ski review (looking at you roof boxers). Shotgun a beer when you get to the point of any park-ish review where the writer says the ski is good at rails, because it's going to be said every time. Saying a ski is good at rails is too vague. Some skis may be better at surface swaps for example, but any ski can slide metal.
LemuelSkis are not good or bad at rails, skiers are.

skis like wets or blends for example makes 4 swaps or a sw lip 2 on a big rail easier, some people does tricks on the rails blud
ReturnToMonkeyAll ski movies are the same pretty much
They really are. Everyone is so good at skiing now that I don’t have any skin in the game. No favorites. I want ski media that shows the people and personalities that make skiing dope. August light did well at this.
Even though people are getting better at skiing every year and increasingly going into the streets, style has gone to the wayside. People like edjoy, Dan bacher, and orscar weary who only do skiing maneuvers if they can make them look super fluid and personalized. Singular styles like hornbeck, jeff keisel, and khai kreppa are so rare now. People need to use their brains to think of ways to stand out in a new way. There’s always something. Look at Lucas magoon. He can do tricks that many other people can do, but there is absolutely no mistaking it’s him. He’s put the effort into making each trick truly his own. Idk, I’m tired of seeing amazing skiers do generic looking backslides to back 4s or whatever. Ian Compton was mastering one footed rail shit literally a decade ago
The tricks definitely weren't close to the craziest either of those guys have done, but it's still a better, more stylish edit than 95% of the cookie-cutter content being put out right now

Well said, I think sleepy grill has the most unique style atm
sindreplassenlove that dude. I feel like most people nowadays either try to emulate henrik or ferdi and it ends up looking like shit. skiing is pretty stale rn
Lot of people seem to be inspired by Kai Mahler too
nCrowThe tricks definitely weren't close to the craziest either of those guys have done, but it's still a better, more stylish edit than 95% of the cookie-cutter content being put out right now
I actually disagree heavily, I think there was definitely filler but a lot of the clips of henrik were some of his best and most technical street shots yet. And I would consider this type of video extremely cookie-cutter by dollo standards lol
Would definitely be nice to see dollo switch up the formula a bit. It was iconic for a while but I think we all could go without seeing another video of him pretending to be gangster with another Griselda song about selling cocaine. It just feels hella repetitive at this point.
Just watch and thought it was pretty good. Noah's opening section and song were probably my favorite part. Deff some hammers, but also a lot of filler (Am I missing something with the trick at 5:30? Two angles?)
Alta still not allowing snowboarders is just dumb at this point and I say that as someone who has owned a season pass there for plenty of seasons and fully understand and love the community there.
At the end of the movie Johnny Tsunami, one of the main takeaways is that Johnny brings together the snowboarders and skiers and squashes the beef between them, uniting the two sides of the mountain so that everyone can just chill together after he beats the prep school skier kid in a race down the mountain. It was filmed at Brighton in 1999 and is a pretty apt analogy of Brighton and Alta. Brighton allows anyone while essentially neighboring Alta who forbids snowboarding. Freeskiing is an outgrowth of snowboarding, love it or hate it, it’s true. You wouldn’t be hitting rails or doing urban or even viewing the mountain the same if snowboarding hadn’t gotten the ball rolling. Yeah dudes like Glen Plake set the scene for charging lines but as far as park and street skiing go and the general attitude, style, clothing and approach, freestyle skiing owes it to snowboarding. Nothing about freeskiing history is tarnished by admitting this fact, snowboarders are my friends, always have been, always will be.
Alta refusing snowboarders just feels stuck in this old ski racing mindset. It doesn’t make sense. I get that they can legally do whatever they want but it doesn’t make it right or logical. It just feels like a vestige of an old, white, posh, upper class attitude that no one in skiing really even has at this point. Alta is for skiers, and it should also be for snowboarders.

It's super dope that they don't allow boarders at Alta wtf are you talking about

it's one place out of 100's. is it really that big a deal? If there was a snowboard only mountain, I def would just say cool, let them have their mountain. I wouldn't feel discriminated against. they don't allow frisbee golf at Augusta, but not filing a lawsuit to get in there.

I agree but that doesn't mean I'm not going to laugh every time a snowboarding claims it's discrimination as if snowboarding is inherent to personahood the way race and gender are.

It’s not that big of a deal. The main people making it a big deal are the people enforcing it at Alta. Every other hill doesn’t care, why do they care so much? The argument goes both ways.
Snowboarders saying they should be there on grounds of discrimination or whatever is also stupid. They should be there because everybody should be able to chill together. It’s not complicated, it’s the golden rule that they teach in kindergarten.

Find me a snowboarder that wants to do laps across the High T.
SteezyYeetermrg is definitely a stanky weed mountain with all of the snow scraped off the moguls.
Fixed it for ya.
MRG is special, and I’ve only been twice on shit days. Glen Plake talks about it / skier only hills and why it makes sense at places like MRG in a podcast that I’m blanking on. — Out of Bounds probably??
Like said above, if there was a snowboard only mountain there would likely be no complaints from skiers. It’s a few places. And a majority of my friends are boarders.

Idk man it makes sense to me. From what I’ve heard there’s a lot of traversing at Alta, easy on skis but damn near impossible to do it on a board. Some days at bridger snowboarders would mess up traverses around high T.
Not like Alta is the most expensive mtn I’ve ever seen either I’d get a pass anywhere else besides there, I’m sure they don’t care about having boarders

Preach. Skiing is really fucking sick but snowboarding is no less sicker than skiing. Park / street skiing has very accurately been following what snowboarding has already done for so many years now. Especially trends. I doubt this site would even exist if it wasn’t for snowboarding as well as skating. If you’re not looking up to snowboarders and their videos, you’re doing it wrong.

Yea this ain't it, chief. Snowbird is next door, boarders can go there if they want. Alta being one of the few remaining skiers-only resorts keeps it special. It's their choice as a resort to remain that way, not everything in life needs to be fully-inclusive (assuming exclusions are not based on something like race, etc. obviously).
