Sorry NewSchoolers, but the more content I get the better. Even if it means looking beyond our own site. So, any suggestions?

I follow:
theslvsh
railskiing
windells

etc..

zootspace is the only one I really encourage people follow. Baiting and hash tagging for 10k followers and an entire section of hashtags, “DM FOR CREDIT” shit is fucking whack in my opinion. Ski pages in general are whack. People just want clout.

No matter what you do, do not follow Steve stept. I’m not speaking on stept studios as a whole but he’s a misogynist who promotes throwing women out of cars.

honestly you can just replace that with *instagram video in general is wack

100% of the best ski content is not on instagram. Lets keep it that way

Insta is a place to post phone footy edits and shout out your full edits. It has its place but it can be wack if you only use it.

I agree, and I think that's where a lot of people lose focus and Instagram turns from a place to drive eyeballs towards a bigger vision, full length edit, article, etc. to where pretty much 100% of their content lives and dies on their insta feed. A balance could exist but in my experience I'm not really seeing it

Since instagram introduced video I have noticed a trend of quality going significantly down. Gopros and iPhones are a double edge sword by putting decent quality in an extremely accessible and relatively affordable package, but they are almost so easy to the point where nobody wants to use anything else and the content suffers. It's all over sharpened, auto exposure, way too high shutter speed, and strictly wide angle video that all blends together and looks exactly the same. For example literally even including one telephoto tripod shot (actual optical zoom, not just digitally cropping iPhone footage) in an insta edit would separate your cut from the rest of the pack yet pretty much nobody does it. It's all phone footage and there's zero patience so its uploaded that same night, sometimes even that same day before the lifts stop spinning...

call me salty but I miss when instagram was photo only, but I guess that's the way of the road

Totally agree. I miss going in with my friends to produce a 3.5 minute edit. Now everybody just wants to pull their phones out and throw some lil Uzi vert on it in iMovie.



iPhone edits are fun and I like to think I’m good at them but it’s not nearly as rewarding as logging a clip in the park and you going up to ur homie both knowing that shit was on point.

Yea there are worse quality edits being released, but more non pros are releasing content. I see what you’re saying in a nostalgic sense. But the top level content in the ski world is stronger than ever (real ski edits, henrik Harlaut, Forre movies, Dalhbergs edits, ect) There are a ton of hungry kids still at it, filming full edits and movies. Good skiers are pushed to make full edits and movies now as a way to separate themselves from the insta crowd. If anything I’ve noticed more small crews out there skiing street and bc (child labor, forrelife, onslaught crew, ect). However, I do think it’s leading to decrease in budget for edits and movies. Because some companies are taking away budgets for street and using it to sponsor instaskiers (on3p). That’s wack but there is also a benefit in terms of kids being able to get sponsored even when they got no connections. All a kid needs now is a phone and some skills (arguably) and they could get some skis. Instagram also makes it easier for kids to get into making edits and more accessible for non skiers to get into skiing content. I honestly think it is causing a lot of young kids to get into sport. The new online ski community isn’t necessarily 100% better or worse, it’s complex.

thanks for the co-sign homie!

heres my quick list of lesser known recommendations for everyone interested:

@forre4life
unreal ski crew out of Finland. Follow them now before you are mad you were late to the party. They specialize in being Finnish and destroying street spots.

@mcbskee
Mckenna Brown- incredibly stylish skier out of Bend who is living in SLC now. Skis a lot with Taylor Lundquist and you can see the results of that

@jon_mcmurry. Young gun from MN who built his own winch at 16 and has filmed 2 street parts before leaving high school. Now a freshman in SLC and will surely continue on his trajectory in the new zone.

@isaac_emery
talented east coast rail skier outta Killington. Just started at UVM and will be taking his skills to Sugarbush. The place where East coast legends of the last 10 years have been born and bred. Looking forward to this one.

@cami.will
Camden is a Michigan kid with a lot of passion and I personally love that type of energy in my feed. Michigan has a great local scene despite lack of big hills and snow. It makes me motivated to keep after it during low tide.
I’ll leave it there for now. Go do some exploring on their pages and lmk what you think.
