Describe New Wave Skiing

In your own words/opinion.

I picture kids without poles, in less vibrant, tighter fitting clothing and mittens doing backslides.

and instead of afterbang it’s how much can I wrap my arms around my body after a 450 out. It’s less of a statement stomp and more of a fluid twisting motion. I kinda like it.

Finding all sorts of ways to flex your skis and then spring off of this flex to do creative new tricks, in-air pretzels, landing sideways, skiing down stairs sideways, handplants/ using your hands for creative trick variations where poles might get in the way, dancing, breaking free from the norm, getting bashed on by skierman

The screenshots are cool but a lot of times guys are exaggerating it. A lot of riders seemed to flair their arms like rubber hoses.

Bibs with your sweatshirt tucked in. Even though it’s 0 degrees out. So cool! Coats are for Jerrys.

This is accurate af, I think reverting tricks looks so steezy. Genuinely hyped to see where things go from here

buncha 20 somethings who want to differentiate themselves from an already small part of skiing to seem artsy and rad to mostly other bros just like them... all hoping to get some pussy or free gear.

New wave is the corner you're forced into to be cool when there's not a hill over 400ft tall within driving distance

Unpopular opinion: This site is called Newschoolers but is filled with early thirties men hating on the NEW trends, where all they can do is reminisce about the days when you were a sick skier if you could K-fed.

This site was created to defy the norms, it was made when terrain parks had snowboard only signs on them.

I’m pretty sure there was major controversy over afterbang when it first existed as well as huge arguments over tight vs baggy clothing. I don’t think trendy things being unpopular is anything new
