most of the people who played gnar after the movie came out aren't good enough to ski lines that score points...

This movie literally reshaped the way I ski. Every time I’m about to ski down a dinky little line I yell out a phrase like watch me rip the shit out of this. I’ve also been able to meet some really cool people, I was talking with my buddy saying I’m so much better than him and this dude comes screaming past yelling watch me rip the shit out of this. Truly one of the best moments I’ve ever had. If you haven’t watched this movie you have to, I promise it will reshape the way you think about skiing

Bruh squaw on a pow day is honestly like a scene from the movie (minus the nudity) and you will see some absolutely gnarly shit get thrown off of some big shit. fuck not even on a pow day just any day really

who’s got the best pro callout story here? I called out tommy walnuts this year at the Romance premier, and mike hornbeck leaned in behind Tom looked at me and said “bro.... have you seen this dudes switch 9????” I was like bro it’s Tom Wallisch I’ve seen every sw 9 this dudes ever done since I was like 10. Tom proceeded to challenge me in a game of SLVSH, was a great experience with some cool homies. But once I saw some chick on the USA ski team (she a racer gorl) said “I can’t believe you’re a pro, I’m soooooo much better than you”. Needless to say she wasn’t the least bit entertained.

Called out Scott Gaffney last year. I said, "Hey Scott I can't believe you make films for a living. My edits are so much better than yours!"

All time great ski film! It does show what the true meaning of skiing is about. Skiing with friends pushing each other to go bigger and get out of their comfort zones. Bonus points if you have the book.

Dont forget to call your mom from a cell phone as you are dropping a sick line

Definitely something more magical about GNAR than any other ski movie. It always has my smiling the whole way through. Can't wait until the next time we can all party lap with friends.

Also, Robb Gaffney seems like the man. Glad to see he won his battle with cancer.

I was talking about the jerries at other mountains who pole whack and cook breakfast in the lift line, basically the ECP's that don't involve skiing. Good on them, though, they are having fun.
