How hard are jumps on snow blades? I’ve tried them a few times and I’ll randomly lean too far forward or back and fall. These edits got me wondering how much harder jumps and rails are with snow blades vs normal skis

That's exactly it. Blades teach one to ski on their feet. This teaches excellent fore and aft balance. Oldham killed it.

It took me a couple minutes to notice his awesome leopard leggings. Or is it cheetah? I saw a lady rockin' a onesie in the same pattern a couple days back, bold move.

My homies and I had a pair of 110cm rossi rebels that I remounted for a larger boot. We never did any big jumps but my buddy straight lined the steepest trail at our mtn which has about a half mile of headwall at about 45º. Also great for sending shit on backie booters.

They were pretty fun for hitting rails cause spins on to tiny rails were easy and you could get a lot of swaps in.
