What if back in the day all the skiers that were able to learn huge trick without airbags and stuff were able to because they wore full hockey gear under their 5xl hoodies and pants? And nowadays park skiers are such pussies because they can’t wear protection under their medium jackets. Lol jk but what if 🤷‍♂️

henriks the best but I feel like airbags make it inevitable for the young guns to eventually have a bigger bag of tricks than him. Butttt he will always be the goat because of his comp history and he’s one of the most stylish skiers of all time behind twall

When we get a full on 4 inch pow day it’s time to test out all the new tricks. (Not a shit post)

I'd say the same here in Montana. I think what's important is the confidence it gives you

Slush is the closest to powder I usually get. I personally think it absorbes impact better, but I've never experienced more than a foot dump.

This is so true when I was trying to land right 5s (I swear I'll get them by the end of the season) I landed nose heavy and flipped over my skis, planting my head right into the ground and doing a front flip. Luckily it was slush because had that been hard pack or ice I would have probably gotten a concussion.

I was learning 5s the other day and I can do a 450 and land. Slush is the best substance know to man kind.

LOL airbags? That's what you bring up? Ah right you're probably 14.

You kids are fucking spoiled with jumps and rails actually being designed well and not getting your pass pulled for having skis in the park.

The 2 years of that being remotely possible but have been traumatic for you.

Until you stomp and then catch an edge on the landing because it is so soft. Also Tall Tees + Slush = Bloody Arms
