Heavily agree. Would definitely rather have moments or ON3P than rossignols.
First ski I had were soul 7s and fuck those
ReturnToMonkeyBut theyre only good compared to some other companies like Moment, On3p, wndr alpine, etc. If you live in the US, your money is going into another continent's large corporation vs you should rather supprt your own economy's smaller, relatively local businesses. It's better for shipping emissions too.
Black Ops are sick but there are better options with benefits to choose from.
Well stated and an easily overlooked aspect of buying kit.
There has to be something home bred that rips.

Abomber22Supposed to click on, but I don't have the right sticks
i have a pair of bendy ones with pow baskets that I jacked from a lost and found of a hotel I worked at (cuz they were also custom poles from a local ski shop I love) and they have those lip things that hold your thumbs in place, only i cut the straps off cuz i live dangerous
Chubz.Utah looks like a cliquey rich kid middle school and if you don’t wear 6xl pants and die your hair 8 times a year you’re not cool enough to fit in.
Attached double and triple chairs that slap you on the ass when you sit on them will always be cooler than high speed detached quads. Furthermore, 6 person chairs, unnecessary gondolas, bubbles, and other weird contraptions are for pussies and always seem to correlate with overpriced lift tickets

Something about the smell of the really old chairs...

This is true in North America but Europe has much cheaper lift tickets and all of the lifts look like space ships
Vishnu is lame
The swerve edge lord core shit is reaching as fuck
no one likes to ski a 190 noodle of a park ski that is the dumbest shit if you think it rides well
Front 2s are aids. Unless there was a spin on or a swap on the rail front 2s suck ass. I'd rather see you just go to switch or regs. Stop doing straight slide front 2s

Nollie f2s or f2s outta kinks over a kink are fuckin sick
Wearing your goggle straps inside your helmet is uncomfortable, inconvenient, and usually forces you to wear a lower quality helmet and goggles. But it does look cool as hell compared to the strap going around your helmet.

I literally had to rip the BOA out of $230 dollar helmet to be able to comfortably wear my strap under.
I don’t wear goggles really at all no more but idk what all these mfs on ab “it’s uncomfortable.” Never once when I used to wear them was it uncomfortable under the helmet. And never once did I have to remove padding or a boa. N no, my head is fucking huge so it’s not that it worked bc it’s small. Wear a balaclava and adjust the plastic on the back of ur goggles, or grow a pair if u want that look

nah my ears are huge. I need to get a helmet with removeable ear pads. its like theres no extra room for shit in there but maybe a thin buff. Also my goggles have alot of plastic on the back (smith squad mag) more than a normal goggle from like spy or oakley so that doesnt help much either. idk idrc I still fuck with my kit even if the straps on the outside makes it easier to pull them up

Park skiers stopped progressing like 4-8 years ago. Haven’t seems a nbd aside from jump jock tricks. Creativity and true individual style are mostly dead

this is the most retarded take i’ve seen on this website so far
Skiing is fun. Don't hate on people who are doing it a different way than you. The only thing IMO that deserves hate is tiktok skiing and trying to go viral. I wish i never posted a single gram edit but because its the common platform it feels like the only option... kids have for getting their stuff out there. But yeah. They're's hella cringey shit and often times i'm left thinking: I wish I picked up snowboarding instead.
EfterlystWearing Harlaut Apparel, Lead etc. gives poser vibes as long as you're not actually talented
(I still love Henrik though)
Henrik defenitly doesnt fuck with you tho. Anyone who pushes those opinions and successfully convinces someone not to buy his pants he probably isnt too hyped on. If I were a big business guy I would want anyone and everyone to buy my stuff not just people who are "actually talented". If you actually did "love Henrik" you would tell everyone and their mom to buy Shit Kid pants. Gatekeeping doesnt help sell product.

I guess you're one of these posers since you got this hurt ;)
This is a thread for unpopular opinions, which means you just proved my point. I've never told someone what to wear or what to not wear. Wear what ever the fuck you want. I don't care. And IF I did care about what YOU wear, YOU should still not care about MY opinion.
And why the fuck would I have to "tell everyone and their mom to buy Shit Kid pants" for loving Henrik? That's stupid. You can love someone without loving EVERYTHING they do and act like they're a god. And I'm not even hating on his brand. I have the exact same opinion on other brands. Like Thrasher. If you wear a Thrasher hoodie and you just did your first ollie - you look like a poser.
I dont own Henriks pants lol. My point was that Henrik probably doesnt fuck with you if you hold that opinion as a big part of his market probably arnt top teir skiiers. Just like the owner of thrasher probably doesnt fuck with you as he wants to sell T shirts to everyone not just people who can lazer flip.
I just think your opinion is dumb because most the people who keep these types of lifestyle brands afloat are not super talented. Probably means they are just doing a great job at marketing if you associate brands with certain skill levels tho.

The opinion IS dumb. I know it is. And having dumb opinions is what makes opinions fun. Being a "smart ass" and only having the "right opinions" is boring, uncharismatic and not human at all.
But let me define what I meant with "talent": Someone who's not just doing straight air shifty in small jumps and only sliding boxes over and over again. Not doing a nose butter lincoln on flat ground.
And maybe more important: Your skills and your clothes ARE two completely different things and should never have anything to do with each other
snowfinderI hope more posers follow his brand and buy his products and support a skier owned company.
