Otw out to jackson hole rn and doing a ski demo because i am wildly unprepared as far as skis go. If anyone has any recs from this list on a midfat- wide ski that is soft and surfy let me know— will have line chronics with me for the park. Thanks Fellas

Kore 99
Bentchetler 100

Yeah corbets is soo easy. I did it on my first try with no practice or warmup. It was actually the first time I landed my signature trick where you pop out of your skis and cruise down the gulley on you back with mad sty

I would recommend doing a little research on mogul skis if you plan on really tearing up Corbet's.

corbets was closed so i blew out my knee on a 5 foot or so cliff drop right into a 2 foot tall tree that you couldn’t see before you were in the air. on the bright side i think i laced up my first dub 5 on my way to landing on my head (thanks mips)
