BigPurpleSkiSuitI wonder how long these take to edit.
Farmville420If they don't open central this weekend I'm gonna be pissed
SteezyYeetersame. and how much skiing he's actually doing, can't be a lot. and how stupid his dumb ass looks sticking a gopro in the snow to fill him putting on his skis.
BigPurpleSkiSuitHe's not a bad skier, just trying to make money off it, clearly he is developing an audience.
nCrowCopper kinda sucks right now

SteezyYeetertips for switch 180s?
Slowbrobe patient and make sure to clear your noses before spinning. It's easy to prespin and catch a tip switch spins because your body is already twisted to the side from looking over your shoulder. 180 is easy tho, if you can 3 you will learn switch 1 and 3 no problem
Thegenericskieranyone know how the 2 free days at grand targhee work with a bridger pass?

profa_212Exactly. Switch ones and threes are much easier because you spot the landing the entire time and never have to flip shoulders
TOAST.as a member of a park crew I find that to be one of the lamest IG accounts. People with the PCHY stickers are also lame.

CowboySkibopPCHY heads are on that dopesnow energy tbh
SlowbroThere are snowboarders at my hill with “spray skiers” stickers and none of them ever spray anyone
muffMan.I got a few days in with it, just go up to the ticket window and show them your card.
Targhee is a sick mountain
Thegenericskiersickk, a few buddies and i and adventuring down on Saturday
mikemGGGGGGG-FLEX
CoolChillGuy420I've been told about WEST SYSTEMS G/flex epoxy resin. WEST SYSTEMS G/flex 650 is a toughened, versatile, liquid epoxy for permanent waterproof bonding of fiberglass, ceramics, metals, plastics, damp and difficult-to-bond woods. With a modulus of elasticity of 150,000 PSI, it is a bit more flexible than standard epoxies and polyester, but much stiffer than adhesive sealants. This gives it the ability to make structural bonds that can absorb the stress of expansion, contraction, shock, and vibration. It is ideal for bonding dissimilar materials. It can be modified with WEST SYSTEM fillers and additives and used to wet-out fiberglass tapes and fabrics. Mixed at a 1:1 ratio, this 2-part epoxy gives you 46 minutes of pot life at 72°F and an open (working) time of 60-75 minutes. It reaches an initial cure in 3 to 4 hrs and a workable cure in 7-10 hours before I ski for the weekend. It's pretty interesting stuff.
muffMan.I hate him as well, I watched a bit of his loveland opening day to see how it looked.
He bitched about not getting a free media pass because he’s a “vlogger”. Dude thinks doing some dumbass video makes him special, I imagine he’s making that day pass back easily as well.
Thegenericskiera snowboarder impersonating a ski patrol
Lenny-How so?
ThegenericskierSnowboarder had a ski patrol jacket on
ReturnToMonkeyGot to the mountain with 30 minutes til close and park crew let me hike rails and extra 30 minutes after close. What homies. Got a sw2p2 which is one of the coolest feeling tricks I've done
Lenny-Like the one from the mountain or this?
DlonettiNew ski day today, fedex needs to hurry up
nmwninjartWhat did you get?
DlonettiSw2s are fun but I prefer continue 2, just feels so smooth
ThegenericskierA red and white cross jacket that had no branding. Dude was getting chewed out as I slid under a rope a few feet from patrol
SchizoSkierI’m hoping they have an actual park up before next week when I come home for break. Purg is kinda fun rn but they only have like 6 features up
Lenny-Huh, after reading through my mountains rules and policies (first time ever) I dont see anything restricting the way I am allowed to dress. So I can assume I could wear that and ski patrol wouldn't be able to say anything about it. I wonder how many mountains actually have that rule in place.
partyandBSpretty sure there’s state laws about impersonating employment particularly in the medical realm. there are likely rules about wearing competitors uniforms on property as well. i think i heard last year there was some dude wearing an old patrol vest at copper and someone got hurt and there was some dort of search for the guy in the vest after. he tried to administer care or some shit. that supreme jacket is an industry nuisance for sure
nCrowThe differences in marketing strategies between 1000 skis and Simply is very interesting to me
TOAST.I've definitely seen ski instructors wear their uniforms at competitor mountains, which has to be the most ski instructor thing to do.
cool270outElaborate
nCrowThey are very similar brands to me in that they're both new rider-owned Euro companies with small teams that make unique and instantly recognizable skis. But 1000 seems to be focused on Instagram and Tiktok and the going viral on social media style of marketing, while Simply is producing more creative and artful content that definitely resonates with me more and actually makes me want to try their skis. Just my opinion, but Simply's brand aesthetic has a way cooler vibe to me while 1000 just feels like a cringey social media brand sometimes.
hi_vis360Hard agree here. What’s funny to me is how similar simply and season are, like they make similar skis that look almost identical, have similar marketing, rider owned, etc
