Just skied Woodward pc all day since LCC was fucked. Can confirm kids lace it up and style. Also can confirm they can’t ski into a feature in a way that wouldn’t send them nuclear bucked on some big terrain.

Guilty as charged but you ask a solid park skier to do two jump turns in a 40 degree chute into a small cliff with a bumpy ride out and they’ll shit their pants

not exactly easy landing/taking off switch on a steep ass slope with deep snow/ big ass boulders / trees surrounding you.

ur kinda limited on what u can actually throw on that kind of terrain bud. takes skill to be able to charge that shit top to bottom with no crash.

guarantee you'd shit ur pants just trying make turns at kicking horse on ur 189 wets pal.
