snowfinderBoys ski park men ski mountains.
partyandBSwith the introduction of foam pits/air bags/water jumps, i think it has deterred some people from pursuing park without access to this facilities. likewise, with events like fwt becoming popular it really makes big mountain feel more attainable than park skiing for the average joe

I see freeriders lining up their 8-15 footers when theres a foot of new snow. But they disappear by 2pm.
and everyone wants to be a freestyler but don’t nobody wanna throw no goddamn trick!!! How many times have we been in the park with friends that ski everyday and they say “ima take it easy today” everyday. How many of you haven’t corked yet even tho you already have been skiing for over 4 years?
every sport can be judged like this its easy. Shallow thread

hi_vis360Sounds to me like you suck at skiing outside of the park
johnblazeTell me you suck at skiing without telling me you suck at skiing.
DollaStoreHumpera good park skier will make an infinitely better big mountain skier than a big mountain skier will make a park skier. look at the transition of literally every park skier ever going to big mountain and doing it way better than any "strictly big mountain skier". you can learn proper ski technique way faster than you can learn shit in the park, kid.
IsaacNW82IMO most of the best skiers haven't really defined themselves as strictly either for the majority of their careers. The greats like Candide and THall have been doing both since like, 2000? And for the record both of those guys started out in moguls lol

DollaStoreHumpergo look at my original post idiot. thall is skiing only backcountry now cause he's a fucking old head and if he hits a park jump his knees and robo ankles will disintegrate. as a young buck he threw down in the park and street, and now as a grown ass man he skis pow. that's proper. he learned shit in the park and moguls (i would argue moguls are basically the park with extra steps) and took it to the backcountry and threw down some of the dopest shit ever. candide is an anomaly, and respect to the goat, but he also was learning tricks in the shit park before going to big mountain bullshit or whatever.

Rock_InhabitantYou clearly don’t know what thall is doing right now. If you watched his movie he was hitting 7s, landing flat and sliding rails in the street. Plus doing a quad backie, and even if it was into power, it was fucking big. And power can’t magically save your knees from the whole impact.
AndrewGravesSVlol tanners last two posts are hitting street in one and park in the other. Also there is a difference between big mountain skiing and building backcountry booters and freeride. Its pretty rare to see more than a 3 or back flip on the fwt and you can be a badass skier only knowing those two tricks.
I'd love to see a team big mountain comp of ex racers vs ex park skiers lol
DollaStoreHumperbro these mother fuckers are deploying dub backflips like its a barbarian in clash of clans, common as fuck.

SlushSeasonMax Palm threw the first ever double backflip on the FWT in 2022. Even 720s are still really rare. A rodeo or flat 3 is more than enough to win if it's part of a great line.
Rock_InhabitantClash of clans bro? You’re definitely a kid

J_Steezalso if you don't think charging alta/snowbird/jackson hole/palisades etc is just as hard on your body as park you're delusional. honestly it's more exhausting...
DollaStoreHumperyeah but dudes who just charge in alta/snowbird/jh/palisades etc could be doing way sicker tricks instead of just pointing 'em in the fall line. don't get me wrong its fun to charge, but you can learn to charge way easier than you can learn lots of tricks in the park. Way more likely that you'll be old and still able to charge through shit than old and able to still throw down in the park. Will it be hard on your body? yes, but not as hard as eating shit in the park over and over while trying to learn shit.

DollaStoreHumperdawg the fwt is new as hell, no shit it took until last year for a real athlete to be in it and throw some cool shit
officechairIs big mountain skiing just regular skiing on a mountain? Someone help me out.
freeballerOP doesn't know the difference between big mountain skiing and powder skiing.

Clark456All your arguments have been stupid and people should ski what they want but I agree that this seems the most fun way to do it. At skiing as a dad seems hype
DollaStoreHumperDear Clark 456,
Thank you for your reply, while agree that many of my points have been rooted in baseless facts, I appreciate your admission that my proposed form of skiing may be the most enjoyable. Hope to see you up on the hill soon shredding park laps and slamming hard until you reach a ripe old age and can get pow turns in and send cliffs with your groms.
Much love and best wishes,
DMoney
Voyage86wait. shouldn’t his groms be slamming in the park?
