Someone asked "Where's JF", THis is what happen.

You have to ski powder if you want to ski for life. Parks will only be a fad in your life. JF has lost his drive to ski everyday because he was no longer progressing. When you stop progressing at a sport you start to look for other sensations in the sport to motivate you. If there is no sensation then you give up. 720's over 80 foot tables don't do it for JF any more. He's been there done that over and over and over. Switch over a 120ft cap is out of his reach. He is behind times now and is wondering what to with his life. This will start happening more and more to big pro's unless they learn to ski powder. But if you have been labled as a pro skier and you can't ski pow than it's going to be extremely unmotivating to ski when your being heckeled by all the people that watched you in the movies and read about you in the mags. This is why you will start to see park pros quiting skiing as soon as there time is up. If want to ski for life then learn to ski pow. My dads still skies pow at 70.

''JF has lost his drive to ski everyday because he was no longer progressing.''

Yeah...I forgot that unnaty 7s on some huge-ass BC booters 3 years ago in Session 1242 are totally unprogressive. You're right, JF's the most unprogressive skier out there.

sno-man yr brain must be frozen,
Let people do what the fuck they want, Anyone that
ripped it up as much as JF, would not get bored of
the sport he did so well in, if he does decide to tone things down in his everyday life thats his own buisness, Its easy to talk shit about people,
When its time to go big He could still do it even when he is 50 yrs old cause its a talent that you don't loose
a skill which you don't & will never have.

You know Im barely hanging on to my self esteem here. What sno-man thinks means the world to me...sniff sniff.

And P.S. Regardless of whether or not park skiers will get weened out, the only reason powder skiers are the ones talkin shit is cause they ain't got shit on the park skiers in the park.

Sure these kids may not be able to ski powder, so you critisize them for not being skiers. But as CR once said, the future of skiing isn't going to be a park skier or a big mountain skier, the true skier will be able to do it all.

Let's suppose for one minute that this dude is right and JF quit skiing because he got too old for the park.

So what. You think powder skiing is better. I personally don't. (I can hear you all gasping at my blasphemy.) It's the truth, the park challenges me a lot more than skiing pow does and I get bored with powder.

Maybe he doesn't ski any pow because he doesn't like it.

Or maybe he quit skiing because he got bored with it. It happens. People burn out, even when it's something they love, after they have to do it day after day after day as a job. And what do you care if he quit skiing because he doesn't ski pow. He's not obligated, he can quit any fuckin time he wants. You try to make it seem like he quit because he couldn't figure out how to handle himself in powder. Which I'm REAL sure (sarcasm note for the idiots) is what actually happend.

JF quit because, although he's a killer in the park, he can't figure out what to do with himself in powder.
