1) Follow cam yourself in mammoth
2) Do a tree jib at Northstar (I.E. Candide in WAR)
3) Take a sled trip in Whistler backcountry
4) Hit a 50 footer at Jackson Hole
5) Do the A51 wooden tree stall
6) Hit the big column rail in Breck (think Jiberish edit)

That's all i got for now---what's your must do list?

dude, i'm skeptical on the possibility of #13, that's a pretty short stairset..

and #14 is pretty much my dream.

I have skied and surfed in the same day several times.  Mt. Baldy has legit terrain, it's not Jackson or Squaw, but it has some pitches that maintain maybe 35 degrees for 1500 vertical.  Many years the good stuff does not open, but this year it was for much of the year.  I go to Mammoth every other weekend, but this year was great, because every weekend I did not go up I could ski some good, slushy steeps at Baldy. 

Baldy is only one hour from Newport Beach, so I have skied until 3, then gone back and gotten a spring evening session at Newport many times.

The first time I surfed/skied in the same day was mountain high and shitty waves, so it was just to say I did it.  This year I got some fun slush lines down to the parking lot at Baldy, and then pretty good surf in Newport.

I have yet to get a powder day and Baldy AND surf, that would be awesome.

Can you surf/ski in Oregon?  I would imagine that would be another place to do it.

how could it be scary.  the bbq is smooth as hell. when rainbow rails are set up right, it barely feels like you are grinding, it feels like you are gliding,.

giant rainbow, they originally made it so it could hook up to propane and light on fire, it's in yearbook (probably in the trailer if you youtube it).

damn that thing is scary! i wouldn't even hit a rainbow that was smaller than that and not on a hip at northstar, my friend did though, and got pwned, nutted and wrapped up like a crunchwrap supreme, but he wasn't good to go.

for the the bbq rail, i would be scared to lose my nuts. as for the dfd the transition from the first down to flat is super sketch, seems like it was welded badly or something.

for one you need to work at a ski resort at least once, then dress really retro and find some 210's and huck backflips with them in a one peice snow suit, and then try and load onto a char switch.

anyone who includes rails in their "must do" skiing list before they die, you really should step outside the world of terrain parks.


I think lining up at 6 am on a powder day at KT 22 at squaw should be on every skier's list.\
