Robb Gaffney

I just watching High Society (AGAIN!) and thought the Robb Gaffney section was off the hook. That Misty he throws off the cliff is sick and he picks lines I thought un-skiable. What did you guys think, anyone know anything about him?(sponsors, home hill, etc.)

I like his segment. I've heard that a segment he has in another movie is even better.

yea he pulls sweet flips off of cliffs/drops with style


I like palm trees.
I like to ski, but I hate the freakin' cold. Us indian people weren't built for the cold. Why can't ski hills have palm trees?

I just watched his segment in High Society and I didn't see him do a misty. Maybe you're thinking of Scott Gaffney.

There was a really good article about both of them in powder last year, I can't rember what month though, so if you can get that just look through old issues for the article 'Chemical Brothers'

Yeah Robb and Scott are both awesome skiers and really cool guys. Scott threw the misty. If you liked what you saw, you need to go buy 1999, Robb has an amazing segment in it. Robb now lives up the road from me in sacramento.

oh man, 1999 is my favorite ski movie. rob and scott gaffney are both so incredible in it (along with mcconkey, etc). ahh, whata classic movie...... im gonna go watch it now.

You know something that would really make me applaud? A guy gets stuck in quicksand, then sinks, then suddenly comes shooting out, riding on water skis. How do they do that?

That pipe run was awesome and the suit was hilarious. There was a lot of blood in his hair and neck of jacket. I think he smashed his head on one of the cliffs.

It's not real with the baby. I don't remember where, but there's another place that shows him throwing the baby.

OK I got the word straight from the mouth of Robb himself, the baby part isn't real. Looks pretty real though I gotta admit. I don't know what mother would ever let her husband do that with their baby though.

Him and McConkey ski together at their home mountain of Squaw. You should check out the book that Robb wrote about that mountain "Squallywood". I just got it and it has some rediculous lines and other ski stories from all the legends of squaw like Scot schmidt and shane.
and he's got his MD and practices psyciatry i think near truckee

hes a squaw local and a doctor. he gave up his skiing dreams a while ago to go to med school and have a family. if you want to see the whole squaw scene and alot of his skiing find the movie 1999. its still one of my favorite movies of all time

you can buy 1999 and walls of freedom at skimovie.com. You might like that is all lower 48 stuff too and none of that annoying ak stuff where the skier is this tiny little dot.
