Deep powder tree skiing. Do you like?

ian_provo · 2010-09-27 13:16:49

Tree skiing is one of my favorite aspects of the sport. Its exhilarating, challenging, and dangerous. This video was shot in the untouched, sheltered forests at The Canyons resort in Park City, UT. One of the most memorable powder days I've had there. Who loves swangin through the trees on a pow day?

Carry a little more speed, sounds counter intuitive, but will give u more energy out of ur skis (making them easier to turn) and will help increase ur float making ur skis less catchy and way more manuverable. Personal tips that I use, spot a turn or two ahead and I sing to myself to try to get into a good rythm

Dude I totally feel you. I saw a commercial on TV and they were like, "Do you like action and hot girls??" I began to answer the nice question, but before I could even finish my sentence they interrupted me and said, "Well you would love the new movie Charlie's Angels now available on DVD and Blue Ray!" I was furious with these fuckers! Using the pretense of asking a simple question they slamming some ad in my face! I threw my TV out the window immediately. That'll teach them to be such bastards.

That was a paid advertisement, your comment only strengthens his argument. I'm not complaining about the thread or video or anything, just your efforts to "in your face him"

the thing about the east coast is we get some powder occasionally, as any true east coaster can attest, but the only place you'll find powder within an hour after the lifts open is in the trees. so yes, i love pow+trees. its my element. there is nothing like the deep quiet of the woods as you float silent through the trees.

Ya I've never managed to go off of it because it's so flat. I wouldn't say I've ever hit something that big elsewhere but I'm working up to it. If you see a dude with the same pair of EPs (I have dukes) It could be me! Throw a snowball at the back of my head or something.

You must be fucking kidding me? Did you watch both vids.

Ill admit the first one is a great pow skiing vid, but its so flat it wouldn't matter if he was skiing through active volcanos avoiding bursts of lava and man eating tigers.

Also, watch the second one. He's not pro, he doesn't have a pro set up, but he is skiing steep powder, in the trees, and is sending it fucking huge into treed landings.
