the ones with the real skills take jibbing in to the backcountry and incorporate into big mountain lines

for the first time i agree with wiener. the ones that can through 7s and shit into the BC and jibbing takes the most skill. like eric did that face totally backwards in SM3, that was cool

big montain/backcountry. Park = look at jump. tuck towards jump. do trick. land or fall. i love the backcountry and powder, and it takes more skill to ski the steepes and the pow.

I think big mountain is definitely tougher technically, but it takes more balls to huck yourself over an icy jump than ski soft pow.

back country takes way more skill, you have to be on your toes for changeing snow pack, you can always se what your skiing over, you have to be able to push are skis to stay in control in deep steep pow. When park riding you preety much have groomed runs with jumpsa, you hit the jump with enough sped and theres nothing dangerous.
I just wanna ski, is that to much to ask in life

nothing dangerous but landing on your head, you can get really hurt in the park

honestly kids... if youre doing exposed lines, regardless of the sofness of the snow, there is potential for real injuy.. theres way more to consider... snow type, stability, line, if any of these things go wrong you could be real dead real quick... ive been way more scared doing big lines than jumping tables...

bg mountain nowadays incorporates park type skiing over every cliff, and hit. I think that the real thing that needs the most skill, is kiing over a patch of ice you can see through

Being Irish, I guess I should resent the Notre Dame nickname 'The Fighting Irish.' After all, how long do you think nicknames like 'The Bargaining Jews' or 'The Murdering Italians' would last? Only the Ironic Irish could be so naively honset. I get the feeling that Notre Dame came real close to naming itself 'The Fuckin Drunken, Thick-Skulled, Brawling, Short-Dicked Irish'

They take different skills. Big mountain is different than jibbing is.
It's like saying whats harder, drums or guitar?

It depends on if your just talking about going down the run, big mtn. is going to be harder, than skiing down a park, but if park includes throwing huge tricks, then it's all different.

thats a tough one...as for physically demanding, neschool takes the cake...spend a day in the park and then another BMing, levels of soreness are not even comparible...unless you eat shit down a rock face or something.

i dont know bout that... some lines are like 50-60º with like death cliffs below and if you fall, your a dead person, not so with park and stuff, you can fall and have a possibility of not dying. but im not saying every big mtn line has fatal exposure.
i hope that was partially understandable

i'm glad to see that the general idea is that big mtn is more technical, it seems like a lot of newschool guys are bashing on big mtn when all they can do is hit up the park. (at least some that i've talked with) But both are hard so respect them both

big mtn hands down! if you fall goin down an exposed line it takes a hell of a lot more skill to self-arrest and stop yourself. jeremy nobis wrote an article on this subject.
take a lot at the stuff jeff holden skis in PARENTAL ADVISORY. some of those lines where easily 60-70 degrees.

I think it takes more skill to do backcountry than to ski the park, unless you consider balls as skill. Personnaly I'm much more likely to rip down a 50 degree slope and launch a 40 footer than I am to huck myself in the park.

Big mtn/BC takes more skill, not just because of the technicality, but also because of the fact that NS is moving out of the park into the BC. I know it's old, but take a look at JP riding 1st gen 1080's in the BC in Warren Miller's 'Freeriders.'

yeah they both require different skills. some people complain that people are no longer true skiers, but instead just ski the park day in and day out. you gotta be able to rock both inorder to be a true skier....taking jibs in the BC is definately the cherry on top.

Park if your throwing tech. tricks for sure... I mean almost EVERYONE can ski a big mountain line but how many can throw a sick 900 or switch 7 over a table?
But if your just hangin' in the park doin a whole lot of nothin' but grabs and basic spins than I'd go with BC (that is if its a crazy mo fo. line.)
