First off as of right now there is no new young generation of true big mountain skeirs and basicly asides the random park skeir here and there that throws a 180 off a cliff and thinks he is the best there is no one in line to fill the shoes of seth morison and other true big mountain skiers. And dont tell me that pep fujas and eric pollard and true big mountai skiers, not that there bad skiers but there not big mountain skiers. They are all around skiers that CAN ski park and Big mountain. I would really like to see a 12 year old kid that just rips Ak lines like morison, nobbis, and davinport. I am tired off 12 year old park wonders, we already have enough of those. We need more big mountain skiers!!! Well that is my rant

There are just so many skiers that are so good. It seems like kind of a crap shoot as to who gets on film and who doesn't.

Also props to Julian Carr and PY Leblanc, dunno their ages but they rip hard. And Eric H is also really good aggressive/fast big mountain and has style in the park. Ryan Oakden/Chris Collins also two mega balls rippers.
Yes you can see Pollard ski some lines on films, but not at the speed/intensity/technicality of what you see the other guys, not saying he can't but he doesn't at least on film. CR is good but nowhere near that level of power.

he actually fucking rips at big mtn, even though he spends more time in the park. i remember seing some pictures a few years ago when he would have been about 11, he was slaying some crazy steep line. hes good.

It's actually pretty easy to get into local freeride comps. A couple friends and I are going to do one of the whistler ones. Granted we're going to get destroyed, but I figure I won't try a fast and fluid line and instead just find the most exposure I can. That's the plan to not finish last anyways

abma for sure, but who gives a fuck if there in the park ever once in a while, i want a skier to kill it everywhere not just the big mountain, your stupid. an all around skier is the best skier. NO ONE WILL EVER FILL IN SETH"S SPOT < NEVER he is a legend.

From what I've seen Kye big mountain he is too small to ski it properly at this point, seems like he has decent technical ability but not amazing or anything.

It's like most of the big wave surfers are in their 30s because it is down to experience. A 12 year old doesn't have the experience to be in a situation that might kill them. Plus their mums probably won't let them

I see CR Johnson ripping up big mountains lately. Also, a 12 year old does'nt have the strength to handle big mountains.
And another thing those little kids can't afford to ski big mountains they have to go to school. So they stay local.
