so i have been asking myself this for a while and decide to post so that maybe some of you well traveled skiers could tell me my question is, is the talent pool a key and breck deeper than most places, or do all large resorts boast such a high number of sick unknown skier?

No.
I didn't know that they know each other. It looked at though he was hating on the park.
And no.


Yes, I live in FL. In fact there are like ten people on NS who are from FL.

she lived in colorado most of the winter, she had to go back cause her mom had cancer. doesn't change the fact that she's talking too much about stuff she's not fully aware of.

That may have been a bit harsh what I said, but I do mean most of it, I would like to see skiers killing BC as well, because it's a whole new thing.



and RUSS is a G, and I cannot say I was not impressed by all four sw ups, yadadamean?

I think everyone wants to get spnsored so they can actually have an excuse to drop your social life, drop your school life, and everything else, and that people will actually understand when you say your "Skiin"

At leas that is my thinkin

It has continued to amaze me how many good skiers come out of summit county it is unbelievable. I just started riding keystone this year and i just about shit my pants when i saw how everyone rolled. I think that seeing all of this sick skiing is just inspiration for others to do the same therefor the pool of steezin jibbas is further deepened. My first day at keystone and first run in a51 i saw front flips, double lincolns,switch 1080 kangs, and dumonts double front 720 or whatever that is even though he is sponsered, 450's onto rails and 270s off, or 270 on and 360 switch up over the kink. The list goes on. No were else in the world will there ever be as much talent. When you grow up in colorado skiing becomes parrt of your life not just something your family does once a year, skiing just is a part of your budget. Thats also why the atmosphere is so chill out here everyone one respects everyone because we all know that everyone is out here to have fun not to prove to the world that he or she has more gorilla steeze than the other and should get a fucking oakley sponsorship. Everyone out here is as good as they want to be, let me tell you financially if everyone in summit county had the money to compete in all of the opens and go to summer camps and work on their shred everyday we would all be as good as the pros, some of the kids up here are as good of the pros its just not their dream, they just want to have fun.

Not cool man. You just made me spray milk out of my nose and all over my keyboard.

The talent pool in Summit County is insane. I consider myself a decent skier. Really good at all mtn, B.C. and powder, but trying to ski park at Keystone or Breck is just downright embarassing. I ride A51 just to appreciate the local talent as much as I do it to progress in park. It is just incredibly fun and motivating to ski a park where there are that many talented skiers seshin'.

The majority of the kids you see kiling it at breck and keystone did not grow up there. I'd say that most are east coast/midwest transplants.

why don't you all come to mammoth and tahoe and not spend every single day of your life in the park? Cause thats all i see from those kids in Colorado, not sayin that they don't have the sickest park game..

It is true alot of people grew up in the east, but the guys who make it big all move out west before they are too old, they need the bigger mountains and parks to keep progressing.

this thread i believe was about where the deepest talent pool IS, not where the kids came from.....in this case keystone/breck take the prize along with PC.

what's the point of your list? like 3 people on it are locals, and they;re all known, this thread is talking about the unknowns and up and comers. you could have at least said people who live here, if i was going to make a list like that i can go on too, or i could name one name and destroy yours.
