Hello.
I find it interesting when people call themselves "big mountain" skiers and what not and try to give me poop for being a park skier, and they cannot ski park. In my experience, i have noticed many kids who cannot ski park to save their lives call themselves big mountain skiers and then try to call me a "fake" skier. OK first off i love to shred the mountain and whatnot, but its so much more fun to hit a park in my opinion. SO WHAT. Seriously i know how to shred the mountain but i find it is a little less entertaining, and when the people who can't ski the park try to tell me i can't ski, well it really tickles my jollies. Basically i want to know why so many people think big mountain is so much harder than park skiing and dis park skiers for being more badass.
ONE LOVE!
p.s no hate intended for the big mountain shredders, just wondering.

cuz skiing to and from/between cliffs requires skill. skiing between jumps and rails doesn't. being good in the air is different from one's actual ability to turn. ur right that park skiers do better outside of the park than mtn skiers do in the park

yes yes i see your points but it seems as i am a park skier that gives all non park skier the right to call me out on not being able to actually ski, without even seeing me ski. I find it quite funny coming from some sucky skiers from where i shred who claim the "big mountain" skier title. pshhh

1. Avalanche danger: You need to manage your slough and stay on safe slopes not a problem in the park

2. Line picking: If you have skied a line that is somewhat legit you will know that there are a ton a variables that you can se such as hidden rocks and what not and its extreamly easy to get lost on a line as well.

3. try stomping a backflip in the park. easy. now try it off a cliff.

this is just off the top of my head i can probibly think of alot more
