ON REAL POWDER ON REAL MOUNTAINS WITH REAL HUMANS AND REAL EARTH!!! KIDS THAT SLAY PARK ARE JUST A BUNCH OF BUTTHOLE SURFING FAGGOTS ANYWAY! THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT SKIING IS!


seriously, FUCK YOU. I'll admit a lot of people ski park because it cool or whatever, but maybe its because they have no option to ski powder or just *gasp* genuinely fucking enjoy it.

Ha Caps Lock, you tell 'em!

But seriously, powder is great, and I love to go huck cliffs when there's a fresh foot +, but powder is really tiring.  I can only do a couple runs before I'm sweating (powder shots keep my face cool though).  Also, I always lose my skis in powder and have to take like 15 minutes finding them.

Flying through the air on a perfect park jump is just as much fun as floating through powder.  /opinion.

I in no way disagree with you. That still doesn't warrant mrstskier's repulsive generalization and rejection of park skiing in altogether because... the landings are smooth?

saying that park skiing takes no skill is so arrogant and wrong. saying that the only competition that takes "real" talent is Red Bull Cold Rush is laughable. Jon's event may have a horrible judging method, but the level of skill and athleticism displayed there is mind boggling.

The reason its called free skiing, is because you can do what you want. if you see someone chilling in the park on a pow day, get over it. If you dont like a comp that is just park, dont pay attention to it.

And this just spining/flipping onto perfectly smooth landings, lets see you do it. once you can, you can decide if it takes any skiing skill or not.

And if the landings weren't perfectly smooth, you would probably be bitching about that too

Are you just butthurt coz team America didn't win?
Why would the judging matter to you anyway?
I like the comp coz you get to watch cool edits.


Yes, cold rush is cooler, but still, JOSS wasn't a bad comp at all.

Do yourself a favor, stop trollin'.

its posts like this that ruin the reputation of skiers as a whole. while i do agree that red bull cold rush is a way cooler comp than joss, you cant say that joss is not a good comp. joss progresses park skiing just as much as cold rush progresses backcountry skiing, and you cant say that big mountain is better than park. its all passion and love for the sport, just different types of the sport. i've spent alot of time observing this newschoolers vs tgr's for years, and i think i'm a pretty good representative of both websites- i'm a 16 year old that loves to ski in the backcountry. i would ten times rather spend a full day of hiking to get one run of powder turns than ski a day in the park, but thats just what i love, and i have plenty of friends that spend everyday sessioning a park that beats the shit out of them everyday but thats just what they love. maybe i'm just rambeling, but basically why cant we all except that as long as you love what your doing, and your putting 100% of your heart into whatever type of skiing your doing, then your doing it right.

Every sport needs its seminal events. Without major events like JOSS, etc, skiing would just trundle along year after year, without the sponsor money to help it grow financially, or without the stoked kids to keep it alive.

Come out from your under your rock of narcissism, hater

THIS!!!!

Whether you ski BC or park, people are slaying, from little kids to full blown pros. No need to hate.

Park skiing has revolutionised the way that kids look at skiing, bringing the image from being un-cool where snowboarding was the thing to do, to skiing now being looked upon as the cooler sport to be good at. This has in turn generated more interest and brought in more money to the sport which has helped it to grow.

BC skiing has always been there, but since park skiing became such a huge phenom and coverage and interest has grown the BC stuff has progressed and progressed, and new equipment has been pioneered  such as the fat RC skis.

The pros who are now combining the two, pulling park tricks in the BC are the ones who are pushing the sport. Yes, seeing dub corks are impressive, let alone trips, but to do it off natural features is just crazy.

To sum up. Don't hate, life's too short.

peace
