No one wants to look over to a mountain and see a colorful schmear down it.

Leave it white.

my resort paints a huge cloverleaf on one of their hills every st patricks day, but they actually just throw dye everywhere and let it freeze over night

My dad said this place near Jiminy Peak in MA used to do this except with an entire trail. The place closed around 2001 though one I heard.

That was kind of retarded.

I mean do what you gotta do but it's not something I care to see anywhere.

I think the snow looks pretty boss natural.

I thought this was going to have something to do with yellow snow haha.

Was a trippy edit indeed and just enjoyed watching something i guess different.

Based on the preview part they threw in, they had some pretty sick shots. I think the edit will look dope

Some of those shots around 4:30 were dope. I'm interested to see what the final results are.

Would be sick to ski on that, but I'd rather save my gear instead of getting covered in that powder die

^they really failed at that compared to the making of video, constant slowmotion where you can only see their skis is just annoying.

Cool idea they just need to get all the kinks worked out of it because it didn't turn out that great.

This could change the game. Imagine a whole slope course painted a different colour. Flat light would all of a sudden become much less of an issue
