Different regions producing different styles

Whilst watching the Lowers pro the commentators were talking about Brazilians having much more of a snowboarder influenced style as compared to the Australians and American styles which are much more power driven.

So does different regions produce different styles? I'm not talking about clothing, but actual style.

i feel like region would have a bigger influence in surfing because every single wave is different, whereas in skiing a park is a park is a park. sure, there may be more rail wizards on the east coast and more guys who hit jumps out west. but take two guys who grew up skiing park in different regions and two guys who grew up surfing different regions and i guarantee it's easier to pick out the different regions with the surfers

as far as actual clothing style goes Canada has hipsters with tight pants and flannels, utah has more thugs, out in Europe the style is fairly weird, anywhere with way out west its just patigonia suits

I always think of Scandanavians as having a pretty clinical technical style, might be completely baseless and just in my head...

Seems like a lot of quebec dudes have an weird OG style (dom, bmile, bpaul, sorta ABM and vinny$$). But then you have people from QC like bdog and maude with totally unique styles which is dope too.

skiers from the alps always seem to have a "big" style. Every cliff gets hit at the biggest point they can, every jump hucked super deep. I almost like seeing consistent height/drop more than any specific trick style.

its fairly easy to tell where someone is from in the park, east coasters do lots of swaps and pretzels and west coasters tend to press/spin more slowly. not to say there isn't variety of styles within one park, but locale definitely has an influence

I feel like that goes with big mountains in general that have huge in bounds cliffs etc. People really fucking send shit

Yup, go to Blue or MSLM on any weekend and half the kids look like Cole Drexler just had the garage sale of the decade.

I feel like the guys from the swiss alps are way to serious skiing every day with coaches and shit and they all look like robots, BC those guys straight kill it bringing style to comps, utah is where its at with a bunch of unique styles and types of skiing, colorado = comps and tech not much else, well summit county , midwest has got some different style but are behind everyone else tech wise, east coast has interesting and sick rail game, scandinavia has the best style in the world

Straight kill it with some objectivity next time.

I feel like skiers from quebec have an aggressive style towards rails/jumps. And slay gnarly urban rails.

East coast is more rail oriented but i feel like the EC produces solid skiers that hold up on everything.

Midwest skiers are the rail warriors that can do crazy swaps on urban rails.

And i dont know how to describe the west coast ski scene

I always think of the east as sorta grittier and more aggressive, just like what people always say about skateboarding

Majority of skiers at Blue have a hard on for rockstar stickers. Seriously, so many rockstar stickers
