FaunaSkisTricks on jumps don’t count unless they’re grabbed/tweaked (with the exception of a no movement zero)
Not only is that unpopular, it's wrong. A trick is a trick with or without a grab. That's why it's called a trick. If your saying a triple Frontflip isn't a trick, it's an aerial, that's straight up wrong. Every single trick an aerialist can do is beyond your capabilities.

Of course they’re tricks. I’ll clarify, It’s more a point of saying I wouldn’t count having a trick down unless you can do it with a grab.
The point about dub and trip fronts being aerials is just a joke, When trips first came out, the joke was that skiing is now aerials and it was a continuation of that. They take work, risk and effort like any other trick.

buyfulltiltsTrue lol, skiing is a white people sport and the park rats always tried so hard to make it “gangster” bih there ain’t no gangsters in the mountains #thataintgangsta
Homie at the local city hill shreds in a many-xl hoodie from the sketchiest strip joint in the dirty part of the city. That’s pretty much the definition of pimp I think? Pretty sure the dude has a gold tooth. Haha.
the people that drop serious cash on Powderbirds heli/cat skiing in Utah are fucking retards. However much it costs to get a few couple-minute laps for a day could go towards an actual hut/cat/heli skiing trip for a week with tons of great skiing, but hey rich people are known for spending money on dumb shit.

isn't that the same company that tried to start heli skiing on the east coast lol
AndbrerBeginner skiing lessons are a waste of money, your friends can show you how to put a boot on, put your weight onto the front of the skis and snowplough in about 30 minutes, beginner ski lessons sliding around the flat with one ski on is a waste of time and money
Can confirm. UNLESS we are talking children’s ski school. A lot of kids benefit from learning from an instructor. And some definitely don’t! But I definitely agree that adult beginner lessons are pointless.

I wouldn’t have the fundamentals and abilities I have today without ski school throughout my youth. Idk about adult beginner lessons tho

Yeah. My dad tried to teach me and it was awful so I didn’t ski for the longest time. I think if I had been in ski school as a kid, I probably would’ve had a much more positive attitude and started skiing earlier!

i (agree &) think one of the main points of kids ski school is to be apart of a group to get them interested
learning new activities is usually better in a group setting, and allows for people to learn from another and partake in new/different types of drills

This. The amount of parents coming up to the desk after giving up keeps me employed.

DeebieSkeebieshonestly fuck social media skiing, social media skiers, and anything that has to do with that. You all take this shit way too seriously.
Are you talking about the pro skiers who post a lot on social media?
Because some of those guys are the ones who are literally making money just to ski, and they don't give a shit about what you think of them because they are the ones who are flying to NZ in the summer with that social media money instead of working landscaping so they can camp in a tired ass subaru and poach windells.
WeeScottishCatsWhen did not fully landing your trick become cool? About 99% of people posting a "butter" or "swivel" landing are full of shit and simply couldn't finish their rotation.
Also Line skis belong in the trash
Line skis are good for spring rock skis when there isn't full coverage
But yea they r kinda sht

I’ve only ever seen like maybe 4 mute grabs that I’ve liked and one of them is JP Auclairs backflip. I can’t remember the rest. Mute is cool when tweaked with a proper trick but 95% of the people who do them make them look lame and awkward.

Tweaked lead mute is honestly the only good mute. Trailing mutes are kinda ugly.

I think a lot of it is how you bend your body, a lot of mutes are just pulling up your knees, and thats just weird.But if you actually put effort to bend down stuff, there not terrible.
