Side jumping is really not that bad as long as you’re not cutting people off. While side jumpers do seem more likely to do dumb stuff, there’s not really a problem with someone competently riding through the park and just jumping off stuff. I do take issue with people who can barely ride and fall on the takeoffs though that shit is annoying

There was a snowboarder yesterday who rolled over the slushy rail lip and made a huge divot where everyone was taking off. That was kinda annoying

for sure annoying, i just see it as a competence issue rather than a side jumping issue. Like if you wanna learn, go hit the rookie park or go hit some sidehits first
Say what you want about jiberish they still get their team together way more often than a ton of other brands, definitely seems like a cool company to ride for
It's better than anywhere else I've skied locally (haven't been to woodward or pcmr). But yeah the middle park right above snake consistently sucks
The one under majestic is fine and i think the jumps are the right size, but i wish they had a second set of jumps at the bottom of the park instead of 4 at the top
Just finally been at my job long enough to have pto saved up for the season and working extra hours all winter for more time off. Plus I work in a government office so can pretty much take off whenever
Rock_InhabitantHow can you travel much to ski? You’re always in a diff place
MaimHelpLots of skiers ski for the wrong reason and you can see it in their clips/edits
Also, people who quit skiing as they grow up should be missed but not necessarily dissed. Taking a season off was the best thing I ever did
I feel bad for people who get burnt out on a sport they did as a kid. I did in a sport and know many others. The competitive environment isn’t good for enjoyment.
ankSkiing down a set of stairs isnt a trick and is stupid
Neither is urban straight air drops. I swear to god, watching kids try to swag out a 6 foot drop with a safety is too much. Congrats, you can ski properly

catching transition on stairs can be cool and I would consider being a trick. Just skiing down stairs I would say is more friends just dicking around and having fun doing dumb stuff so I am all good with that as well, but I would agree that it isn't a trick.
If you’re doing straight airs in the street it better be really big or really steezy in some unique way

FlwrsStreet parts where they ski a lot on concrete and „off snow“ are fucking stupid. Dont wanna see you sliding down a roof on your skis
nah street videos are much more interesting when there's a variety of spots and not just rails. Roof drops can be very cool. A good example is the one in the daycare video.
But of course Patrol Unionization is getting taken-over by rich kid ski influencers. And it don't mean shit either because the holding companies won't recognize the votes to win. But keep bragging I guess? Some of us are tired of paying out-of-pocket to seek out further education and seeing people fucked-up on the hill.
Hahaha i knew that was coming and i know not a lot of people feel the same. I just enjoy skiing on snow a lot more. Still big respect to the street guys tho
Farmville420Finally a real hot take that I disagree with wholeheartedly. Too many popular opinions in here
just realized this - another reason why skis are superior to snowboards is because when they stop/slow down, they allow you to stay in one lane. pizza, hockey slide both keep your same lane of travel and you are not endangering anyone else.
snowboarding on the other hand often causes the boarder to move about the trail, which could be dangerous and is also not steezy.
you might be saying "oh yeah well that's just for beginners, beginner skiers take up space when stopping too", but this thought was prompted by the average crowd at PC? thread that was just posted. look at all the skiers, able to slow down without changing course of direction, while the snowboarders (who are obviously not beginners and most likely pretty good), need to take up a few more feet of width. in crowded scenarios like that it's just weak.
i'm baffled why anyone would think snowboarding is superior to skiing in any way (except safety in regards to crashing -your feet won't be trashing around). not a style or coolness observation.
I find it hilarious that so many newcomers to snowsports pick snowboarding despite it being much harder to get around on. Fine by me though!

My 154cm snowboard takes up a lot less space when I stop than my 186cm ski's. Anyone who can actually snowboard can rotate from the fall line to a heel side stop without turning.
