DeebieSkeebiesAs someone who lives and dies with skiing the cottonwoods here in Utah,Snowbird is straight up fucking bullshit gimmicks and the vibe is starting to kinda die there.
It's hard to narrow it down but there were some things in terms of logistics and terrain management that pissed me off. You're really gonna fucking close the entire gad valley like in mid-spring when we are having like one of the best seasons in decades? Not to mention it was fucking so annoying seeing them do "control work" on stuff that was clearly good to ski, but wouldn't open up at all except for their fucking bullshit "team riders" and cool insta photos. They would literally hold stuff so it would make for a good social media post.
Ski industry marketing is down right angering
Same garbage happens at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows... Ive legit waited an hour for a rope drop because they had to set up some video footage for Johnny Moseley to prove that his washed up ass can ski things still Meanwhile the snowpack was a solid as ever and patrol claimed it was in dire avalanche conditions.
I'm switching to backcountry and smallville ski areas from now on. The hype resorts are OVER.
yea like if the skier is steezy then he will look steezy riding them, my fav riders rock ON3P it's just when they're chilling on a ski rack the tips and tails drive me nuts.

I skied Snowbird for 15 years growing up and will take it a bit further. The only good things Snowbird ever did was pick the right terrain to build a resort, and then they built a Tram. After that they've been fucking up ever since.

It bums me out. I've been out here for 10 years almost from Michigan and recall this place being like mythical when i first skied it. Can safely say my most favorite times were spent there, but they need to wake the fuck up and cut the bullshit.
Not sure why my post got downvoted. A lip 2 continuing 2 is a completely different trick than a 2 continuing 2. They look different and are different to execute. If someone calls a 2 continue 2 in a game of slvsh they don't mean lip 2 continuing 2.
The two aren't interchangeable phrases, each means a separate thing
open jacket or vest, like unzipped all the way and that shits just flapping in the wind like a cape, looks like shit a huge majority of the time. exception tho is ahmet in partly cloudy. and skis as tall or like an inch taller than the rider in park looks dope. real short like at mouth or chin just looks fucking dumb, personally.

it could just be a local thing where it looks like shit but ive never seen someone do a trick with an unzipped vest and been stoked on it. hopefully one day i will

most of those shots are dope but in like every other shot when the jacket goes like all over the place or like gets on his shoulders landing switch just fucks with the style i feel.

A lip 2 on 2 off is a 2 on 2 off, but a 2 on 2 off is not necessarily a lip 2 on 2 off. Ya know squares and rectangles type shit. Im sure if in a game of slvsh somebody called a 2 on 2 off and somebody did a lip 2 on 2 off they would be fine.

So are we now just breaking down tricks into groups of tricks that some fit under? This is news to me.
So a switch lip 2 on is the same as a lip 2 on is the same as a regular 2 on is the same as a unnatural 2 on is the same as a switch tails 2 on? Come on...

The overuse of butters to make your edit look better.
Don't get me wrong, I love a nice butter here and there, they look sick when used within reason, but recently seen so many edits getting so much hype and they're literally a dude just buttering all over the place over a curb or something and reverting repeatedly (like 3 reverts after landing) with enough afterbang to make you think he just landed a sw dub 10 or some shit. Looks wack imo

- Candide does crazy shit and is super in control but I don't like his style and his butter 3s look like shit.
- Keeshlife >> The Bunch
- Quads are sick

jlens05This isn't an unpopular opinion, it is simply just incorrect.
You don't like someone's oppinion so you claim it not to be a valid oppinion. Nice one ;)
Style is subjective. Thats the whole point of it.
And I knew this was gonna be an unpopular oppinion, thats why I posted it in this fucking threat. I'm not looking for anyones approval. I'm basically one of the few people here who actually posted sth unpopular. lol

Social media sucks, and there are far too many people out there "famous" in the ski world getting free shit because their Instagram pics break 100 likes all the time.
Shit the ski industry in general is fucking annoying
