One time I cut Mike King's hair into bangs outside of Finley's bar in Nelson at like 2 in the morning. His hair is so curly tho it like bounced up way higher than I intended for it too and looked seriously jacked hahaha. That's one of my fav.
Adler Brau is the finest beer to have ever graced my lips, but ya can't get that unless you're in Switzerland. My favorite beer I drink in the states is probably Olympia.
GrandThingsFavorite or funny Chris Logan story you can tell us?
I have way too many Chris Logan stories to have a favorite but I can think of a funny one off the top of my head.
One time when we were kids this really condescending older lady came up to us at the base of Mount Snow and said to Chris "Just one question, how do you even ski with your pants sagging so low"??
Chris looked back at her and said "Easily. Is it difficult for you to ski with your pants hiked so far up your crotch"??
Her pants were hiked up abnormally high and she got really really mad hahahahaha.
highpeakFirst off thanks for so many fire Level 1 segments and the Big Picture Crew
What's your favorite song?
Shot in the dark, but any chance you'll drop the Big Picture Hoodies Again?
Thank you. I don't really have 1 favorite song but as of recent i've been listening to Basketball Jones by Barry White and Chris Rock a lot. And Big Picture Hoodies are a thing of the past sorry bro!
My buddy Todd A.K.A Terry A.K.A Tone. He's from Calgary, plays on a hockey team called "The Grease Snakes" who lead the league in penalty minutes and scoring. He drinks a barrel of beer a day and smokes more than a chimney and has a heart the size of Alberta.
That I've seen... Tim Durtschi has got a friggen rig on him.
Port Orchard is really sick. Evergreen just built a new park in Lake Stevens I wanna check out. Also, I haven't skated Orcas Island yet but that is on the top of the list.
BEastCoaster207Whats been the best part of being a skier for Rossignol? (I still ski on my old 14’ Slats and I love em)
I've formed some really close lifelong relationships skiing at Rossignol that I will always be grateful for. Also, Rossignol supports me and my projects year after year no matter what I bring to them or tell them I'm goin to do, they're down. I obviously love my 118's but another great thing about Rossignol I've discovered is they make super nice snowboards ha. But hell yeah good question, glad you're still rocking your Slats and thank you Rossi for everything!
themozzebanWhat is your favorite mullet that you have cut.
One time at a Bozeman premiere this kid asked me if I would cut his hair into a mullet onstage when I was singing a poster for him. So we were getting the show rolling and I called that kid up onto the stage and nobody had any scissors so I just cut this dudes hair into a mullet with a dull ass kitchen knife in front of a whole audience going crazy. Then later that night everyone wanted me to cut their hair so I cut like 20 kids hair into mullets on the dancefloor at The Molly Brown. That was a good night.
will we ever see another PWhite x Mammoth park edit? I grew up to watching all the classic Montage edits on repeat when I may or may not of had school to focus my attention to haha, love how your skiing has evolved of course but it's always dope to revisit your roots!
dylansiggersdo you have your own stock car and if so what is it and how fucking fun is racing stock cars
I don't anymore but I used to. It was an old 1980's Monte Carlo with a stock 350 Chevy small block engine. My brother bought it from a pawn shop in Belgrade for like a thousand bucks. My brother and I raced dirt track. I was the worst racer on the track with probably the worst car, but yeah it was absolutely exhilarating haha.
patagonialuke(1) What specific factors go into the perfect mullet?
(2) FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE MAKE ROSSIGNOL MAKE A NARROWER VERSION OF THE BLACKOPS 118 (and never let them change the 118)
There's only one essential ingredient to a good mullet and that, my friend, is sheer pride.
I've been trying to get Rossi to make a 108 or 110 underfoot blackops ski for years. Like an exact version of the 118 but scaled down. It was looking like we were actually going to get it but now with the whole world being flipped upsidedown by Covid-19 who knows. But believe me man you're preaching to the choir! Also, if anything changes with the 118 no-one will be more upset than me.
pokermanHow is your project with freedle coming along?
Filming for that is all done now but it was dope! We had some really sick trips planned for April that obviously didn't happen but all in all it was a really good year. The Project is called "Nothing" and our insta handle is @nothing_confidential check that out!
SitYo thanks for all the segs and making the black ops!
Which shot of yours were you most stoked about at the time?
Aaaand now you and Forest are riding together again you gonna go on an urban trip with him?
One of my favorite shot's I've ever filmed was the Venus Flytrap on the quarterpipe in my After Dark seg.
And as far as Urban Trips with Forest goes haha.... I don't think so man. Hopefully he and I ski a lot more backcountry together tho. He was in Baker for like three weeks or something this year and absolutely crushed. We had so much damn fun shredding together so hopefully we get to do more of that.
sami_ortliebhow much longer till you get a mini horse?
My Goal is by 2025. I also recently discovered mini cows which are potentially even cooler than mini horses because they make milk. I gotta get some property first tho and potentially rescue 8 to 10 pitbulls. Hope all is well Sami! Give all of Glarnerland my best, miss you bud.
BigPurpleSkiSuitCan we expect to see you doing stunts for any upcoming films?
None other than my own. I just barely got my toes wet in the stunt world and have sort since of put it on the back burner. It's a full time job that requires around the clock training and big lifestyle changes (like living in a city). I have a lot of respect for the whole stunt community and maybe one day I'll be more involved in it but for now I've still got a lot more skiing to do.
VoonderkinWhats the gnarliest run at Baker that you've checked off in your opinion?
I skied "The Womb" this year after it was already totally scraped to ice. It was gnarly because my skis were too long to go sideways in it so I kinda had to do this like sketchy diagonal straight line slide through it haha. Then I hit a really nice cliff out the bottom of it. I actually GoPro'd that run but accidentally dropped my go pro under the lift on the next ride up and when I skied down to get it someone had stolen it. If someone reading this has that Gopro no hard feelings but please get in touch with me and give it back!

runjoyAny clue/idea on where the Baker-Road-Gap-James is nowadays?
Some say he lives under the bridge before the roadgap, others say he hides in the beer freezer at Grahams only to be seen hitchhiking up on midweek powder days. I for one think he's probably in prison somewhere but honestly have no idea.
JAHBRADORWhat’s the worst thing about being a pro skier?
I aint complaining... but I guess one thing, in my own life, is it makes it tough to have a dog. I really love dogs. If I traveled less I would have a dog. Maybe one day.
killa_treesI've always been curious to hear about your time shooting with stept as well
I would always just kind of shoot with Stept if we were all hanging out around the same area because I knew those dudes from back east. It was never that pre-meditated or anything just casual. But yeah those guys are sick... and really gnarly haha.
zero*Like most pros, your body is clearly your temple. What is the Parker White diet and workout plan?
I eat wild game, cheese, maple syrup, eggs and vegetables everyday. That and chips and salsa. I drink water, coffee, and beer. Recently, at night I have a bowl of Acme espresso ice cream with a shot of whiskey in it as a treat. If I want to exercise I just hike up a mountain or go skateboarding.

JupitahJoshHave you caught the glacier dirtbike virus?
Whats the process like when your about to send something big (especially if chris logan isnt around to hit it first)?
Last, got any crazy sarge stories from this season?

Naww, not really. I have enough "ings" without dirtbiking but it probably is fun. I definitely prefer when Darhk is there ha, but I just stare at things for a really long time and just visualize over and over again in my head it happening perfectly until it is imprinted in my brain. At the top of the inrun I get really quiet and focus on my breath. Then when I drop in I don't really think about anything at all, it just goes blank and your body automatically does whatever reflex you visualized for it.
I'm not sure I have one story in particular but that guy was the most stoked person on the hill every single session we had together. I don't know anybody as motivated or contagiously stoked as Sarge. McCarthy is the friggen man.
blackops98How come you can’t get ROSSIGNOL to make a dope park ski??? The black ops 98 is my daily but I’m talking a center mounted 88 or 90 wide with a ton of camber... ski boss and Evan raps had the SCRATCH....
That 98 is a dope park ski I dude! But if that aint tickling your fancy I'm pretty sure Rossi still makes the Scratch and its 86 or 87 underfoot. Hope this helps.
IanAvery-Leafwill we ever see another PWhite x Mammoth park edit? I grew up to watching all the classic Montage edits on repeat when I may or may not of had school to focus my attention to haha, love how your skiing has evolved of course but it's always dope to revisit your roots!
Dude! We had planned to go back to Mammoth this spring to film for "Nothing" but it was canceled for obvious reasons. The park crew was going to build us a special feature and we were going to have some really special guests. Hopefully next year, mammoth spring park is one of my absolute favorite places to ski. Now get back to your schoolwork!

Thanks for the reply g. Last question, is shorts just gonna be an insta single or will we be seeing a full release on streaming platforms, also any thoughts on a full mixtape/album?

Shorts is just an insta single but my Handle on Rapchat is Titey White. I got like 3 tracks on there.
Thomasarivkin1What did you do after high school? And what are some of the best decisions you have ever made? And worst decisions?
After Highschool I moved to Mammoth to pursue skiing. Best decisions I have ever made have all had to do with facilitating things into my life that were good for me. Like skiing, Skateboarding, being in the mountains. Bad decisions always seemed to revolve around drinking or partying or running my mouth. Sometimes bad decisions are fun at the time but they got a real funny way of always biting ya in the ass.
also if you reply again, what was the gnarliest thing you've done *on purpose*?
**This post was edited on Apr 23rd 2020 at 3:40:31pm
I dunno that photo hasnt loaded but probably.
On purpose... I think hitting that Sun Valley Jump from Eye Trip. The speed would change every time because of the rotorwash of the helicopter and there was a channel cut out of the middle of the landing so if you didn't carve side to side properly you were dead. It was actually a really sick jump. But I'm not sure I would hit that again...
