As a racer said this morning.

I was the only non-racer for the first ice-filled hour at Beartooth Basin and while waiting in line I heard this gem from one of the racer kids.

I've heard 'like what do you do when there isn't moguls I don't know where to turn' before

That has to be a joke right?
My dad actually loves making perfect mogul turns down the side of big open groomers even without a single mogul

Nope. I skied with an old friend from hs and we were talkin about goin to the other side of the mountain to show him some freshies and some of my fav hits. To him, the bumps were what skiing was.

But he was also on some bullshit lil mogul toothpicks and was tomahawking in deep spots so that could've been part of it

At my local mountain the racers seem to like park. at least side jumping, cutting people off, and just being super annoying

At my local the race coaches decided to run slalom gates over the knuckles and landings of our only jumps 🤠

Its a shame park skiing doesn’t have the power and influence of racing. I would love to see some side hits built up on trails instead of race gates

For sure my hills crew got enough snowmaking money from management this year for a 3pack of 20-40ftrs but management wouldn’t let them push a 35-40ft at the end of the line and just left the snowmaking mounds up the rest of the season. So fucking annoying to me. My seasons pass is 1,000-1200$, the park crew gets a pretty small budget considering the size of the resort, and we have tons and tons of rails I counted one day, and there’s over 70 features and they use maybe half that

These bigger corporations really are killing park skiing. Idk where you ski but vail is pushing back my local park and supporting racing just because it makes more money for the resort

it is good to see woodward keep pushing park and building some of the sickest features ever

Reminder that to racers “freeskiing” literally means just skiing groomers, not park trees etc

Yeah this is what they meant. At Beartooth, there's no park, no trees, nothing. Also no groomers. So there it's like small/moderate fwq terrain

I would get bored of side jumping rails and 50/50ing flat boxes after 15 seconds.

Some people will just never get it.

I don’t get bored when I ski. I stop for the day when I do because I don’t wanna be so tired that I fall asleep driving home in the dark.

I should've but I would've been mobbed by 50 rambunctious preteens with razor sharp edges. Plus, I saw them try a few. I didn't need to ask if they could 3

Some random homies started helping me out with digging in some rails and we needed wax so one yelled to the race kids if they had wax in any of their bags we could borrow. The look of horror on some of their faces when they saw the wax would be put on the rail was priceless

I sure hope so cuz literally the whole point of freeskiing is to make the mountain your playground. So many opportunities to have drastically different runs each time.
