would u say sw2s are easier or normal 2s?
In my head I feel like sw2 should be easier cause you're facing forward the whole way but when I try it I can't really spin
Dlonettioh you’ve got em they’re chill it’s just a quick turn of the hips try on an easy tube

sw 2s do kinda feel easier now but it wasnt always that way. once i learned the technique for switch 2 i realized its just flipping your hips and your head stays looking at the rail the whole time. kinda have to feel the separation of your lower half and upper half during the trick. regular 2 ons you have to look away during the rotation but im so used to them at that point it doesnt feel hard. now with sw 2s i feel like if I can sw lip something, i can sw lip 2 it.

I kinda got switch 2s my second season of skiing rails but it took another couple years to get forward 2s. I think they're way easier
cool270outAnyone still not skied yet this year? I watch edits and stuff but I just have no desire to ski. Maybe it’s just cuz the skiing around hood is cheeks
I haven't been out as well. I have to drive a few hours one-way to ski a few hundred vertical feet on manmade snow. Really doesn't give me the desire to get out. Going to try and get back over to Utah, Idaho, Wyoming in February and hit the hills I grew up on.

Hit me up if you get out this way, be cool to ski with another NS dad
the guy at steamboat who assaulted the instructor got caught, he's gone from looking like a lobster to looking like a medieval peasant https://denvergazette.com/outtherecolorado/news/21-year-old-arrested-for-alleged-assault-on-ski-coach-at-colorado-resort/article_14b7f67a-d2a9-11ef-b307-63411c953cdf.html
Steamboat is my favorite resort in CO honestly. Vibes are killer, less crowds, towns great, night skiing, killer tree skiing.
The cowboy downhill is one of the few absolutely ridiculous just for fun competitions left and is pretty funny to watch. Where else can you watch a Chinese downhill of rodeo boys and dudes lassoing people while skiing. Shits hilarious

It's so rad dude. I really wanna do their patrol tryouts in the spring.
donjoy is what I have and what all my homies ive talked to have. pretty sure its what the us ski team uses as well. try and get it covered by insurance
Did some skiing this past weekend. I know i love skiing but last few seasons i've gone when it's been raining or pure ice. Forgot how beautiful it is to ski on even just 3 fresh inches of snow. Really reinvigorated my passion again for it.

I get it everyone hates vail as a company or think the mountain is flat, but gawdamn the bowls are incredible when the snow gets deep. Two weekends in a row been blessed by 15 inches plus of blower. Lines were gone past noon. Faceshots galore all the way till close. Skied the beav today. Kinda mid tbh. The lifts had power issues all day.

yeah vail isn't the steepest place but it's mad fun. a few fun cliffs here and there, and the back bowls are fun, especially a couple zones toward the back. def worth exploring plus it's vail, it's a cool place to check off the list and actually have skied there
the storm cycle before this last one me and my friends built a really sick jump in grizzly, we got up late and built for like 4 hours only to have fog come in and have to leave.
we came back a day later and found the landing fully sidestepped. Not even like someone hit it or skied over the landing, a group of people literally side slipped/hop turned all the way down the 40’ long landing. so we said we were going to wait a for it snow again and dig it out, but when it snowed again one of the homies had to work, and the other got a cold and couldn’t get out.
then i see on instagram that giray dadali did dub 10 on the jump before i got to hit it.
obviously he didn’t do anything wrong, but im bummed that i havnt gotten to hit the jump that I built yet.

I’d argue that Vail has the most easily accessible/hittable cliffs of any of the i70 resorts. Although that’s not saying much, Colorado ski patrols (except CB) love to rope off cliffs and rocks that would be wide open in California/Utah/Wyoming/etc.

yeah people hate on it a lot but the first time i was there i easily found several fun cliffs to hit and parts of the back bowls are super fun to explore. also just a dope place to be in general

I guess i’ll go back for it next storm cycle
Wild seeing that jump being hit properly. Doubles are gonna be so light on it. Hoping that jump is still there by the time I return to SLC this spring

east vail is a great place for some noobs to die in the backcountry so i can see why they rope it off. as someone with avy gear and training and an understanding of risk tolerance associated with navigating the side country, im a fan of utilizing gates off lifts. but seeing jerry take his kids through there because the snow looks good on the other side is a concern. i think gates should have beacon checks to open the gates in some areas so people are like ohhh i may not be prepared for this area
