DlonettiI've heard it was more of a snowboard park and hadnt been up there since the take the rake event happened. Did you go? How was it
I ended up staying home cuz their ig said that only Valhalla was open. love Valhalla but tomte goes hard if ur just tryna work on a couple specific tricks…. Plus I didn’t feel like makin the 2 hour drive and I woulda got there kinda late
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that freeride skiing/snowboarding is now an official sanctioned FIS event. I felt the same way when they announced slope + pipe being Olympic events too but it has been cool to see locals, personal friends of mine, and favorite riders compete in them, so thats worth something. Henrik shouting wu tang on NBC never gets old.
I just don't think freeride should've gone this route. It doesn't make sense. Just please keep the core fun principles of it alive and not turned into World Cup Downhill vibes. Freeride stands out purely due to the vibes at the top start gates and finish corrals. But it would be cool to see 20k+ drunk euros going wild at the bottom.
And Red Bull needs to up their fucking game and bring back Cold Rush, let skiers compete in Natural Selection, and put on more cool freeride-y shit for us skiers. Stop spending money on Andri Spagettis bullshit videos like "Yo Im gonna do a backflip and then ski into a train thats stopped"

when you guys get new skis do you use them right away or wait until your old pair is unrideable. Prolly only apply to park riding but maybe not. I have a pair of new wets mounted up, and even though my current wets have a fair amount of edge/base damage I could easily get a few months out of them still. All my friends be telling me to bust them out though

Started skiing my new park skis on the mountain right away cus they were so fun and used my old ones to hit PVC tubes/street/rocks
I respect snowboarding but sometimes snowboard products go so annoyingly overboard on the edgy branding, genuinely surprised it's still like this in 2022.

BradFiAusNzCoCaI want to detune my Fauna Omni’s more, maybe change the base bevel, but I don’t want to lose grip all mountain because they’re also fun to actually ski on. Struggles.

Old guys that board two weeks a year have not progressed past 2008 aesthetics
Back in Colorado and there's actually snow everywhere. Perfect for skiing some urban. I love that I can't ski any of it and didn't even bring my ski stuff
The fact that every park skiing tutorial out there says to learn jumps on side hits outside the park first seems to reflect a lack of good beginner features available in most terrain parks. I still say every park should have a row of just wedges to flat on the side. Seems like a low effort feature to put up and it would stop kids from hitting all the rail "jumps".
piss_boywould brands have anything to loose by selling singular pieces of equipment? Singular skis, singluar heels to a binding etc
What would Look lose by actually working with CAST? I just what to be able to do the second ski kit on a pair of new heals with out paying out the ass for it.
Skied reverse sidecut skis for the first time today. They were awesome in the few powder stashes I found, and they were miserable pretty much everywhere else
DlonettiGoing up to Mt. Bohemia this week and am so excited. Ready for a break from park skiing after hitting it really hard so far this season
Hyyype, I was just up there, snow should be good cuz I think they got a couple more inches. Was a lil packy cuz it was like 35 when I was there but with temps lower now it’ll be good
