 Poster: A snowHead
|
OK Marcus Caston rips, but this also shows just how fun soft late season groomers are and why April trumps January for skiing: endless edge grip = ripping with wanton abandon.

Nice vid! Quietly pushing that those piste learnt fundamentals translate into everything!!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@letsgetpiste, Yes, well when I say that it's 'my sort of skiing' I didn't mean that I look exactly like that, except in my dreams.  I meant that that's the sort of skiing I think of as fun. You can keep your bumps and your off-piste, just give me a big, wide swoopy piste with perfect snow and nobody else on it apart from me, a couple of friends, and the Ice Babe (see video 3:15)

Love it. Now who did they pay to get empty pistes all to themselves?

I don't think it has to be either-or. Plus it's quite difficult to find Snowbird that empty unless you're connected - I would guess they used the 1st tram (as opposed to the first public tram) to shoot that.

^^ Yep pretty sure they (Blizzard + Freeskier mag) filmed before official opening last April at Snowbird.

It is a great video. In the bit at the end he does talk about it being too hot and them having to stop as it was so hot, the snow was turning slushy and they just couldn't ski anymore. So late season is not always best. It does look like fun though.
