Whoever does think Madonna Liftline isn't the hardest marked trail in the east needs to just watch that video. And those conditions were the best I've ever seen that trail in.

Why do people do the lamest trick in the book - butter - right after they get off the lift or right before the lift line? Especially the one at the beginning of the video! That was gaper!


I know. The guy was pretty old too.

Different kind of stoke. If I could even be a quarter this good I'd be happy with that.

Awesome that it's not POV IMO. You guys really like POV?

Yea, I tried change the title afterwords, but to no avail. I should have named it "Stoke inducing videos" or something to that effect.

A couple POV that I forgot about. Not great video but a nice stoke. Uneditted too. In last video at 0:06, you can hear an "ouch". I took a tree trunk or branch to somewhere.

And if you want video stoke, you should have this page bookmarked.

Lots of crazy lines and really good skiing! Every time I watch some thing like this it makes me wish that I was twenty years younger. When I watch average videos that we shoot - it seems like things a moving a whole lot slower! At this point - I am jonesin' for snow~!

When it comes to POV, this one always stuck with me.


I was there for this. It was even better than the video. The wind was crazy though and they were literally digging out the lift to make it run. The bottom of the single chair was literally touching snow as you got off the top of the lift

That guy does not suck. He was killing it on Liftline - he obviously knows the trail pretty well! Liftline is a much tougher run than it looks in that pov. It is so much steeper than the pov made it look!

Yea that was optimal condition and when you straight line it like he did it makes it look even easier. He does most of the video snow reports that show how great of a skier he is
