Part of the Trollin' Series....hilarious. He leaves Park City to ski Snowbird.



Love the line from the traverse at 2:20: "is there a park up this way?" "Uh, I am 95% sure it is a no." "5% though..."

That's six minutes of my life that I wish I could have back. I'm not sure where the "hilarious" part was.

Is that even real? Seems kinda rehearsed. "Ok, go up the bowl and talk some ____"

Is there seriously any doubt here about whether everything in that video was staged? Maybe I just have the benefit of having read comments here first. Kind of like training wheels. (Btw ppl don't still use that learning method do they?)

But whatever I Laughed Out Loud at it.

I'm pretty sure the point of the video was to make fun of park skiers who wear hoodies on the hill.

Actually I'm 110% sure and if you watched this and were < 100% sure you may want to look into the form of comedy known as parodies. Some good stuff there once you dig in.

So when I first saw this video I thought it looked familiar and I remember seeing a video camera and microphone on a Tram ride, but honestly at Snowbird I see that a lot. And then I saw reference to the Spy Goggle Day and thought, "huh, I was there that weekend." And then in the Tram scene at about 2:05 sure enough I can see my Head Cyclic 115 skis (Yellow and Black) just to the looker's right of his head! Yep, I was there and apparently one of the dumb locals! :lol:
