18+ INCHES HEADED to the NORTH EAST.. THUR 13th Thru SUNDAY 16th (4 EPIC DAYS POWDER)

[deadheadskier]

Scared? Riiiight. I highly doubt any of you have ever skied anything like that terrain and snow with that level of speed and skill.

There is no other way to ski 3 day old melting untracked mank than in the "back seat", best you can hope for is to keep your upper body in a correct position. Sad thing is, none of you have have ever found untracked mank, so you really wouldn't have any idea, now would you? The snow is so wet the skis just don't want to glide at all. The drag is immense. The only way to keep from going over the bars is to keep your feet well out in front of you and turn off your tails. In fact, in the video @ :11, you can see where I pass the camera and have to momentary correct to keep from going over the bars by crouching to lower my center of mass. It's a game of angles and forces, just like any good skiing.

I have no doubt you're a good skier, but get over yourself. There are many people on this forum who have skied similar lines, in similar conditions at a higher level than what you displayed in that video.

Don't sweat it. We all have off days.

I'll defend the jackass.His turns really are just fine in that video for manky spring snow.The rest of his attitude is still making wedge turns.

Great skiers can handle any condition and don't make lame excuses for skiing like they are still in the 70s. Retro fail

Make no mistake, that's an explaination for the ignorant, not an excuse. I'm a very strong technical skier and can ski a good number of conventional techniques, but I also have a large bag of unusual tricks. I regularly ski a very wide range for conditions from sheet ice to powder to wet dirt/grass/rock. Have any of you bothered to go out and ski sand in the summer?

More like a bag of shit.

Why sir yes I have skied a sand pit in the summer.
You are not the only super special one here.
I have also used the Crane move on someone before.
Also have used the move that George Costanza used...

 

[RustyGroomer]

You ignorant losers just don’t get it? It’s about crouching conventional techniques on the angles,….forces.

In other news, with the base in northern/central VT and all the new snow....terrain that is normally unskiable will all be in play....I'll be attempting the Survey Lines at Smuggs on Sunday.

 

[dlague]

I don't know whether to believe whether this weather is legit!! (or this Thread!!!!)

Two for the price of one - a weather related thread with a dispute over someones style imbedded. Case and point why I will never post a video of my skiing style or talk about my speed, etc.! It is a tough crowd sometimes!

However, the weather is looking pretty good in Northern NH near Waterville Valley as I look out the window!

I'm confused....When did Mad River and Smuggs become one mountain? That would be a pretty sweet interconnect.

Go back to your extreme skiing on Devil's Fiddle.

 

[RustyGroomer]

Yeah, now i'm confused too. You had me with that insane fiddle mankfest TM vid. Now i'm lost again. Anyway, snow coming, i'll be @ Magic. I think that was what this thread was about?

TRAILS OPEN, TREES OPEN, ROCKS OPEN, LIFT LINES OPEN, What was once closed shall be opened for all. Those seeking the POW POW rejoice. 100% open resorts for VT, NY, MAINE bringing up the rear. and all inbetween. This is it. The storm of the year and years for those that missed dumps last year.

You sound like the guy that does the flea market infomercials on Saturday mornings. But yes it will be amazing indeed!

I always hesitate to use this word, but I may utter the word epic when I'm up there (relative to the east). Not using it in advance. My Stowe report may be just one word. Been a long time...

More than you can handle. You don't even offer moguls in your "freeskiing" classes.

Good lord, I'm not a very good skier, but at least I know it. Self-awareness fail alert.

A "top-10 skier at Killington any day of the week", my ass.
