It's crazy how someone really talented can make it look so easy. For someone trying to take the next step, it can get pretty frustrating.

Damn, that looks like some fun terrain!

It blows my mind that guys like you and 2knees have never skied there. It's got your names all over it.

Having viewed video from several trails I've been on or ridden lifts over that have sizable hucks, I don't think POV fully conveys the pucker factor that I for one certainly feel when I see them in person. Also it's often tough to tell from video or still imagery just how steep a trail is. Dude's cruising down Paradise like it's Fox/VIxen.

Agreed. Pitch is almost impossible to accurately capture in photos or video. In this vid in particular, there's some sort of fisheye lens that's making Paradise look pretty flat which we all know, it isn't. And that dude was definitely killing it.

Yes, having skied Paradise a time or two, I definitely remember it being way steeper than it looks in the video!
