    Help Finding an Edit

    Hoping someone can help me find a certain popular edit based off my memory. It features one guy in a park with longer/continuous shots showing his skiing talent between features as well as on them.

    Boots with GripWalk: still OK for pin bindings if tech inserts present?

    I got lost in the sauce trying to understand current boot-binding compatibilities, so I want to double-check that I'm good with this setup change before I test it.

    Blue Mountain (ON) Quietly Added Ski Touring Access in 21/22

    ...for full ticket or pass price of course. I assume this happened due to the '20 COVID closures, when people were definitely trying to ski there anyways.
