B.C. is an unreachable aspect for most of the skiing community

you can finance a snowmobile for less a month than you spend on food per week. In fact, if most people didn't drink beer, that would more than pay for a monthly payment. LESS BITCHING LESS BITCHING LESS BITCHING
 
attention whore thread and almost not worth posting in it, but what the hell...

anything from a long weekend to working a season somewhere like whistler or in the alps is doable for 90% of people. age, location, and available cash are irrelevant.
 
The original statement of this thread is full of shit. You got 1 retarded point of view and assume the entire fucking world is like your pathetic situation.

Like people said: work, travel, hike.

I've been heliskiing, I've been cat skiing, I've hiked mountains, I've been to Chamonix, La Grave, Zermatt and many more famous expensive mountains, I've skied on 3 continents. BUT IN THE END THE BEST BC SKIING I'VE DONE IN MY LIFE was accessed from a dumb old chairlift and using the advice of some locals, in resorts that are fuckall famous for BC. Look around on skipass.com, there's tons of photo-reports of people hiking the most ridiculous BC in cheap unknown resorts.

And tell me how is it expensive to drive up some mountain pass with a couple of shovels in your car and build a kicker?
 
98% of pro skiers came from ABSOLUTELY LOADED FAMILIES.

If you are not from a crazy wealthy family, getting into the ski scene is gunna be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry difficult.
 
It is unobtainable for many because they don't have the skills required or knowledge to make it safe. There are people who come out from the east coast or midwest, or denver and ski loveland pass because they think it is just like the resorts. There is an infinite number of fucking idiots up there with day passes hanging off their jackets with their bro attitudes who are going to fucking die because they don't understand that BC isn't controlled like resorts.
 
ya, if your post stupid threads like this you prob dont have what it takes to go into the BC. you must have a brain and know how to use it
 
You are truly retarded, your profile says you live in Denver which is 45 minutes from Loveland and Berthoud passes which is the easiest car accesable B.C. in Colorado. Why don't you get off of your lazy ass, stop talking shit ( and getting fucking owned by the way) buy a beacon, take an avvy class, and learn what real skiing is all about - BITCH!!!1!!1
 
1. shut up your just complaining about how you dont get to ski pow

2. go hike a run its more rewarding to earn your turns
 
people are saying that park isnt getting enough respect, and tanner isnt showing enuff respect. pretty stright forward
 
alright i can dig it. so are you essentially trying to say that the reason why these people are moving away from the park scene is that theyre kind of over it. thats sort of how i see it. if youve been skiing park for 5-6 years + youd be pretty over it as well.
 
For sure. That makes me think of the fact that park skiing isn't even what it used to be. Parks are so much better nowadays then when skiiers first started skiing park, however, if I remember correctly jumps used to be bigger? Am i crazy to say that? It seemed there was a time when jumps just kept getting bigger and bigger at parks every year with huge channel gaps, and they just sort of capped off or even shrunk.

For someone like Tanner, who has been hitting park jumps since Freeskiing beginnings, you can see how he would be over the shit. There probably isn't a jump built in a park today that is a far cry from something he has hit in his past. The BC is practically limitless though. So much terrain, and so many options for building jumps that aren't limited by insurance.
 
while the BC may be expaensive and unreachable, thankfully your mom is not. in fact shes quite cheap and easy
 
so you make a thread, you make fuckin weak atempts to prove what you satrted and then further increas you image of a fuckbag by bitching about hungry sloth. then, after your weak argument has been ripped to shreds by the people who acatually know 1 or 2 things about skiing, you try to regain some of the brownie points you lost by saying that park is where the soul of skiing is.

nice

 
just suck it up and move out west if you really care about skiing backcountry that much. its easily accesible from your resorts chairlift. and if you say you cant afford the equipment then get a job. its not that complicated....
 
i agree to an certain extent i mean if u live were there is no bc then ur screwed. So u perfer to ride park to the rest of the mountian. If u live outwest u can hike and find ways to ski the bc. Also almost every mountian has some sort of bc u just have to know were to look.
 
well, i live near nyc, and on both my trips to utah and colorado, there was no epic pow, just 6 inches to a foot, so ill have to try agian for some good bc
 
I think its rediculous that some kids hate on great park skiers yet making fun of seth cause he can't pretzel a rail would be unheard of. Being well rounded is great, but not everything. Take the oppurtunities you get. Some kids ride park on pow days.......but then again that maybe whats chill for them
 
i live in ontario too and completley agree.But i when i went out west it was the year with no snow.I get fucked over a lot.
 
I live in BC, but I went to university in London, Ontario. I'm sorry to say I had a free pass to Boler and only used it once. No park. 10 seconds to the bottom...

I heard Blue's not bad though...and Ontario's not far from Tremblant...

Missed the mountains and the ocean the whole time I was out east.
