seen that in some an older warren miller film. Looks pretty fun

 

[*TURBONERD*]

i just want to ski... but I think that mad river rockets serve the purpose better.

 

[Logey.]

why wouldnt you ski that wonderful powder?

 

[WikiWiki]

haha ive seen this before but some of this shit is pretty sick- but like the other guy said- why waste powder like that

 

[joshua]

Tomahawking in one of those would be the worst ever

 

[.SimonB.]

nice post! that vid is sick, it combines my two favorite sports into one epic one. there are a bunch of other sick vids on youtube, like this guy who drops some pretty big cliffs in his kayak.

 

[Matty_C]

bored of skiing? its november 18th bro!

on a side note, that looks painful as fuck, kinda like a one way ticket to a broken back too...

 

[Baskin.]

steezy

 

[AEROPLAEHN]

I wana fucking do that, looks way fun.

 

[willmiller]

Does look like it would hurt your ass! Wonder how many resorts would let you do this?

 

[Mr.Huck]

Yeah, I remember that. I also remember seeing footage of someone dropping into Corbets at Jackson in a Kayak. That was frickin nuts and it didn't go well.

 

[debrickshaw]

thatd be dope as fuck

 

[jdilla]

I dont really see the purpose in the paddle

 

[busky_j]

looks pretty fucking fun. extreme sleddinggg! IT'S EXTREEEEME!

 

[J-Wallz]

what i was gunna say glorified sledding but sick non the less

 

[Bright_Nation]

I'm trying this for sure this winter!

 

[Davy.Crockett]

that actually looks pretty fun but kinda scary on hardpack

 

[SGLogi]

Can you turn?

 

[frampton]

hilarious language

 

[Freeskim@n]

 

[Mr.Huck]

Hardpack would be brutal. I think it would be 1 step above sledding on a cafeteria tray. Unless you figured out a way to attach metal edges, you'd have no way of avoiding anything.

 

[Shlogan]

i would do it if you would turn but they seemed really good at it and still couldnt turn so its a no for me.

 

[COrider]

At monarch they make a track for kayak races, pretty awesome to watch.

 

[MAPLE_SYRUP]

if i ever get snaked by a Kayak i am quitting skiing

 

[TimmyP]

There is a video where they take a catamaran down a mountain. I think that surpasses a kayak.

 

[fricino13]

that 180 was sick)

 

[tommycat]

if I were to go down the mountain on anything besides skis, it'd be a saucer. that's crazy.

 

[jibjunkie]

kind of unrelated but ive always thought of using a kayak paddle instead of poles in super deep powder. i think it would be pretty sweet

 

[tj.hall]

so its basically a more extreme version of sledding?

 

[spliff.Life]

hahaha i just thought about that, itd get so so, imagine sleddingx10

 

[Literature]

While that is pretty awesome, I have to point out that you said "bored of skiing."

I don't have a clue what that phrase means. Frankly, it's a complete contradiction in terms.

 

[Kotke]

What a waste of powder.

 

[skiEER]

i have tried it before and you have little to no control

 

[mak]

Looks pretty fun, but when would you get bored of skiing?

 

[Taubie05]

It's good for if you have small terrain that you can't do much with on skis.

 

[Mayer]

Looks gnarley when they land switch

 

[gakc]

looks painful

 

[little_boo]

steering and to pick up speed.

I've done this before...Kinda frightening at first, but super sick

 

[miker92]

reminds me of that mad river rockets thing.

and as others have said, i dont think i could forgo skiing on a day like that.

 

[taylaaa]

oh my gosh

 

[Where-am-I]

that looks pretty sick

 

[miketheskier88]

Hah.. it was purely to grab peoples attention. Don't read too much into it. Skiing > *

 

[daringharry8]

Yeah maybe a little sketchy...

 

[Afeld]

Yeah but that is the best

 

[skiminnesota]

ok not gonna lie. ive done this in my backyard. needless to say. i was completely at the mercy of my hill. (no control at all) of course i didnt have feet of pow either.

the guy in the yellow boat was hauling ass! crashing looks like it would be a bitch though.

 

[a_pla5tic_bag]

Bored of skiing? I haven't skied since February. But that looks like fun.

 

[*stew]

looks kinda fun but defiantly not board of skiing...

 

[-=koLLac=-]

looks like a good way to break your back

 

[PowderWhore15]

wait... bored of skiing? nope cant happen... fuckin europeans

 

[Steeze-On-Toast]

wow, that looks so fun, wish i had a kayak now
