i love natural switch landings too, send it man.

Superman is off pk, in the bowl if you get off right on the catwalk. Like that mass of trees and it’s one of those cliffs

will 100% 180 (maybe even a 5) that once there is some better coverage

I will only be doing forward 180s because sw landings are cool of big mountain features. also where in the world in Superman?

Superman is the double decker cliff to the skiers left like 2/3 up PK. It's at the bottom of a tree swath if you take the cat track around the bowl a bit. There's a few ways to hit it but they pretty much all are very moguled landings so switch landing would be intense. Also the best way to hit it is launching between two tree trunks and I think it'd be sick if you came off switch, went through the tree slot backwards and then did a late 180

Wtf is happening over there this year

I’m told their old cat driver aka Leonardo Da Vinci left and a big portion of their crew did too. Now it looks like they’re trying to build a terrain park without having ever seen one before. I want to join an help but it’s not like they’re gonna let some random come in and tell them they’re doing it all wrong start over do it like this.

Maybe it’s the low snow talking, but I really want to get a team together for Bogus beer league racing.
 
life between each ski weekend just feels like a 5 day unskippable ad thats sorta interesting and kind of makes you want to buy the product but you still know damn well that you don't need it and you have way better things to be doing

I absolutely love 180s. bridger big jump i hit an oppo shifty-over shifty-oppo shifty-high safety 180

Didn’t even realize bridger had a park until today lol. I’ll be out there tomorrow for the first time but will probably get some park laps at some point

the park is pretty fresh, though a few rails are a bit odd. overall 8/10 park

Pretty sure it’s the big sender under pk?
 
despite revenues and skier numbers being down, its still nice to see people getting out and enjoying some turns at least. Today was actually pretty busy and it was nice to see.

yea normally i would wear a helmet but i left school early and forgot i had it out of my bag drying at home. didn’t realize till i got to the hill and tbh it wasn’t that bad. i was a lil more calculated but it didn’t stop me from skiing well imo

ty i love them sm the rocker profile is just perfect and 178 is a decent length for 5’10. Prolly coulda gone shorter.

Was super fun today. That rainbow rail feels good and the tube to double barrel is nice for swaps. Definitely some weird rails tho lol
 
Anyone have tips for hitting jumps switch? Even on the smallest park jumps i really struggle to straight air switch and always wash out in the landing and slam on my side

I can land 180s fine so i think it's more a problem with the takeoff than the landing

Yeah zero spins (switch straight air) are hard af which is why nobody does them. just do switch 1s or switch 3s instead

getting real comfy with switch works. try looking over both shoulders and work out which one works best for you

you missed the thread about c games outerwear and not using bibs this yeah. if you wanna look just like A-Hall your gonna need to spend $340 on the shirt
 
got my east mtn check-offs done today. i feel like I should be more stoked but it feels like closing the book on the past and all those memories. I miss skiing with my friends in utah a lot.

Nah cuz [tag=240203]@KilaTsunami[/tag] is printing them for cheap, might cop tbh
 
just bought a pair of XT 130's because its MV and I used to ski in RX130's and I'm curious about Lange nowadays. I like the Cochise a lot but the toeboxes could be a bit better, plus its a super-hard boot to find without having to wait on proform and scowering the internet for a pair in 25.5. Mine are beyond-clapped and aren't GW compatible nowadays and I need to re-mount a set of skis for work. Curious also to hearing what other people who have skied in the latest editions of Langes have to say.

And no I'm not getting boot-fitted because we're broke resort workers.
 
Nobody will anyone ever make a greater rail edit than this

How do people sw lip on? I been doing sw tails all year and it feels alright but i tried lip the other day and it feels so weird

It requires a pretty solid pop. Pop hard, then swing tips. You can kind of cheat by coming in from a wide angle away from the rail
 
Remount a pair of Woodsman 109s for work with STH2 16s and save the Kingpin 13s for a rainy day and abuse prodeals for a touring layup? Its just simply way too much ski for the binding. They release fine but you shouldn't be charging hard in-bounds on a touring setup.
