Give a shout out to something or someone who did something dope in skiing

Today we salute you, Loon Mountain, for having a bar at the top, bottom, and middle of the mountain (are there others like this?).

That took guts. We need guts.

Today we also salute people who do forward 10s. they are higher beings than the rest of us. examples: karl fostvedt, dale talkington... chris laker? name more please, i know i'm forgetting some
 
S/O my friend Ayvret who convinced me that we should build a money booter last weekend, and S/O the guy that sent it with us, helped fix the lip as it wore down, and filmed one of my favorite clips I've ever gotten

I starred at C.R. Johnson two page sequence of , forward 1440 , possibly for days.

We never got to ski together, but in heaven, we will shred the gnar.

Shoutout to George Clanton and Nas for making great songs for skiing

+1 for Nas still making music for his fans. Dude could've retired a legend in like 04 if he wanted but still releases music for the love of it
 
Huge shoutout to 7 Springs park crew. Got our long park back open after it got demolished with rain and it’s absolutely banging, packed with features. Perfect lips and nice flow. Probably the most fun I’ve ever had riding the Alley. Can’t wait to ride again next weekend.

Shout out those who hype anyone up on the hill no matter what skill level

Haha it’s important to give the youth a couple participation YEWWW’s just for trying… One simple YEEW can create a lifer.
 
Also shouts out to my boy Randy. He ain’t dead or nothin… he just had kids, moved to Florida and don’t ski no more. We miss u out here big chief hope ur well.
 
1000 skis crew are all legends and spread positivity wherever they go. My friend had a heavy crash (re: trees) when we were all skiing together and the 1000 team + posse all stopped and stepped out a big platform for the ski patrol sled to help get him down safely. They were also keen to check in on him and make sure he was all good over the next few days. I was already a fan and this just further confirms that y'all are good people!

Does this self shoutout count?

Feels nice to do and nice to hear it yourself. Need to be a staple for everyone
 
I remember a while after i first started skiing, i hiked a little into the backcountry by myself and had no idea where i was going. i only went cause i saw people in the area and knew i wouldn’t be completely alone. anyway, this guy showed up right where i was thinking about dropping and offered to lead the way, so shoutout to that guy
 
Shout out to anyone who's let people crash on their couch, given people rides to or from the mtn, picked up hitchhikers.

yooooo i approve big time that was dope. being able to chuck 10s is just so badass, it doesn't compare but i had rodeo 10s on lock jumping off bridges and shit and even that was next level fun to be able to chuck at will. and is that "no quarter" i hear a bit of? you're killin it bud
 
shoutout to the kid who said "that kid is so good" about me when i did a wallride to hard 180 out(he said it to my friend and i found out later)

thanks doggy. it was the only one i ever got on film, as i was usually behind the camera not in front of it. i spun a couple right 10s as well but always fucked up the landing somehow, so i can only claim having landed 9s to the right. i used no quarter for my season edit that year and just pulled this clip off of that while waiting in line at the post office. i don't do well with heights, so jumping off bridges/cliffs/etc was never something i got into but i'd be stoked to see a clip of that rode 10 if you've got one!
