some of my pals and i were out in colorado last week for the best skiing ever...one day we hit the park for a few hours and hit the huge superpipe they have there. it seemed like after just a few runs we were already going bigger than a lot of the other people who were there, even though we had never ridden a pipe in our lives. this just proves that michigan skiers are the best!!

^ Well if you feel like venturing farther up north get a hold of me next time and I'll hook you up with a place to stay, gangstah.

I dont know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
 
I agree MI does have some good riders. I skied with Ben Anderson Josh Bennet and Steve Shelby and they are all good skiers in Park and Backcountry. Maybe it's cause of the crappy U.P. conditions. If it's wet they ski it. If there's a rail near a snowbank they slide it. And if they fall they do it again.

 
^ Is that really your last name? Everytime I see it I think of Trip 'N Ski. Probably would be a fun time, if you didn't fall off the chair or something.

Hell yea i love midwest skiers hate midwest weather

Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

colorado skiers are the best.

Being out there skiing every day, good or bad, just playing around with friends, with no contests or filming- that is the real spirit of skiing for me. that is why i started skiing, and if i lose those moments that is what will make me stop skiing.
 
^nah, if midwest skiers moved out west we'd all become pro. we learn tricks on small crappy tables (they are getting much better every year) if we had a big jump to hit all the time whoooaaaaaaaa, we would win

no serious... midwest kills everyone. If we had your park the midwest would rule the ski industry...sorry theres just more love here

 
you guys are comedy...you ski on hills and claim you can tear it up bwahahahahaha

well duh, because none of us are parkrats. we learned how to ski and then hit the park, so we ride well and then we do park. plus everyone's ballsy, wreck and hit it again, till you land it. thats how it goes around here. you guys can ski good conditions all the time, we ski all kinds of conditions (minus the massive powder) and we still kill it.

 
the conditions don't play that big of a role in determining whether you turn out to be a good skier or not. saying that we have good conditions all the time just allows us more chances to go out and kill it. also, i think you will find the the whole 'wreck and try it again' thing holds true just about anywhere, so you guys aren't doing something new.

this discussion is pointless...you guys just keep 'killing it' at your hills and keep our mountains uncrowded

michigan skiers have to deal with some shitty conditions, and haveing good mid west skiers just proves that they have to work harder.

i dont really have a life, but i am lazy. and i got sick of weeding through all you peoples shit cause... basically im smarter than you.

ya midwesterners do charge really hard, and it is definite that if you moved a midwesterner park skier out west they would progress way faster then someone who has lived there their whole life. and conditions do play a huge factor, whether your'e hitting a really icy landing or a landing with nice snow.

I skied in Breckenridge for 4 years and now I ski in wisconsin. I was surprised that there are so many good skiers here. They might be better than most of the pros if they had the environment but it just doesnt work that way.

it's just like a person in africa saying i will be better than t-hall if we had snow here.

i ski mt. brighton in lower MI. most of the kids who ski there are decent, but everyone shares the obsession of skiing. everyone progresses a lot each year despite shitty conditions and a crappy park. if we had a sweet park and good conditions we would all be fricken awesome. yeah and in response to us being park rats so what. would you ski a flat ass run that takes 10 seconds to go down and is complete ice?

 
You guys can't really say you learn to ski before you go to the park. There's not shit to learn on. I mean i have respect for you riding ice all the time, but that only takes you so far.

Learn to ski SAND. Then I'll give respect. Cause sand is so much harder, its all grainy and rough and made up of rocks, so its practically like you are skiing on rocks!

 
'You guys can't really say you learn to ski before you go to the park.' To this I will state the fact that Buck Hill in MN, has about 300 foot vertical, has produced two olympic slalom skiers, one, Kosnic, was number one in the world and still might be. In the midwest you lean how to ski on ice, which translates to better ballance and edge control. This lets us boost out of pipes and learn to rip the entire mountain if we at out west. Dont under estimate the midwest, just look at Minnesota Represent in Wski106.

 
come to tahoe, and then go camp out at the bottom of siberia bowl on a sunny weekday, after 11 am. by that time all the lazy sacks will be out of bed and straight lining every line off the palisades. then talk to me about about how the west coast doesnt know how to ski.

We dont have mountians, we have hills. The tallest in michigan is like 1400 ft.

My home hill is Mt. Ripley as well, and i definently agree with this whole topic that michigan skiers are sick, but the coniditions aren't as bad as you guys are making them sound.(well not all the time)

HAHA! Scared to do stuff off of 60 ft tables. We had a 65 ft table at Ripley last year and I zero'd it and Pete Jones 9'd it. And it's on video.

I dont know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
 
good skiers come from everywhere and ride anything from pow to rails, i'm from Michigan but have lived in park city and mammoth, the thing about michigan kids is that when they get out west they're hungrier to throw down on less than perfect conditions, however you take a tahoe local on a powder day, and i'm gonna have to say that they are some of the sickest skiers, at least in my opinion.

why would i want to ride big mountain? it's to far away from the park!
 
the hill with the biggest vert is Mt Bohemia however with its 900 foot vert but this is not common place i dont know is there is another hill in michigan (at least the lower peninsula) that has over 500 vert feet.

even though mont ripley has just over 400 feet of vertical the majority of it is just as steep as most thigns out west. and michigan rarely is all ice. that is the east. the upper peninsula gets over 300 inches of snow per year. the conditions are quite nice

^^bahahahahaha. Man this is some funny shit. I would like to see this Mt Ripley and its steeps. Come on man, are you kidding? How can a 300 foot vert have the kind of steeps that compare to Crested Butte, Silverton, or Alta? It may have 2 turns of steep, but riding a 2000 foot face of 45+degrees is much different than what you are talking about. I am sure you guys were going bigger than the tourist crowd when you were on vacation, but most of the resident rippers ski weekdays and skip out on the weekends for travel/comps/photo shoots. Go to Breck on a Tuesday in March and watch. A 9 is a nice trick, but cab it and cork it and you may get some looks. Then once you are finish your humble pie, hike up the lake chutes and get a taste of what skiing is. Don't make stupid claims about shit that you have no idea about. A vacation does not constitute knowledge, live out here for a season or two and you will understand. I see it everyday, sure kids come out from the midwest and learn quickly, but do not think you will own anyone out here for a while.
