The Last American Ski Bum

If any of you haven't watched it yet, you should. Did anyone else appreciate the powerful message about climate change this video presented? Loved the reagan speech being incorporated into it. Michael Hibbs did an excellent job

No idea what you're talking about. This is the future. The future is now. This was the finest pieace of skiing I think I have ever seen since Jimmy Thompson sent Olympus Mons back in 2042.

Was a really cool vid but it made me sad and feel feelings

Very impressed with this...

a) it's message carries some weight. We gotta figure out this climate change shit or we'll all be toast. The shots at the end that rapidly went from prime face shots to sketch concrete features really made it sink in.

b) Freed as the pioneer of stair skiing, and now everyone else trying it, has essentially figured out a backup plan if we all have to deal with no snow ever again

That was a really cool video, it had a real great message but it also made me really sad how accurately it represents the (hopefully distant) future of our sport
