These guys kill (real big moutain skiing)

holy hell, balls of steel on of those guys. i would love to say i would ski that but i'm pretty sure i would shit myself just being up there. good post
 
those big mountain competions are crazy, 99% it seems like they are skiing it totally shit conditions and they still go huge.

Think that's what I would say as well, it's ridiculous looking face, when Kaj says he's happy to get to the bottom you know it's gnar!!
 
wow that is absurd, holy hell i dont think i ski all those drops in a line with that low margin of error. one drop, then steep, i could deal with haha.
 
i would straight up crap my pants if i had to ski that line!

how u guys think some of the more progressive/newschool skiers would do in an event like that? like pollard, julien, pep, abma, bent, jp, candide...??
 
abma, jp, and candide would do pretty well. These guys who compete in it are straight up the best though, it'd be very hard to match up if you didn't ski a lot of what they ski...just how they don't compete in park. they could, but they wouldn't even get top 20.
 
This is another side of skiing that I just don't follow a whole lot but respect the shit out of. That was seriously one of the gnarliest lines I've ever seen. And skied so well. Wow.
 
That was insane. Not only was that a ridiculous run, but it looked like extremely sketchy conditions and barely any snow.
 
Yeah, they're all good skiers, but they would fail at a comp like this. Those other guys are good skiers, but whenever you see them skiing, it's usually in hero snow. Not to take anything away from them, but big mountain comps just go beyond gnarly.
 
I agree with you, but think that guys like abma that are 100% BC and have more of a charger style could probably at least compete in IFSA. In fact, I'm pretty sure he did (but don't quote me). Can you imagine EP on EP Pros maching down a sketchy chute on Bec des Rose?
