Unpopular opinion thread skier's edition

I skied Snowbird for 15 years growing up and will take it a bit further. The only good things Snowbird ever did was pick the right terrain to build a resort, and then they built a Tram. After that they've been fucking up ever since.

It bums me out. I've been out here for 10 years almost from Michigan and recall this place being like mythical when i first skied it. Can safely say my most favorite times were spent there, but they need to wake the fuck up and cut the bullshit.
 
Not sure why my post got downvoted. A lip 2 continuing 2 is a completely different trick than a 2 continuing 2. They look different and are different to execute. If someone calls a 2 continue 2 in a game of slvsh they don't mean lip 2 continuing 2.

The two aren't interchangeable phrases, each means a separate thing

You’re right, posted that when drunk, thought this was a different thread
 
open jacket or vest, like unzipped all the way and that shits just flapping in the wind like a cape, looks like shit a huge majority of the time. exception tho is ahmet in partly cloudy. and skis as tall or like an inch taller than the rider in park looks dope. real short like at mouth or chin just looks fucking dumb, personally.

A lip 2 on 2 off is a 2 on 2 off, but a 2 on 2 off is not necessarily a lip 2 on 2 off. Ya know squares and rectangles type shit. Im sure if in a game of slvsh somebody called a 2 on 2 off and somebody did a lip 2 on 2 off they would be fine.

So are we now just breaking down tricks into groups of tricks that some fit under? This is news to me.

So a switch lip 2 on is the same as a lip 2 on is the same as a regular 2 on is the same as a unnatural 2 on is the same as a switch tails 2 on? Come on...

No but all of those are 2s on.
 
The overuse of butters to make your edit look better.

Don't get me wrong, I love a nice butter here and there, they look sick when used within reason, but recently seen so many edits getting so much hype and they're literally a dude just buttering all over the place over a curb or something and reverting repeatedly (like 3 reverts after landing) with enough afterbang to make you think he just landed a sw dub 10 or some shit. Looks wack imo

This isn't an unpopular opinion, it is simply just incorrect.

You don't like someone's oppinion so you claim it not to be a valid oppinion. Nice one ;)

Style is subjective. Thats the whole point of it.

And I knew this was gonna be an unpopular oppinion, thats why I posted it in this fucking threat. I'm not looking for anyones approval. I'm basically one of the few people here who actually posted sth unpopular. lol

r-e-l-a-x.
 
Social media sucks, and there are far too many people out there "famous" in the ski world getting free shit because their Instagram pics break 100 likes all the time.

Shit the ski industry in general is fucking annoying
 
I have respect for how crazy dialed Henrik harlauts tricks are but his style (skiing style and clothes) makes me want to fucking kill myself. The guy looks so large he could be in the Guinness book of world records and he refuses to stand up straight.

Thats actually pretty true, not many other current riders with as many never been done before tricks that aren't future spins

As someone who lives and dies with skiing the cottonwoods here in Utah,Snowbird is straight up fucking bullshit gimmicks and the vibe is starting to kinda die there.

It's hard to narrow it down but there were some things in terms of logistics and terrain management that pissed me off. You're really gonna fucking close the entire gad valley like in mid-spring when we are having like one of the best seasons in decades? Not to mention it was fucking so annoying seeing them do "control work" on stuff that was clearly good to ski, but wouldn't open up at all except for their fucking bullshit "team riders" and cool insta photos. They would literally hold stuff so it would make for a good social media post.

Ski industry marketing is down right angering

I came to Utah last year and got my pass at snowbird with the tram(extra 200 bucks). Was so pissed but figured that to become a better pure skier(bumps, hard terrain) it would be better to ski there again. No tram this year but knowing the kind of BS they pull I'm definitely doing Brighton next year instead. Plus there are just so many out of town, there for a week ski vacation families with kids who sit under the lip of any natural feature, I literally jumped over the head of one and heard the dad screaming at me but I just skied off. Also, not gonna lie, poached the shit out of tigertail with my buddy at the end of the season in those April storms since I figured if my pass got pulled it would be worth it anyway. Just got fed up with them not opening perfectly good terrain.
