So a couple weeks ago some friends and I were skiing at a southeast michigan ski hill. I landed my first backflip ever and rode the lift up. my friend hits the jump throw a backflip and we are just sitting at the top of the park. a ski patroller comes up to us and tells us that we are getting a tickets pulled for the day. And both my friend and i were liek what the fuck and the ski patroller tells us there is a rule against inverted aerials. So we both got our lift tickets pulled... as Ive been skiing at other places here in michigan i keep hearing the rule applies everywhere in michigan. now what the fuck kind of rules is that??? no inverted aerials. how do people excpect our sport to progress if they have stupid rules like this in place. Now i understand that the rule is in place for safety reasons but still, this is stupid. ive been outside MI once to ski and i dont plan on traveling anytime soon. what do you guys think about this bullshit?
 
Have you ever read the rules of the park? Those rules prohibit inverted tricks through north america. C'mon man, its common knowledge
 
i was at mount snow a couple weeks ago and this snowboarder pulled a front flip off a little 5 footer and on of the ms diggers and was like "yo, you cant do that at ms, sorry" and walked away.
 
hahaha that same shit happened to me at nashoba valley i was with my race team and did a lincoln or some shit and some girl bitched me out for doing inverted varials, i just said i fell and ended up landing and that i didnt mean to?
 
thats pretty standard at a lot of crowded eastern resorts. Although, the general consensus seems to be if you stomp it with steez, and its obvious ur not gonna die, youre OK. and certainly not gonna get a pass pulled

its the drunken sketchballs theyre worried about
 
Do you have any idea about the liability that comes with those kinds of tricks. there is a reason that you sign that thing when you get your pass, its a written agreement that you wont do that kind of stuff and sue them. its not because they are agianst it, its because they are saving their own ass.
 
I hear some patroller being:" hey that was an inverted trick" as I landed some rodeoish 5 and the guy in charge of the park was: "he wasnt totally upside down"

I wonder what would have happened if the park guy wasnt there, i got my pass pulled there once for skiing fakie down the steepest trail and got into and argument with the owner, funny thing is that I'M bringing like 175 customers to their hill with school acitivities..
 
im pretty sure that mountains are more worried about liabilities and their skiers safety, then progressing the sport of freesking with the oldest trick in the game....
and if they dont act on their rule, then it is esencially non existant, so sure it sucks, but you have to make examples to enforce your rules if you want to be taken seriosuly
 
i've never heard that rule...im at ms every weekend and my friends do flips all the time and we never get yelled at
 
when boyne, a Michigan company, took over sunday river. Inverted aerials went from prohibited to not recommended.
 
I was at brighton over christmas break and I noticed that they are also prohibited there

I do em all the time at my hill in wisconsin where there not allowed but no one gives a shit
