You can resurrect one thing from skiings past, what do you choose?

Been thinking about this a bunch recently on downdays, I'm getting old and feeling nostalgic. So whether it be it a ski graphic, a contest or even a feature, what would you choose to bring back?

I'd probably go with JOSS or yearly movie drops with no leaked footage (premiere hype was insane)
 
HIPS!!!! why aren't hips popular anymore?? big, small, different shapes, there are so many options

and landing in an airplane turn always feels cool
 
West Coast Sessions,

Watching those guys at Timberline when I was a kid changed my life,

Now I'm a ski bum :)

The biggest reason is that they are insanely hard to build - you can't cut the landing with a pipe cutter, so to get it as steep as you need you usually have to hand shape it.

They know how to build em good at Mammoth though...

Probably when I did a 360 and landed with my pole between my cheeks. Initially it hurt like hell but then was followed by one of the craziest orgasms i've ever had.

Huge facts, easily my favorite feature
 
Kieran Mckveigh, Tall T Tru days, rails2riches, HG skis, the weak/Ian Compton, and much more VT soul. Had to be more than one thing.

yeah dude and even little ones are so fun and full of options. you can go big, you can go small, and even tiny ones are cool because you can hit it like a hip, hit it straight, or even hit it completely sideways, taking off on the left side and landing on the right

plus hitting a hip straight on always makes you feel badass even if it's not that big
 
here's another one: longer harder rails in parks. long multi kinks, gaps onto rails, S rails tilted so it's a coaster S

does anyone have like a ~100 foot rail these days? a few places had them here and there in the past but i'm not aware of any these days. never got a chance to try one :(

Not sure how people haven't said Delorme yet. Haven't seen hide nor hair of the man in years sadly. Last I heard he's up in Montana helping run his dad's farm after his stint in the ND oil fields but who knows for sure.

New intelligence group, STEPT, Beast Coast (Zahner, Mike ulrich, Mike Coppola, Chis Zembruski (idk how to spell it), Jake Muller, etc), plus back in the day we had dew tour and x games. TC crew was almost exclusively east coasters in the beginning (idk if that counts cuz they travelled everywhere), C sessions being a weekly occurrence not twice a year, Sheldon Donatelli 2012 edit that broke Facebook, same with Keegan’s first street clips, so much shit.

We were on top what the fuck happened man…

Donatelli mention in this is straight facts. He’s still out there, got some clips w Mazzi and Simon knight his skiing is beyond a pleasure to watch.

made me think we need McVeigh back too, he was at bush this season in the same kit as new intel. Enough to make a grown man cry happy tears
 
Heffy, he died a year before I got out here and I really wanted to shred with him after I saw that first vid of him at Snowbird. A friend of mine I ride with still yells for Heffy when he does backies.
