Snowbird was my home mountain. I've had multiple seasons of 100+ days of 10k feet/day minimum. *Snowbird adopting the Fast Pass GUARANTEES I'll never ski or go there again.* I've attended wilderness survival training, wilderness medicine, as well as advanced avalanche prediction and recovery training at The Bird, but the Bird gave us THE BIRD with Gast Pass. BYE BYE BIRD!
Not yet. Myself and the University of Nevada Freeride team got a chance to watch it at the movie release. Looks like they'll release it on December 5th.
DO IT! I grew up skiing the best the east could offer... Jay Peak, MRG, The Slides at Ice Face, Tuckerman's Ravine with a yearly trip out west. The opportunity to move to Utah came up and i jumped all over it. It was the best 15 years of my life. Skiing continuously until the 4th of July multiple years. Skiing a 40 footer or hucking a 60 is almost a weekly event when at a place in Utah. Screw the bird now that they've adopted the pay more extra fast pass crap. But, Solitude, Brighton, Powder Mtn, Snow Basin... school bus skiing at Powder is a blast!
ok dont laugh but here is a question all i have ever skied are groomers Hv New york at the most 1 ft of powder, when you do a Big jump and land in the powder in your vidoes do you hit hard? or is there so much give it is super soft landing?
think of it as resistance on your legs.. average base snow for groomed trails is like 100 cm.. average base for mountains is like 25ft plus 6-10 foot of powder.. its like weightless floating my man and drops are heavenly.. its the speed thats the hard part it comes quick
Took me a while to find out, but both Collinson and Anthamatten ride CAST Freetour bindings. The front binding swaps out between a Tech (CAST's own version) for walking and a Look Pivot 18 for ripping downhill.
They have their skis center mounted, similar to a park ski. I'm pretty sure they do this so they can ski backwards and so they have as much ski behind them as they do in front so the weight doesn't feel weird spinning in the air
Center mount is new school, and you don't need to be back, even in powder. Newer skis have camber under foot but rocker on the tips and tails, so they tend to want to rise up out of the snow. That combined with alot of width make powder skiing even more heavenly! Get a pair and see for yourself.
I always find myself coming back to this video. So underrated, Insane boys

These guys are shredding some pretty nasty crust
About to watch the full film in royal oak courtesy of summit sports!
first time seeing this.
Skiing in Canada it is always cool to see the unique red rock cliffs of Utah covered in snow
These aren't the same rock
This is much further north than the red rocks your thinking of that's all in southern utah
I wish have my places....

Powder makes you land backseated more than park.

3:22 that guy is good at falling
Patrick Heffernan his name is Jonny colinson
Anyone know what bindings he rides on for Backcountry? Tech or Frame?

How come most of them seem to have centered stances on their skis? I would assume they would set it back for powder? eg 0:45

True, makes sense :)
