One of the greatest early Alaska ski segments ever. Those guys had no idea how lucky they were during that time.
Wonder what ever happened to Chet Simmons and Dan Donnelly?

Can anyone explain why skiing with no hat used to be considered the most badass thing possible?

Why were one pieces popular? Why were pants with the color-blocked knees popular?*
Fashun.
As someone with no hair now, it's in my rearview.... but damn I miss skiing with a headband on warm-ish days. I had a cow-print US ski team headband from the 90s (people are asking $200 for it!)... and climbing (or anything) with a visor. Gone are those days!
* (Well, 1 pieces WERE warm, and the knee thing came from judges in mogul comps scoring a skier on keeping their knees together...)

I'm a skier and Scot S is one of my heroes, but Dan D's riding in that segment is SOOO much more soulful.
"... Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards." – Edward Abbey

Greg’s showing Groove Wednesday night on the big screen here in Aspen. Not quite sure my wife will go for it on V day, but man do I want to see it in a theatre

I didn't know I had seen this clip until the music played and I instantly got shot back in time. Holy shit. The Before Times. Thanks for that.

Pleasure watching this. Snowboard style has not developed to something better.

Pretty sure snowboarding peaked around TB6. Maybe TB7. That era was quite indefinable. To suggest otherwise would be a disservice.
How about we just say Terje? Let's just say Terje pinnacled the entire sport?

JFC, Mrs. plug and I wanna go so bad.
We went to a showing in Portland, ME, (might have been its premiere), I won the skis as the grand prize. They wanted to give me some intermediate skis, and I got them to give me some TNC’s. Greg was so nice.

We made it out for dinner and Blizz and it was great. Stumpy is still Stumpy and the movie still rocks (though it would be amazing if he had the coin to digitally remaster it). They sold out two theatres for the showing tonight
