Ski Technique- TGR

[time2clmb]

I used to think that Maggots were in general, really good skiers until I saw a fucking Gordy camp trip report video lol

Skiing is like golf: most people suck at it. Only about 1% can really do it well, doesn't change the fact it is still fun as fuck-all.

For my taste, the best skier is the one having the most fun. I have seen 'once a year' crews out of Texas flailing down steeper runs in Taos while laughing their asses off <=> some of the best skiers on the mountain.

On the other hand, for me, it tends to be more fun to get down with some level of grace and control, no matter what the conditions are. The people that most impress me (and I do my pathetic best to emulate) are those who make it hard to tell just how bad the snow is when you watch them skiing it. A number of guides I've been out with and a couple of ski patrol people come to mind.

Most the maggots I have skied with seem to ski pretty well... Maybe we are just all the best skier on the mountain here in the PNW...

[I've seen black diamonds!]

Ok, I'll step up. Proof that I'm better than all of you:









and, of course,

Well, we certainly have crappy enough snow to force us to learn much of the time...

LOL @ I've seen black diamonds.

Oh, and I found a picture of myself. Look how rad I am.

You are SO rad. Notice how I said MOST, and not all.. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'll go out on a limb and say that MOST maggots are better skiers than BPA, without being compelled to post about it in every technique discussion.

[N1CK.]

willie: thats a good picture.

[Supermoon]

fuck that shit just go skiing.

The only technique advice you'll ever need.

yeah and your a fucking rock star with no way of showing it right?

I never said i was better than anyone even in the first thread I was just trying to post up how to do something. You just wanted to make it harder for me to post.

The entire I am so much better than you that I do not even need to prove it is a tired statement, and most likely false. Your were the one that called me out first, so you should have to prove something than being some internet poseur. I took video, its not that hard MT skull. I could make an anonymous account and start fucking with you as well but whats the fun? saying msot Maggots are better skier I would love to see some third person video from most maggots on here, just so I can see that notion thrown right out the window.

I had enough balls to post video up on the net, I have enough balls to willing meet up with you and ski with you if given the chance. You only have enough balls to sit there and talk trash behind some anonymous screen name on the net. You are the fucking pussy, not me.

Riding the Bear Quad on Outer Limits one day with former Pro Mogul skier Dave Frendel: another buddy, Jimmy who idolizes Frendel finishes up a pretty clean lick under the chair and looks up to Frendel for approval.

Frendel: "Dood, bend the ski. You're not bending the ski". (shakes head disapprovingly)
Jimmy is crushed; Frendel and I laugh our asses off. The rest is history.

Lesson; Don't take this shit too seriously.

This was a funny look back

Was just taking to Nick V about Frendel, so I google to see some old shit and this thread comes up [emoji23]. The first time I skied with him we're riding the gondi and I tell him it's my 2nd or 3rd day ever skiing. He looks at me and kinda just nods his head...I know he's thinking wtf is Nick doing with this kook. Then we make our way down the first pitch and he's like wtf? I'm like I can't resist giving a ny'er shit because you've been in VT how long and still have that accent!? Wtf!
