I love that TGR video ^. Daniel Tisi is such a sick skier for how young he is, amazing.

Horry sheet.

I think either Telluride or Jackson Hole will be my next vacation. I haven't even gone on my first, and I'm planning the next already.

I've been to Jackson Hole. Loved it!

Powder

Dam those jumps in powder look like so much fun. That is when you can go crazy and try 360s and even flips if it's deep enough.

Thanks for the video! The tree skiing looks like SO much fun there, I'm definitely making it a point to ski there this winter.

Sorry im a snowboarder so forgive me.

Are the ski boards just shorter than regular skis?

 

[Bartjo06]

Correct. Usually in the 90ish-100ish cm length range with non-releasing bindings. They were really popular about 10 years ago.

Managed to get in some skiing this weekend before the weather took a turn for the worse. My hometown mountain had 8-14" of fresh, light, fluffy stuff on every trail which is not common for Maine, so I drove 2 hours North to hit it on Saturday morning. Was the best day skiing I've had in a long time, I was like the only one lapping the un-groomed trails since no one in Maine has powder specific skis. I'm so pumped to go out West now for my trip, my new skis are going to KILL the Utah powder.

beautiful

 

[Bartjo06]

Agreed! The particular side of the mountain I was on has all narrow trails like the one in the pictures with trees overhanging, it made for a beautiful day of skiing. I was all by myself making run after run, definitely stress relieving.

 

[KennyGS]

Yes, beautiful!

Finally able to go skiing again as the weather has warmed up to -6 C. Supposed to rain tomorrow though.

Make sure you let me know if you come up this way. I'd join you for a ski for sure.

 

[Bartjo06]

I love night skiing, something about it is so peaceful!

Alright, will do!

In other news, I leave for Park City a week from today! SO excited! New ski bag came in this weekend, it should fit my 186 Influences and my snowboard nicely. Hopefully I can keep it under 50lbs for the airline, the bag is HUGE. I'm starting to get things together, I'm planning on bringing my DSLR and my GoPro with me so hopefully I can get some good pictures/videos.

you're going to flip out flying into SLC from the view of the mountains alone. Have a great time!

Sitting at the airport waiting for my first flight, prepare yourselves for copious amounts of pictures!
