Stomp? are u serious? that was a butt check bomb hole landing. Totally sick, yes, but certainly not a stomp. sorry.

i'm going to this comp next year. already saving up bus-table earnings. and i...

i never said it was as long as those places, but that one line is a 10 score, and i have stomped it many times. just not in competition. until this year....

That comp looked super easy, those takeoffs were manmade, not actual 'freeriding' i'd say. and it was in france where freeride ski was born. tanner and candide should try some bigmt comps, see if...

Oh i never left, just been guiding NOLS semester all summer. Now i'm back in the 'Mass, and skiing super strong (6month backpacking will do that!).

you should enter the snowmass comp, can watch...

the comp in snowmass is some of the gnarliest terrain in NA. Theres massive airs going down almost every run, through no-fall zones, a must to be on the podium. telluride is more of a stay on the...

everyone who sucks at skiing says that, except for me.

ummm, as steep

simple comparison and everyone gets there panties in a bunch.

and yes the line is def sick... frenchies are good.

oooooh your so witty 'splat', way to analyze my words. with over 14,000 posts you've become quite the scholar.

the burncliffs in snowmass are def steeper than the becross. obviously WAY shorter,...

never said i was. i suck at skiing, except on powder days, then i'm RIPPING!

and why am i a troll if i'm just expressing an opinion? wrong or right its just an opinion. sorry forums gods.....:o

what does this picture mean? i dont get it?

whats not legitimate about snowmass comp? im pretty sure the freerideworldtour champion won this event this year. that IS legitimate.

no troll, i was just giving my perspective to this discussion. i come off as a little harsh sometimes, i know. these guys def can ski, ive just seen bigger drops elsewhere in comps, thought that what...

i doubt that alkapollak. besides what do you know about these comps? ski bumming in squawvally is not competitive extreme skiing. i would learn a bit about freeride before flaming about mid-level...

i've seen lines in comps here in states (CB, snowmass, etc) that were just as gnarley, HUGE air and landing on skis. super impressive, aggro aerobic comp runs. this one was pretty cool but super...

you too!

fyi...top2 prequal into snowbird.

you can add one more to that list...in 3days

yeah but this seems unusually local. i never seen such close comraderie between those mentioned above. (and i'm super new to it), but dont those guys ski together everyday, inspect together, and...

they should do a big seg on the ARF. its an interesting peice with the snowmass local crew competing on the local terrain in a contest and on regular freeski days. always charging.

got my confirmation today. so stoked for this event. anyone know if the wall got some snow, or winded out?
hey GR whats up with the TV episode this year? really only 30min? we should do a pre-event...

these days i pretty much extreme ski everyday, all day, all the way.
just watch me this weekend at CFC, extreme winning i like to call it.

--ARF team member #12

what an event! myfirst WTcompski .no super final for OG but just hourglass 1st run alone was epic. (crashinclkuded) so much props to the superfinal rippers. teeth and mouth over actual...

that front flip guy ran a bit after me and was the coolest comp move this season. i backslapped off bodybag but def went hudge. firm CB powder but super chalky, great time.
Onward and off to the...

no confusion. should be a great event. super tough field. wish more big names were in, but maybe superfinal will be.

i made the cut, barely. AERF represent!

dude thats hat happens to me! i had the 8.7 line all lined out and this guy went before me and skied all the snow away. top 10 for sure but i just missed the cut. sucks bigtime been training hard...

is this the same kiffer who won the freeki champiosnip in the mass'?
if so brng the 2009 call out, wining run wasnt...

pretty sure i'm out of school and returning to snowmass tomoro....coincidence? i think not.


..and 'tats' or whatevr stole my maid'ns last year, i know it.

Hello brozes!

i'm cutting class this week and making the boulder to snowbird drive. figure its gonna be great early season training before i make the parttime onslaught on snowmass for 09'. i'll...

well its not so much as a need for demand but an inevitable turn of events that would prevent the real skiers from even getting close to the goods up there. even with it closed i accessed a zone up...

Right, fluidity. Kriffor's and Kent's run was really fluid. he's in first place for his fluidity, it seems.

i bet those guys read SKI.

you just stay below 2grand, its where you belong

things are a little different down in the states.

"consistency is a huge part of comps. being consistent and smooth, consistently smooth, top to bottom".

--Tram Coffin, SKI Magazine,...

well it helps out your consistency score, taking it to th next level. A grab with no air is better than an air with no grab

these are some pretty lame runs, no one is going big at all. it must be the alaska terrain thats making them hold back. there wasn't even any grabs on the airs too.

this guy should just stop being a puss and go for it. its all powder out there!

lame feed too, dammit!

better than studying though:the_finge

bumpity bump bump for some of the best stoke of the year

reading up on this issue i have to agree, davenport is more a ski mountaineer (which is more hiking than skiing). He doesn't really do the 'go big' thing anymore it seems. he wouldn't hold a candle...

a gaper i may be, but i ain't no pickle popping SDP




i will be a very sharp tool in like 2yrs, college dgree in pysch, biotch

just like this SDP character? bummer for me.....:eek:

So basically some 9-5er's from conneticut or something went heli-skiing. they had great conditions. they took a bunch of pictures. then one of the douches posted some of those pics and suddenly its...

you mean..."the lodge"? oh wow!




You guys think i'm a poser?....take look at this tool. "i've been there 8 times, oooo look at me". Must be tough to be on daddy's tab, or something.

ya, especially when you diehard mags create an entire thread to bag on some dude who just likes to ski the piste and eat the feast, to say the least.

i do have a starter jacket, go bears!

so does the other grskier.

yeah thats right, like the rooster used to say... strength, courage and determination....and you can ski anything

i'm not kidding. i prolly can't ski as pretty as some, but i surely with stick any run, i've already skied a 14er, and i shave without a razor.

still think i suck?

well, in the three years i've been skiing i bet i can ski most anything those 'pro's' i listed can, probably

well lets see...

Seth is a tool

Shane sucks

Chris Dav is on crack

Ian Mac smells weird

wow, a thread dedicated all to me...me, me, me!

just remember you little scally wags....a douchebag without scent is a like a mute grab with no 360

yes, i do



depends on who's judging
