not sure what year that is, but that's not '97.
Swanwick did have a wicked sick run through the triangle as a course forerunner, but he wasn't competing...nor were most of those guys...not sure what year you found there.

The question isn't, "what is extreme skiing?" The real question is...

WHAT IS LOVE?

Hey Gosey! I've been stalking you on facebook, meaning, I like read your updates. Apparently anyone who actually reads facebook instead of simply spewing about themself is a stalker....but anyway, post up that Snowmass backflip, that was SICK!

Yeah, you're really the perfect picture of indifference.

My two cents: Extreme skiing is only possible with skis narrower than 90mm waist.

Troubles in the world got you down? Take a little trip back to '95; chillax and enjoy.

**heckacali** · 08-21-2021, 11:43 AM

Dat yardsale @1:30 where the skis didn't release. Ugh. Rip knees.

**bodywhomper** · 08-21-2021, 11:50 AM

Truly missed the mark in that news segment. No ski ballet?

**JayPowHound** · 08-21-2021, 01:00 PM

This thread delivers the nostalgia, both in terms of skiing and TGR banter.. thanks for the bump!

So are they saying we'll be cured once we get enough SSRIs in us?

What’s up with some of the other “Rock Stars”of extreme skiing?

Can Aaron McGovern even walk?

Here’s the whole thing:

My mom told me recently that she knew about this specific crash, and knew this was what I was trying to do with my life (I was the only skier in my family, and I moved to Crested Butte to ski the “extreme”), she basically wrote me off.
And to her psychologically everything that has happened since then has happened to a dead man walking, because she felt like I had some kind of death wish screws loose thing if I could see that and still want to be a part of that kind of skiing.
Her words were like “I saw you watch that awful footage of a guy tumbling to his death (that’s what she thought) and it didn’t even phase you, so I kind of prepared for the worst “…or something like that.

Anyway, thanks for the memories Garrett Bartelt.
