Name gives me shivers....

Brings back memories of BMC (RIP )

While I think he's got balls for going big etc... There is no real skiing in there. Maybe I'm just old but I like to see people link some turns with good form. To me this video is just a bunch of hucking shit and check turns.

Wut he said. Perfect snown conditions make it coo. Kids got amazing balance but it'd be so much nicer to see some real turns instead of hockey stops on water skis.

Get off my lawn...

I watched a few seconds of his skiing and thought the same thing. Lots of flail. Respect the send!

[neck beard]

Impressive, but most of it looks like the same 7 second clip on loop. And none of it looked like skiing that skiers know. I think these edits are made for the gratification of the "athlete" and sponsors, not for skiers.

[skiitsbetter]

I don't know what video you guys were watching but I saw plenty of skiing.

[Sessiøn]

Are you guys fucking kidding me right now?

[Sol Skier]

love all the stylie air and nose buttery deep pow. that' s how I do it in my dreams.

[muted]

Anyone complaining needs to hand in their fat skis and get their AARP card on their way out. You must already have your PSIA cards, so no need to wait for that.

[TG]

I love the requisite shot of outrunning the almost-intentionally caused avalanche.
then a bonus shot of the rad little dude going through a concussion protocol.
all in the first couple of minutes

really needs to demonstrate his manhood?
next time I want to see footage of the skull split open.
grey brain , red blood and deep deep silky pow would make for a well-composed shot.

sick!
"absolutely insane"!

that was impressive, high quality stoke

I know, right???? I wish I could ski like that.

[el hefe]

To the people hating on the tree deep pow skiing segments.... did you watch the end big mtn segment?

[Ducky]

Maybe Sammy needs to throw down with Candide. That would really bring out the idiots.

[grskier]

Candide is a stronger skier on bigger lines.

I loved the video, but already knew that I wasn't going to be watching great turns. That opening pow seg was ridiculously deep.

[DeathVan]

Deep pow nose butters and fun in the air, hip dragging 50* walls, ripping lines and spinning a fucking mid slope 7 in the big mountains !!!

Straight fire kick ass edit !

don't think he has the style of Candide or composure. He skis great but .......

[SnowMoJo]

He's likely better than 98% of any skiers here, so whatever. That was a dopeass clip and his steez is kudo worthy. Loved it. Loved the content. Loved the variety. Straight up awesome fun loose and groovy rippin'... Zero problems with any of it.

[el hefe]

Oh..... and first time hearing thee oh sees in a ski flick. Big props for that, gave me goosebumps.

[brutah]

I thoroughly enjoyed that. good music selection, great skiing. i guess haters gonna hate. jealous ones still envy.

I agree. I'm really tired of these shots that glorify skiing out of slides. For lack of a better word, it's stupid. Even with well-known skiers dying in avalanches in the past few years, it's managed to remain a practically mandatory shot in ski movies. If I wanted to watch people making bad choices, there's no shortage of that on the internet.

[neck beard]

I love the way lovers hate the way haters hate.

It was very impressive, just.... Look how good I am, repeatedly.

Fuck, I'm stoked that it didn't start with some reflective winter scenes, somber atmosphere acoustic music, and a creaky ambient voice-over like someone remembering a long lost friend. Way too self important and not fun at all.

I'll take show-off over self-important. But four minutes is enough.
