"A Gnarly Sidestep" video by Spooky and mntlion

[b-bear]

195 Hojis kinda fit for me. 192 spurs have LOTS of room

yea that looked tight in a lot of places!
but they cling to the steep mountainsides so well

[jackattack]

My heart is beating faster now.

[jetski]

Pffft... Big deal. Do you even Carve bro?

[foreal]

Rad. Looks a lot different than spring around these parts

Cool, nice to know if I buy some 195 Hoji's I can ski lines like that.

[goldenboy]

"the fine art of mixed skiing" its a canadian rockies thing, not well understood elsewhere.

No, I think we understand that in CO too. Or at least in CB.

yes, very true. It did feel like "home"

[tenB]

Yikes, full respect

[Toddball]

Makes me appreciate our sticky snow out here a bit more.

I also like seeing the hoji's be the ski of choice for the gnarls

“The horror”

[tone capone]

This is honestly the sketchiest thing I think I've ever seen...No desire to ever do a line like that, and it is simply amazing to me that anyone can have the mindset to perform such feats on skis and not fall off the mountain from shaking with terror....and the one guy on Spurs no less. I salute your balls of heavy metal mtnlion.

[1000-oaks]

Yeah...no. Hell no.

I've tried to follow you around bridger, and I would guess you have put in some similar levels sillyness ?

[tone capone]

Nah, I'm more freeride than billygoat. I like to go fast in powder and hit mellow airs. Long steep slopes scare me...especially on my feet or with such consequential and delicate moves above exposure. I get shaky and clumsy in those circumstances. It's really cool to see stuff like this though, I am inspired to take steps to get more comfortable in the truly vertical world.

[anotherVTskibum]

I'm not sure whether I'm inspired to get further out of my comfort zone or to run in fear.

Awesome line, great video.

GRIPPED

[jackstraw]

Well damn! Rowdy rowdy rowdy! You guys have amazing confidence in each other's abilities. Clearly you spent many days together on boards. That was an amazing feat! Hat's off!

[Gepeto]

the still pic @ 4:20 - damn... that doesn't look like the easy way down.

so solid an effort to bring "you fall - you die" in a context that anyone can understand.

mixed skiing - more universally appreciated than one might think

stoke spike

thanks buddy, high praise from you

[wyeaster]

i watched it again last night and although i have never been anywhere remotely as exposed as that, i would think i would be really nervous having somebody so close and right above me so much.
