    Snowblade Stoke Thread

    Skiing has become way too serious. One sure fire way to make skiing fun again is to spend some time on the blades and really get back to the core of what skiing should be about. Plus it's spring time and they make the best gaper day accessory. Embrace your inner blader!!

    Post snowblade stoke to inspire the masses!

    Snowblade Stoke Thread

    Does anybody have good ideas on how to incorporate snow blades into a successful pond skin attempt. I was thinking blade to saucer on the back turtle style combo but I think the speed required along with the tricky transition might prove too much to pull off....

    Definitely try this. Wax the blades and the saucer and report back with a full TR

    Did that one at Targhee a few years ago. Snowlerblade to saucer off the biggest jump into the pond. Made a big splash and got alot of laughs but wasn't exactly my longest skim. I'll try to dig up some pics later
