[el hefe]

[TAFKALVS]

fixed.

just wait until all the female snowboarders sideslip a bunch of it.

[el hefe]

ok that was rad!

[TAFKALVS]

agreed.

[pow_pow~]

it's back

venue doesn't look like it has many features. just not impressed by these venues in Japan, I really wish they would bring back revelstoke.

they have much bigger faces but with all the snow the avy dangers are way too high. I agree does feel quite bland though.

Travis rice and Tanner Hall to win

[CascadeLuke]

Bowls and faces in background look dope

I think the skiers will be sending it signficantly bigger and make it look better.

[TAFKALVS]

[El Kanone]

Man, Eder killed it.

[TAFKALVS]

Berkeley Patterson is oft's son.

Marcus Eder's run was sick!

[TAFKALVS]

here he is!

(sweet run, looked way more solid than t-hall)

[meter-man]

That backie was sick!! Nice work Thing 2!

T-Rice: damn. T-Hall: wow, very impressive.

I love Yann's style.

personally I thought tanners skiing looked sloppy. sweet hits though.

[PNWbrit]

Thing 2..

Well fucking done oft.

You raised a tribe .

[pow_pow~]

the visual inspection only also doesn't really help. wouldn't be easy to know where anything is, it appears quite a few people have missed their planned features already

[El Kanone]

Nice solid run for Berkeley

Personally I felt Eder was pretty much out of control. Arms waving back seat but super fast and aggressive
Judging is hard
Not a lot to work with on venue

Ok, so I love these guys but Tanner's run was loose as shit, and how did Aymar beat thing #2? And Kye? He fucking crashed! Grrrrr.

Thanks for all the vibes. Time for a fucking cocktail.

FWIW, He had a good time but was kinda bummed about his score.

they probably were afraid Tanner would quit if they scored him poorly the first venue. maybe with a tantrum.

Aymar had a really unique line, that triple was burly.

Kye's line was meh, looked really loose/sloppy and he basically skied the same line as everyone else. Very little fluidity at the bottom too.

You can never take a judged event too seriously. It is far to personal a thing. It is more about enjoying the display. The top names will always score a bit higher because they bring the money.

Fun to watch. I can't imagine trying to throw tricks or hit those micro landing zones on a visual inspection only, big props to all who skied.

One of my favorite parts was that drone shot following Thing 2 right out the gate, you don't really get a sense of speed from the long range shot the usually film. Dude was haulin'.

Aymar did have a pretty unique line, thought that was pretty sick. I agree Tanner was a bit loose, but you have to reward the fact that he pretty much threw a trick off every hit he took.

The guy who took 3rd (pfeifer bro?) seemed to ski fast through the whole thing, which I found impressive considering he was basically last to drop into cut up snow.

Do they factor in the prior tracks? Do judges realize that you might have to improve a bit more if you drop last due to prior tracks/bombs?

Edit to add:
Easy to say when it’s not my kids.

Yeah, sorry I forgot to give props to Alto. Well done yo.

Still a bit surreal fer sher.

That venue is awkward.

[TahoeJ]

Tanner was loose but also did a lot of nice tricks and really got a lot out of that face.

Venue is a little too micro IMO, forcing everyone to pick their way around more than we're accustomed to seeing.
