    Up and comer: Jonnie Merrill

    Has anybody else noticed this young man tearing up the Wasatch and British Columbia the last few years? He just dropped his 17/18 season edit and it's legit as fuck.

    Link doesn't show.
    It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.

    I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

    I'm comfortable in opining that: this Merrill character is legit. The line at 2:36 had me a little scared.

    I’ve skied with him a few times at Alta. Knew he was a good jibber, but didn’t realize he was stepping it up so much in big terrain. Nice work. A lot of these kids are really starting to throw down some nasty stuff.

    The speed he carries through some of those trees is puckering.

    He's way to tall to be a pro skier.

    And he was kind of flailing his arms a bit.
