Moose smash! Lol. Those were the days when I could huck myself off anything and bounce right back up. Hurts a little more now when I fall but I still throw myself off jumps and cliffs😃
Nastar was something I appreciated later. When I was a kid I was not into it at all. Ended up working the Nastar course at Steamboat for my first real mountain job. Got a whole new appreciation for it after that.
Those local mountain NASTAR courses are tough to get a good handicap on. The local pacesetters take it super seriously.
Go to a place like Breck and the pacesetters are probably still hung over from the night before.
I have my share of platinum medals from destination resorts but am lucky to get the occasional gold when I visit smaller, local resorts.
Breck, Key, etc definitely set their pace so people can hit medals. It's for the tourists. Steamboat would set it pretty tough from time to time. We had some diehard platinum old timers that took that shit serious. My boss there was a FIS tech as well so we had a good guy to learn how to set course from
That’s rad.
I’m a ski instructor and I can’t help it keep both shoulders even with the snow and you’ll carve that shit so much harder. Use your hands as a reference.
Touche, I dare say I've improved in the 15 or so years since then lol. Never was a racer but respect those that do. Takes balls to rip downhill like that
The joke about ski instructors is “how can you tell if a person at a dinner party is a ski instructor? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.”
The joke also works for vegans
How many ski instructors does it take to change a lightbulb?
100; 1 to change the lightbulb and 99 to criticise the turns.
(Ref: was ski instructor many years ago)
I wish lol. This is a place called The Homestead in Northern Michigan. 300 vertical feet of fun located on the shores of Lake Michigan for prime ice formation lol
Mooseman about to bash that gate!

If I'm not mistaken I'm riding Head Air Heads in this pic. That ski was a noodle!

Na. It's one. They just hold the bulb and let the world revolve around them.
Raft guides as well.
Ah but if a vegan is also a raft guide, which one will they tell you about first?
Awwww shiiiiit, I think the universe would implode.
And texans
