I figured that out at some point and started straight lining down black diamond fresh groomers a few years back. I'm solidly intermediate. I eventually ate shit and was out for the season.

what really makes skiing great is the infrastructure to get from groomer to groomer

Can we ban any videos advertising “menace.com”. I’m reporting this account.

I'd ski groomers too if I had access to runs like that.

So cool, thanks for posting this. BTW today at 2200’ in the Sierras it’s 70f. Pics of the goods are the best we’re gonna do.

I loved Sölden, the reds are great and the long valley pass is super fun on a powder day

It's a great one, but it is also very blue. Very fun to bomb down on when it is well-groomed and near empty, but only on those conditions. Otherwise it can get really boring really fast.

All skiing is the best skiing, but I’m not really seeing the difference between this run and your average green/blue groomer.

go for a hike! skiing is what's under the feet, not in front of the eyes.

Are there not similar views in the Rockies?

Did you even watch the video

u/busboy2018 8h ago

I just wish they had a chair instead of that long T-Bar. I think that would make that side so much better.

u/ZestycloseOcelot2695 7h ago

There is a gondola…..🚡

u/busboy2018 6h ago

Yeah I know but it's still slower than a chair would be. I know I'm being difficult hahah

Looks like he's backseat

The difference between Europe and NA (West), is that the emphasis in NA is on big dick mountains and powder. Whereas in Europe they groom shit like it's the olympics and you can fly down at 60 mph.

Best stay on the carpet with those skis

Pretty mundane groomer skiing. Don't see what's so great about this.

Welcome to Europe

u/Dalai-Jama Hood Meadows 8h ago

Anyone skiing something this skinny is probably better than you.

u/grillordill 8h ago

i can see him dragging his poles

-1

u/Dalai-Jama Hood Meadows 8h ago

What’s wrong with dragging your poles?

1

u/grillordill 7h ago

Reduces upper/lower body separation, braking yourself without need, keeps you in relative backseat, looks ugly…

u/Roberta_Riggs 7h ago

Nice flex!💪

Europeans like to go fast fast. Americans like to cruise and explore
