Hell yeah. Just gotta catch a flight over to Slovenia! It actually looks a lot like skiing Pike's Peak's U-Notch in the spring, something I've always wanted to send.

Re: For a fistful of turns.

I am a two track alpine skier owing to what OGs like you & me call the new skis, because we are 50 (Stenmark, Mahre bros were the models). I brought 'new ski two track' with me over to my tele habit. I love tele. I never walk away from the ski hill thinking, man I wish I had been on my alpine gear ...

Re: For a fistful of turns.

Hmmmm... I don't think you guys understand something. When skiing groom or mellow smooth, untracked pow, or pow over groom, etc, you can steer the inside ski with authority and make high speed long slacker style turns. The runs in the pictures are inbounds heavily skied out chutes with massive crud ...

It doesn't get much better conditions for chute skiing than this.

anemic would say these guys are skiing old school. I'd say otherwise. Pretty badass telemark skiing in my book. Makes me yearn for corn.

Another fun vid.

For those who have never experienced a big Utah dump it is a thing worth experiencing at least once in your life. I grew not far away in Steamboat and we shared the same storm systems that would dump on the Wasatch, but as for mountains it is really hard to beat the Utah areas. https://www.youtube.c...

Re: For a fistful of turns.

That is cool to see you ski though. Which skis are you on? I see your old school “skis together” in a way that I avoid, as a newer tele skier. On my skinnier skis I tend to run my uphill tips into my boots but on more powerful gear I tend to two track it a bit more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapata...

Like falling headfirst into a gargantuan Antlion death cone. The more you struggle the worse it gets.

Re: For a fistful of turns.

Snow conditions look good up there. We've been getting the goods down here in Oregon as well. thanks for posting the videos cheers, JT Wish I'd had my camera not facing so down. It kinda ruins it. I was hoping to capture our best steep runs in prime conditions, instead all you see are skis. I'll fi...
