Funny, the people that have ski technique defend it. The people with none or little laugh at it and talk about flow, lines and challenging terrain.

so I have no technique at all? right......
I just dismiss it so easily because I know that technique with no strength, or atheletism is useless!! to accomplishing how I ski.


The non technique crowd say "what good is technique if you can't ski these rad lines"

I actually do not say that. Good technique helps a ton. These guys are younger than me, but I know I can still watch them fall apart on day skiing with me. Which isnt my goal well untill someone starts trying to be a hardass to me(which admittly I am a hardass), then I literally try to run them in the ground with no apologies. I would love to ski with these guys because A. they probably are fun to ski with. B. IF they are no I can still use superior technique and athleticism and ski them on super technical bump runs with thin cover and hardpack.


The tecnique group says "what good is skiing those lines if you look like that"

because its fun!! really no other reason.








Liam I am in the extra's of the new Meathead film in the extended Stowe Segment. Purple pants/yellow jacket skiing icey bumps at stowe.  Hopefully I can film with them this year on some better days.

FYI Radio Ron SUCKS at skiing! He get in due the personality and not on skiing skill.

the reason why a ton of people dislike me is the fact I am hugely confident and see humbleness as false modesty.  It hard to argue someone who is younger, more driven, and probably better than you....with that it doesnt make me right. it just makes anything I do wrong skiing less likely to bring me down. Athleticism matters a ton skiing.  There is a reason I run, mtb bike(roadies are freaking lame!), lift weights, and do yoga. It basically so I can continue to be on this high horse and know that I can back it up all the time.
