The guy? is obviously a freakn' great skier....not only backcountry but in the park...

Gotta be a pro or sponsered.

I was impressed by the smoothness of his transitions,....how calm his upper body seemed to be. This skier is very fluid for sure and what great lines he skied Loved the snow conditions and the drops. I'm guessing some 10 - 15 footers.....and the pillow drop....it was like being there dropping in myself.

Sweet. This is one of those video's Ill need to revisit through the summer months for sure!

Thanks for posting this Ron....G

frickin' fast too!  Amazing balance!  Notice how his head and upper body is always facing downhill, never turns. I am 90% sure this is the same guy we saw up off off the tram area at JH in January.

JB.....for sure!

Hey Ron....probably no way to find out...we both have seen some pretty awesome "out of the rocks" skiers at JH...

I find that all around skier with sick skills is just a beautiful thing to watch. I think it keeps us wanting to evolve and experience more of what the mountain has to offer.

Still....for me it's been a great season so far and I'm thankful there's more coming!

Gary, this guy was skiing up in cheyenne Bowl and me, Phil, Tyler and Rachel we were coming off one of the Bivouac runs into Cheyenne bowl.  We were watching him take 20'ers and going switch off some other features, he was wearing red & white jacket/pants (new school design) Rachel sees this guy take a 20' er and just jokingly wanted to know if he was single.   Very emasculating....... .   ;D

Been unable to access the video for the second straight day, says "service unavailable".

It reminded me very much of our last day at Jackson which was a Saturday with new big powder. I've never, repeat never, seen such a high level of skiing. I felt like a snowplower. Real time ski ****.

Waiting in the liftline for Thunder Chair was a treat. Skiers coming down the face right above it were just ripping lines where no one could ski days  before due to lack of snow. The liftline observers were just "hootin and hollorin". Great day.

YES!   ;D  it really is.  I think he's marketing for Go-pro cams.
