Thanks for this Mike. There is something lost in the ski porn of today. Stump et al brought us a little more reality, and we seem to have forgotten some of that.

Thanks. And good choices Dave. I am a HUGE fan of the Japanese night skiing segment from Poor Boyz’ Reasons. It’s so beautiful.

The night skiing segment Nimbus filmed in-bounds at Ski Bowl for Hunting Yeti is one of my favorite segments in a really long time. Being from Vancouver, a city where night skiing is the norm rather than the exception, it captured more of what I love about skiing on a personal level than any Alaska segment ever could.

An even better example, that can be applied broadly, is the foggy chairlift shot Iberg opened Stereotype and Idea with. One of the most iconic images in the history of freeskiing.

Great piece Mike.

This is where I contradict my own writing. Today on Whistler Blackcomb (and many days at WB), the line-ups were absurdly long. You don’t find that in the backcountry…unless it’s a long line of sleds in the Whistler backcountry.

Somehow, it doesn’t surprise me. There’s a lot of dodgy dudes with an excessive amount of drugs and a lot of willing talent with low-paying jobs. The perfect storm of porn…
