Area 52. Hot Possie. Tight pants. Handplants.
Skiing so rad and French it will melt your face… into a baguette.
Powder. The elusive. It exists. THIS season. In the three minutes and nineteen seconds of this video from Line am Dylan Siggers, there are exactly zero shots without a faceshot and an enormous pow cloud billowing around the skier. They say these kind of days are almost upon us in our barren freshwater haven here in Lake Tahoe. Please God or Tim Tebow or Tom Brady, let it be so…
Soooo, I’ll be practicing that in my living room all week. Oh, but is he holding poles? God, that question is even boring when posed sarcastically. Sorry.
Seems to be turning OK.
Look at all that snow just sitting around back in 2010/11. Urban movies are gonna be very bare this season.
In a Top 10 list of the best Top 10 lists, we’d put this one in the top 5. That’s right. So don’t you dare argue that we missed a deserving skier because that’s impossible. We must have sent four emails back and forth finalizing this list. No one has been overlooked. The list is in no particular order, except for JP– he wins.
Best People in Skiing for the 2011 Calendar Year
1) JP Auclair: Last year JP made the decision to step away from Poorboyz and work on a different type of segment. The result? The viral edit of the year. His All.I.Can street segment crossed over to an audience beyond skiers. The only thing to rival this thing’s popularity with the non-skiing set is perhaps Tanner’s “my ankles” video. And thank God this is what went viral and not some video of a superpipe cut into “cubes.”
PA generally, and Big Boulder specifically are well documented incubators for ski talent. Witness Jamie Ficco, Cody Gushlaw, and the one and only Sean Jordan.
Japanese skiing is so damn cool. Why don’t American crews ever shoot with them when they go over there? Oh well, check the sequel after the jump.
