I'm with Patrick, riverc0il and NH on this one. Reading the T4T forum I noticed that m@ is a Tucks regular (he has Tucks videos from 2 past seasons), he got up there that day and saw saw perfect weather and forgiving snow conditions (like Mammoth last Saturday), so he decided to take a chance on making the day memorable. Back up for his second run the snow had hardened, so not only did m@ decide not to spend another $100 :wink:, he changed his plan of which run to ski.
The surprises and diversity of ski experiences is what keeps many of us addicted. It seems like nearly everyone up there, including kids, viewed this incident favorably. Like river and NH, I'm curious if joegm has ever set foot on a 40+ slope. When Adam was at Mike Douglas' camp, the group did climb and ski a couloir overlooking the Horstman Glacier, and the campers who spent all their time on their home hills in the terrain parks didn't handle it very well. Do Smart's mogul campers do this too? If so please send riverc0il your camp video so he can critique it.
The video needs a soundtrack. David Rose's "The Stripper" is close to the 1 minute 45 second length.
