Great skiing Jeff. We met at Mary Jane in 2014 when I flew over from Germany for Bumpupalooza. Still there, still tilting at moguls, this season on touring skis!

In Colorado we had a permanent snow field that we called St. Mary's Glacier. We had to hike it but I skied it on the 4th of July several times and did the skiing for a ski commercial that we filmed in late July 1978. I got the worst sunburn of my life that day. I was working in restaurants and had no tan so the next day working in the 100 degree kitchen was horrible.

blizzard of ahhhs

do you remember when they put up the orange fencing at the top of The Wall to stop us from hucking it? Then we just shot the gap instead. Good times.

Ski over moguls not around them avoiding the real mogul.

Hi

great bump skiin !! Its becoming a lost art. Keep it up....

crazy...

I ski at pineknob now and the wall is indeed still there! I love the wall

Hey Jeffy, Taos Todd. Great stuff. We are having a rough start down here in New Mexico as far as snow fall this year. I'll see if I can make to Bupaplooza this go around.

I think both techniques look great.. I saw Joey at the Mogul Championship back at Snow Valley back in the 80's. Phenomenal skier for that time and skill at the time. I actually skied with Jeffy at the Bumpapalooza meet up at Winterpark Colorado. He and the others like Don, Brian Patrick and Mike and others are fantastic. Simply different styles, but both are very tight and controlled.

Thanks for posting. This is the type of video that we love at PowderCam.com. Videos that show what it’s like on a mountain. So, we have added a link to it. You can check it out here: www.powdercam.com/video/ujQ58iI7LBA If you prefer that we do not share it, please let us know. The choice is yours.

lock them knees out on twisters bra!

Is "THE WALL" !! still there or is it closed off? And Hamburger Mansion!?

Black Toque Cross Checking Dem Mogulz!

I wouldn't do these again with my knees now. Great Daffy Duck Heli!

I just saw a comment below... I actually don't telemark. That's not me next to my brother at 6:59 just for the record.

My god... This is great!

RIP Keese.

beautiful turns. concentration on still upper body is fantastic.

This is by far the most desirable modern Honda.

Thanks : ) I agree with what you said, that rookies will do better pole planting on top. I like to reach for the backs because it keeps my hands lower when I absorb deep on huge moguls (so my hands don't end up by my ear or something when I'm compact). People that get out of the stacked position when reaching may be reaching with their body too much while they should just more aim with the angle of their pole.

i've seen your vid, what's your take on reaching for the pole plant? By the way you are very fast and efficient.

All i got to say is watch Pat Daneen and his hands. Calm and cool (beautiful). I think A.B would crush these guys. With all i've seen on the importance of calm hands it's hard to believe in their method of reaching a bit for the mogul. I've seen alot of rookies reaching and it pulls them out of a stacked position. If you are experienced in bumps go for a further forward plant. Rookies on the other hand will usually end up out of position trying for this method.

What is the fuzz buster for? I cant imagine anyone wanting to speed with that scenery. Dig the Radiohead.

are you guys from oregon

basically i now understand the finer points of SVMM and i think they're great - shane as their mascot is like one of the most exciting bump skiiers i've ever seen - but the insecurity and bitchiness especially from the weaker (and the most vocal) SVMM guys who believe that their low-speed low-impact bump skiing is superior to 'typical' world cup style just because WC isn't SVMM. for all the good SVMM has, i can't get past that level of tackiness!

yeah, i initially scoffed at the dudes because of the attitude, but then i saw the vid of shane, which blew my mind, and i genuinely got curious. problem is some of the SVMM guys, in particular a guy(s) who consistently puts up vids of well-known pros just to bag on them - and the guy in question's own skiing is incredibly weak and hard to watch. i see how SVMM provides ego boost (hence -> philosophy)to guys who'll never hit a certain speed/skill, which is sad because SVMM has great points to it

@r2csnipedya: weird fishes/arpeggi by radiohead

I also still think that they're aiming for a part of the mogul that makes no sense from a technical point of view. Why aim for the biggest part of the obstacle? I don't think the way of absorbing is effective either. Anyway, just my opinion.

I read recently how Joey claims he "invented" SVMM. How do you invent something that is a natural movement for many people? That's like saying "I invented walking with your toes pointed inward". If you're pigeon toed, that's just how it happens, and if that's happening, (being pigeon toed) it's not necessarily a good thing lol. I have seen uncoached skiers sticking their hips out in round turns for years and years, and regardless of how they make it sound, I think that's all they're doing.

"No class".... yeah, I have been noticing these guy's attitudes on the internet more lately than I did before. Now I get why many people have a problem with them. I think these guys are just insecure and they want everyone to believe that they are the best skiers in the world even though they're not, so they start arguments trying to convince people that they're way of skiing is the best, so people will believe that 'they' are the best.

Great Vids! Thursday Afternoon? I made it onto the hot pit that day - definitely memorable! Thanks for posting.

The Jane is the bomb. Never forgot to perform safety meetings in the trees, never left a turn unstoned. Cool vid, Very nostalgic...but coulda used better music.. ; ) Leave no turns unstoned!!

2012, 1 liters are back!

@r2csnipedya It's a radiohead song

A blast from the past, thanks

I would kill for this bike!

how are conditions here in the spring?

The nice thing about skiing the palmer bumps is that they are for the most part used by skiers who usually halfway know what their doing and it maintains a decent zipper line and snowboarders don't constantly shave them down. However it's not steep enough to really hammer em. The best thing is skiing in the middle of the summer an hour away from home.

Hey.. do you have a group photo of guys back in the day. With the red Rain jacket on? Love to see it. ToddB

well done man......looked to be a pretty sweet day.

I feel envious

@tlining Hi Tom.. Boy do I remember you guys...! You guys rocked. What was the guys name that wore that Devo hat? He was such a bad ass. In fact his skiing form impacted me so much that I replicated it to a tee and thats only way I know how to ski. What are you guys up to these days? I hope you continue to ski? I know that I turned 46 this year and I live in New Mexico and Taos is right up the road with some of the best mogul skiing around.

@tlining Hi Tom.. This is Todd B.. You guys rocked.. I remember too those vintage Walkman radios you used to sport that look like doctor stethascopes? Do you know that one guys name that wore the Devo hat? You guys alway ripped the Wall in the Wall contest every year. In fact I wear a red ski jacket to pay homage to you guys. What are you guys doing these days? I hope still active in mogul skiing. Todd

@Gotama456 The lines are technically not open to the public. However, if you are there and ask one of the coaches very nicely if you may ski some runs on their lines if you promise to stay out of the camps way and not hit the jumps, there is usually no problem.

Oh, yeahhhhhh!!!! Guys you are just explosive moguls! WELL DONE!
