How to not ski east coast bumps

[@gois3r]

there were so many moments where it looked like you completely lost control but you somehow managed to pull it through every time. nice skiing

[@johnramsayskier]

thanks!

[@ryanrichardson5951]

This video really gets me hyped up for skiingfast paced and fun

[@KennethDuda]

Man oh man I wish I could ski like that. You turn the nastiest looking bumps into dance partners. Unbelievable skiing. Please post more ski vids!

[@johnramsayskier]

thanks I am looking forward to this ski season that is quickly approaching, I have all new gear and a all new go-pro! ill be sure to add a few!

[@jackkang9034]

finally, a worthy opponent to Donny Pelletier

[@Mroscoe47]

His style is so sendy. It's the best thing ever

[@greensombrero3641]

wow! great skiing - incredible. you are on fire there

[@CodyLundin007]

This was wicked fun to watch. Hyped!!

[@human.rationally]

This piqued my interest in east coast skiing a few years back ended up working a season there cause of this. Back west now but I'm a lot better of a rider

[@RG-xi3rd]

That's the way I ski, kind of on the edge of being out of control. But it gets the adrenaline pumping, so is the only way to ski for me.

[@johnramsayskier]

Very Much relatable!

[@martinzhang8411]

I heard my knees crack while watching this video. =DD

[@johnramsayskier]

If there not cracking are you really having fun?

[@lorimitchell4280]

Super Cool. Nothing I'd ever try. I'm an intermediate skier and am quite comfortable with that! Last time I was at Burke was around 1987-88 when I was in high school. Can't wait to take my kid to Burke sometime. Awesome mountain!

[@jarvisyang6893]

Very dangerous slope 😯

[@johnramsayskier]

I don’t know about all that now but it sure was fun!

[@drewmanning1025]

Nice full speed GS turns through the bumps with some air.

[@j1mmy69_]

Absolutely shreaded that shit dude, very impressive skiing.

[@doityourdarnedself]

That's impressive no matter where you are. I've lived in CO for 40 years.

[@yokoohnoismygmail]

That looks like the most sick trail ever, your style is rad bro.

[@scottrobertson9788]

Nasty! That’s awesome!

[@mtadams2009]

For those of you hating on the east remember this the west lets you think you are much better than you truly are.

[@johnramsayskier]

Scott Gibson well said Sir!

[@ttruong225]

seriously

[@pearldiver7]

Sounds like west envy to me. (just kidding with ya. I grew up skiing NE boilerplate and can testify how much fun east coast skiing is, and how many great east coast skiers there are, regardless of the snow conditions. )

[@mtadams2009]

@@pearldiver7 I love West coast skiing. Strange thing is my last four trips have been average at best. Jackson Hole, Snowbird and Alta. Five years ago I skied Alta after a very warm day followed by a cold day, one of the worst days in my life. Funny thing is people were yelling and cheering from the lift as my wife,.my friends and I ripped bumps under the lift. We felt right at home. Lol

[@pearldiver7]

@@mtadams2009 sounds like you're like me Scott, enjoying skiing wherever we get to do it. I've had great days in the east, in the Rockies, West coast, and amazingly even in the upper midwest. Here's to many more great days for all of us.

[@BreauxSegreto]

Sick! 💪⛷

[@explorermike19]

Wow! That is some tight skiing!

[@johnramsayskier]

just out here tryin to have a good time! about to get back into skiing this winter, shopping for new gear now! its been a few years!

[@DarkTenka]

Interesting mogul strats ...

[@johnramsayskier]

Strat is send it 👍

[@j.thomas7128]

Watch the shadow... lol

[@Raumance]

Holy shit that looks fun. Makes me miss skiing.

[@johnramsayskier]

I’m trying to get back into it myself!

[@andrewsteavpack9079]

The FIS Slalom skis make the send go that much harder

[@johnramsayskier]

Yes because once upon a time someone used to ski race and needed a set of beaters

[@andrewsteavpack9079]

@@johnramsayskier makes it even more sendy

[@isapais3774]

My thoughts exactly.

[@KZ-yu4jz]

Looks like you are having a blast. Clearly a great skier letting loose. You should post more ski videos, that video was pretty sweet!

[@johnramsayskier]

Working on some good skiing content this winter, it’s been a few years but we got a new go pro and I have more free time!

[@dankane4193]

thats what i call skill.

[@human.rationally]

Dope

nice job

[@therealryan55]

To the moon!

Can't count how many times he was 0 health

[@johnramsayskier]

It’s been about 26 years of zero health tbh

[@localhero203]

this dude can ski

[@tylerwilson2280]

Send it dude

[@RyGuyTheAVGuy]

I've only ever skied the east coast, people say if I can ski hear I can probably ski anywhere. I was bred to deal with ice lolol

[@johnramsayskier]

You will find it treats you well elsewhere!

[@siliconebobsqpts]

Yeah Baby !!!

[@skibumalldasy]

Sick bro. Was that the red barn at Stowe at the end? I'm at whiteface now

[@johnramsayskier]

Nope that’s the bottom of the Poma at Burke!

[@joeyb2995]

Where were the bumps? All I saw was someone practically tucking it down a hill with some tiny features that could be potentially maybe be called bumps somewhere but definitely not in Colorado.

[@johnramsayskier]

Clearly not, as the title says east coast bumps, thanks for the view and the observation!

[@lukebadurski6165]

I never thought i would see someone ski the same way i do lol

[@johnramsayskier]

Eyyy let’s rip some turns sometime!

[@Recon-go7yg]

My knees hurt after watching this 😭

[@johnramsayskier]

Never heard of em

[@thethreebros4210]

Siiickk!

[@AndrewShaidurov]

RIP knees

[@johnramsayskier]

Knees never heard of her

[@MorganBrown]

Boo, I was hoping for a Fred making an ass of himself. Instead, I just got full send. ;-)

[@johnramsayskier]

Morgan Brown I am always trying to send a little!

[@maxberns5791]

Nice skiing

[@purpletopturnip4113]

accurate title

[@SaucyTacos2001]

best way to ski/snowboard moguls: bomb the first one and catch as much air as possible, while you’re in the air, close your eyes and start praying

[@johnramsayskier]

Huck and pray 🤘🤘

[@wyattrogers1451]

Slush is better than ice

[@visedbarbecue6633]

For bad skiers maybe...

[@ludoms100]

for park yee ice without moguls is insane fun with sharp skis

[@user-qz8cu3li4z]

Where is it? I like your style

[@johnramsayskier]

That was at Burke in Vermont!

[@coogano]

First how to: Don't ski. Second: avoid trails with bumps on them.

[@johnramsayskier]

Are you handing out lessons oh knowledgeable one?

[@BoolaBear]

Hmm... I'm not sure this is how "not" to ski bumps... But I'm not sure if it's 'exactly' how to ski bumps either... Let me know if you need me to come out there and show you 'exactly' how to ski some east coast bumps🤷🏻‍♂️

[@johnramsayskier]

Let’s go for a rip Mr. Assassin!

[@jackwillard3879]

Hey I think I’ve skied here before

[@johnramsayskier]

Good stuff my guy, ski the east!

[@jasonlee8033]

Where were the bumps? Plus you can tell by his shadow he's not ready. I was spoiled by Mary Jane. Winter Park. That mountain will learn ya

[@johnramsayskier]

burke vermont, if you are trying to teach some ice, im always down to learn a little more, bumps are not really my thing 🤣 that was a few years ago though!

[@willhuey410]

Mary Jane is the tourist spot of Winter Park, there's like 1 double black and almost no mogul's. This is far harder, especially considering the mogul's r icy af all the time out here

[@greygraham5361]

J Ramsay burke the best east coast mountin

[@RT-tn4ry]

Pack up and go west !

[@johnramsayskier]

Went and bought a plane ticket cause you said so….went the wrong way, suppose the alps will do!

[@jerrymcsendee]

West coast skiers who have never skied the east (and except for those who grew up here and migrated is ~ 95%) have no frame of reference, and should not bother opining. Like Donny, or a child who wanders into the middle of a movie, they're out of their element. There are many techniques to ski bumps, and there are many different types of bumps in the east. Dude was taking these at speed, a legitimate, less technical, but fun method. From what I could see, the only time he wasn't in balance was when he took air - back seat but never back slap. Dude was on flat tailed carvers. Impressive. I do this sometimes, take a wildly inappropriate ski somewhere it doesn't belong. Sometimes I'll take my 130mm Praxis into Black Hole at Smuggs. I call it resistance training. Switch to a tree ski for the next run

[@johnramsayskier]

Race skis out of their element is my favorite game!

[@hbgap3596]

Hot! Dog!

[@carterbman]

East coast double black. Lol

[@dankane4193]

no doubt.

[@Snap-Time]

@Ternedo3 2:00 - The trail he is skiing is marked as a double black.

[@Ryan-wu4xj]

Carter it's pretty hard to understand the steepness and the conditions of the snow if ur watching a video instead of actually skiing .

[@emilysmith2110]

Ryan Kane yes

[@rckrckrckrck]

Burke is a smaller mountain so the double blacks there are not equivalent to Stowe, Jay, Killington, Sugarloaf, Sugarbush, etc.

[@jwbaker1561]

Your asking for an injury

[@johnramsayskier]

With proper technique as well as proper stretching and exercise this is actually not too harsh.

[@jwbaker1561]

You need to make much shorter turns

[@emilysmith2110]

Great skiing but why is it so sped up

[@johnramsayskier]

Emily Smith not sped up at all. If you'd like to see it in person I ski a few days a year still

[@user-yq3zx2et7o]

It's survival, bun not skill. Do you know how to ride mogul?

[@sohlbergk]

Um, it takes a good bit of skill to carry that kind of speed through scraped-off bumps. Agree is isn't "mogul skiing" in a traditional sense, but don't be dissin' it.

[@johnramsayskier]

I know the proper way, but also notice the title, I trolled myself a bit 🤣
