"Let's Take A Lap!" Snowbird with Andrew Pollard

I didn't plan to have so many episodes with Apoll, but I'm not mad about it! It was a blast shredding with Andrew again this season, ( Mid Feb23) we pretty much covered the whole mt. The loose concept of LTAL was to follow one continuous line, and some episodes may end up more that way. But in this case this chopped up "tour" version of our whole day made more sense.

There is something incredibly soul satisfying about watching A Poll ski. His obvious stoke is on full display in his skiing and he makes it look so effortless and fun.

[@sagePerspective]

On point!! I agree.

[@zachmclean2858]

Bro. Thank you so much for these videos. I’ve never been able to ski with high level skiers before and this makes it seem like you are with them. I’ve been watching them for a couple months in between trips and I gotta say.. I skied probably 3x better today than I ever have. Your videos really helped me step my game up and feel more confident to charge that tougher terrain.

[@sagePerspective]

Oh Yes! that's so awesome. I totally can relate! Thanks for watching!!!

[@tsibillkerr]

This is one of the most immersive ski videos I have seen in a long time . GJ! ;-)

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks so much, new episodes every week during the winter! cheers

[@mountainstomarshes8966]

When you're launching 360s off the cat road into the crud and making it look easy, you know you've arrived.

[@sagePerspective]

bingo! haha

[@bob15479]

the way they just seeeeeend down a whole field of moguls is amazing. I don't understand how to emulate it.

[@MnnicE15]

Great skiing guys! Very fun to watch. I worked for Snowbird for two years from 13-15. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about the great Wasatch mountains. Rip one for me!

[@sagePerspective]

What a great place! glad you got a few seasons there. Ive moved but its fun to go back!

[@NotComrade1]

I love him just going "huh, 'kay" then sending it off a huge hit with no second thoughts.

[@sagePerspective]

hahah Yep!

[@Jman_Bnd.og73]

WOW! Super technical moves in full view of the chairlift = don't f#@! up.

[@sagePerspective]

hahaah Hollywood!

[@russcontact]

Such strong skiers, great vid! Watching this, especially skiing the cat tracks and crossovers, reminds me of a day when I skied with a guy I met on the chair. After the 2nd run I mentioned “man you’re a pretty good skier” and he told me he raced on the world cup circuit for a while. Im a good skier, have skied my whole life and work in the industry, but keeping up with that guy took work These guys are a notch above that Impressive. Love it!

[@sagePerspective]

Thanks!! much appreciate it and cheers1

[@dawsonellis8485]

This video was awesome. I grew up skiing snowbird and still go there on a weekly basis. I’ve done many lines near or on places from this video. You guys make it look so so easy! Truly I was in aww watching. That cliff a little down from the get serious chutes was nuts. I would hike out before going off that.

[@sagePerspective]

haha thanks Dawson, quite the place!

@@sagePerspective I would, but I’m in the Midwest where there’s not super hard runs (or good snow). I got out to Copper Mountain recently and could do almost all the runs, but confidence was another thing. It’s just so much more expensive to go places like that when you don’t live near real mountains

Thanks Will!

[@TerjeMathisen]

I lived in Utah 1991-92, at that time the powder would last a lot longer due to far less skiers (basically nobody local was skiing). Late spring I managed 11 consecutive trips up with the same gondola, skiing the moguls straight down to take the same gondola up again, obviously without any lift lines whatsoever!

[@sagePerspective]

The Glory days!

[@CBonesey]

Playful and scary :) I like Andrew's style, he is one of favourite skiers on FWT!

[@sagePerspective]

haha yep that what it feel like chasing Andrew around!

[@alexsurh1472]

Its crazy but you can actually feel how the snow feels by the sound of the video and how the snow reacts to everything.

[@sagePerspective]

nice!

[@hotliner2872]

I was like who is this dude chasing this other dude around Snowbird, not sure I heard of AP but he sure can ski. But I was more impressed with the photographer! Not just keeping up but completely crushing the same lines (the better of the two 😛?).... then I noticed the "photographer" was Sage & it all made sense. I just love it when the world is skewered sideways on it's axis until you see one detail and then it all makes sense.

[@sagePerspective]

hahaha, Glad you liked the vid and thanks for the perspective! 👊

I’m looking into getting new skis. I want to get a freeride ski, what would you recommend? ( I’m 5 ft 5” and 115 lbs if that matters at all)

the Bentchetler 110 from atomic is amazing all round ski. it comes in three sizes so there is a good fit for your size for sure!

you hit that FAT shifty at the end of the vid, that was sick

Shifty is my fav trick for sure!! haha thanks

Sage, why your two bent 110 skis has the same top sheet? :)

Good question! Secret skis from the future with Bentchetler 110 Graphics!

also how you liking the 110s. I got the 120s coming from 2010 sir francis bacons. Hopefully i can be good all mountain LOL

the 120 and the 110 bentchetler are great all mt skis for sure, 110 excelling in all and handling the firmer days a little better.
