[@pclifton4]

"I'll take you for some bump skiing"

[@jillsmcfarland2001]

Send my an angel right now,right now

[@dominicpenalosa5277]

same lol

[@paganskier]

"I'm just happy to be skiing anywhere" - yes sir!

[@keithpritchard8273]

"I ski kinda like your Gandpa... just a little faster." LOVE IT! You ROCK, brother - keep doing what you're doing!!

[@richarddzisiewski7197]

Sometimes less IS more... A lot of todays ski footage is spiny twisty stuff and personally for me clean turns and lines is what skiings about, whether is fast carving of groomed slopes, smooth turns in powder or hacking the bumps. Love this guys skiing !!

[@lkj802]

His Return of the Turn series is my favorite non-racing skiing video on the web! Guy turns like its an art

[@kabooby0]

Marcus is my new favorite skier to watch on KZbin. His turns are ridiculous.

[@average0citizen]

he's my favorite skier, his turns are pure art imo

[@OutsideWatch]

Agreed - like turning on a canvas. Love watching it.

[@FedericoTesta1]

totally agree

[@jshred838]

His style is one of a kind!!

[@Giralt]

Word up!! He's got a powerful style, and love it

[@SamSoMite421]

21st century, Scott Schmidt. And Scott was an Icon, and still is for those old enough to remember.

[@35loafer]

Remember Scott legendary

[@ronaldp4]

And Scot is also a nice guy!

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

Ski film maker Greg Stump introduced Scott Schmidt, Glen Plake and Mike Hattrup to the world in a series of ski films Ike The Blizzard of AAHHH’s, License to Thrill, Maltese Flamingo. Personally I owned copies of these films. I watched them again and again.Scott Schmidt was my ski hero. His style was dynamic. Now I can watch Marcus Caston ski.

[@robertgoodwin4730]

Marcus I’m a fan -Life is good and take the sweet moments to enjoy our passions whenever we can. Suit up and show up and the adventure begins! And bring your humor to get through the scrapes! For people like me you videos/short films leave us laughing and cheering and excited for the next time we’ll be standing at the top of a mountain or a run ready to dance with the SNOW!

[@garethsmith3036]

This dude is officially my new hero

[@LagartijaIncognito]

Awesome video. His turns are so fun to watch. The mid air turns are just beautiful. Would love to see more content on this guy in the future if possible!

[@rterry2752]

Poetry in motion.

[@sprintn918]

Great to see Scott Schmidt style turns with good solid technique again! Or turns in general, for that matter!

[@ClayTJohnson]

Gotta love Marcus!

[@melissalund6198]

Power, elegance and grace in one package. Great vid!

[@brianjulkunen123]

Love he name dropped scott schmidt, i grew up watching his vids, one of the true pioneers.

[@olafcoffey1233]

Making turns cool again is quite the claim in a growing freestyle world

[@Rolixinho]

love his skiing videos

[@dominicpenalosa5277]

i also ski race u12 at tyee ski club british columbia

[@MagnumoftheMountains]

I would argue that Scot Schmidt is the best skier of all time. His smear turn style is legendary. It's beautiful, angular, and powerful. It's how people should aspire to ski (at least, I think.) I try to emulate that in my own skiing. It's pure.

[@steveshea8827]

This guy can buy a turn. He gets it; skiing is ski to snow contact. Not circus acts with skis on.

[@SuperAntichicken]

I like it when skiers make a left turn then a right turn and then a left turn and a right turn and then a

[@OutsideWatch]

left turn and then a right turn and then a left turn and then a

[@georgeg1395]

Great respect from Russia! And wanna ski some bumps - is the most stylish ski video ever!:o)

[@Lump1sh]

Marcus is such a great and relatable character. His skiing technique and style are so entertaining to watch! Damn! Must say I love him. No homo and no homophobia.

[@tummyfullfigger9291]

Seems like a great dude! 👍

[@bigwave7207]

Nice vid. I think it’s laughable how little technical skill most pro skiers have these days. You can be a pro skier for your acrobatic skills, a diminished sense of self preservation, and the ability to change direction and hang on no matter what. The ski community needs more videos of skiers like this guy.

[@27johnny]

Big Wave any examples of pro skiers lacking technical ability come to mind?

[@Shtshowtalks]

Jonny G a lot of good skiers out west lack quick tight turns like eastern tree skiers bc of the open bowls they bomb down, not all but some

[@SkiDaBird]

@@Shtshowtalks I’d put the technical turns of the ridge skiers at my local mountain Bridget Bowl up there with anyone. There are some serious technical skiers out west.

[@rudimatt4218]

Awesome, strong skier. Racers are always the best.

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

I agree with your assessment. Racers ski with a dynamic balance and learn to recover to stay within the gates. When they Free Ski they they are not constrained by the course and gates. They develop reflexes to recover and are very comfortable at high speed.

[@pclifton4]

I don't care what accolades you have, if you win a Rahlves Banzai you are definitely one of the better skiers in the world.

[@cuillinchisholm229]

what's the name of the song at the end

[@jamesdunn9714]

I do not care what is considered cool in skiing, I ski the way I want.

[@sqtreasurehunting269]

Hold up is this guy the guy that voice the x games trick call out in steep? I swear it is.

[@user-iz7zy7rx9t]

what touring binding is that he is on? Green ano......so hot right now.

[@MagnumoftheMountains]

They look to me like Dynafit Super lite 2.0s.

[@FedericoTesta1]

"I just ski". That's what he does

[@kevinhall8949]

I quickly get bored with endless videos of people straight-lining chutes and spines. Having grown up wearing out Maltese Flamingo and Blizzard of Aahhs on VHS, I prefer Scot Schmidt turns! And Mike Hattrup and Jonny Mosely turns too!

[@PhaseSkater]

so much better than those middle aged women who zig zag when they ski down blue slopes

[@urbanrunoff]

well zig zagging is the beginning of the "return of the turn" I laught at all the studs on 110 underfoot floppers going straight on groomers.. or but wiggling edge to edge (still going straight)

[@PhaseSkater]

urbanrunoff it’s all about carving and not ruining the snow for everyone else

[@howski724]

PhaseSkater , In total agreement with you, that’s what snowboarders do. Eff up the hill for everyone else. Cheers!

[@PhaseSkater]

Howski what? Snowboarders are better for the snow than skiers. Snowboarders who suck and scrape snow can smooth out the moguls and choppy snow created by zig zagging skiers. And the advanced snowboards just leave pencil thin lines on the snow or the go straight and flat base the board and it doesn’t even leave a trail in the snow. You’d know that if you left the bunny slopes

[@howski724]

PhaseSkater no bunny slopes for me, been skiing 40+ years. I actually enjoy bump skiing, just saying snow boarders DON’T make the kind of consistent bumps, lines, skiers enjoy. Snow boarder bumps are irregular and elongated. That’s the nature of the snowboard turn. And yes they do flatten the hill, I don’t like it. Nothing like watching a snowboarder standing square to the fall line on the steps sliding straight down, board across the hill. Perfect!! But that’s the world we live in at the resorts now. Used to do most of my skiing in the back country to get away from the crowds, not so much anymore. Sounds like we have very different philosophies. It’s probably our age difference. You are a millennial snow boarder and like it flat, I’m an old school skier and like it bumpy and steep. But to say snow boards are better for the hill? That’s hilarious. You should check out Alta ski resort in Utah some day, great place to go. Oh I forgot they don’t allow snow boarding there. Hmmmm

[@chrisk8187]

Huh...........?

[@anthonysears2899]

American's turn. No way. Too much work. Becoming a lost art!
