Best way to watch is to mute the video and play your favorite song! We're looking for good music for videos with artists permission, shoot us a message if you know someone that might want to partner for the next one.

You backflip off of cliffs that most people wouldn't even drop into. Insanely awesome! Also, @2:08 is such a sick, tight drop-in!

[@mamumaumau7205]

That is some rowdy skiing!!! These guys and some women too have taken skiing to a new level of skill and bravado!!!

[@jcabotl]

Such a fluid style!

[@zerospins]

You make it look easy. Artful. Like Horowitz use to say, the greatest classical pianist of all time, "It is easy".

[@user-hu7fu4pc1f]

[@gregood]

I am absolutely 100% sure... you are crazy ! 👍

[@cvn6555]

Really impressive skiing.

[@heleezy]

My dad used to live out in Tahoe, he would tell me so many stories of him at squaw, like hucking the palisades and jumping cliffs. Too bad he had me and decided to move to New York.

[@PDGX]

Learn to ski Hunter and Mt Snow; then after some West Coast powder days you’ll be hooked!

Go to winter park, CO please

[@zerospins]

Why?

[@alexfelts3104]

@@zerospins maybe next year, because there is some sick terrain that is not open right now. (Thanks)

[@causeitsthere]

When this was filmed at Squaw valley it was better than palishames.

[@Kelseyrocks]

Owen Leeper what are these songs

[@haleeps]

Teach me to flip.

[@zerospins]

Deal!

[@philipbassist8255]

Icelantic make some quality stuff! Got to ski one of the garage made sets. Pretty amazing how a 160 could be so stable. Good work Ben!

[@johnr7895]

When was this filmed? I just left Squaw on the 3rd after skiing all last week and didn't catch Owen when I was there🤔

[@O_leeps]

March 28th & 29th

[@deeemm979]

Idk, he didn't backflip that one cliff, guess I can look past it 😅 Great riding, makes me want to get after it!

[@deeranfam4500]

Do a backflip dude!!

Are those the 2020 nomad 115's?

[@O_leeps]

Yes

[@Kelseyrocks]

2:00 where is that?

[@russellswashbuckler]

I wanna say that's the rock at the bottom of Enchanted Forest off of KT. I think it's called Ice Princess or Ice Queen or something. I'll have to find my copy of squallywood to confirm though

[@russellswashbuckler]

Actually it's called Ice Goddess I believe, if you google it, it looks pretty close, but again I'll have to check

[@russellswashbuckler]

Oh maybe it's this, Gaff's Crack? snowbrains.com/squaw-valley-ca-report-simply-surreal-bluebird-powder-day/

[@Kelseyrocks]

thx

[@SoulSkis]

What song is that? I want to make sure I never hear it again. I'd have to kick my own ass if I ever put that in a clip.

[@O_leeps]

read the description

[@laurastevens7607]

Great video, but your choice of music was so bad it was distracting. Yeah, I did turn the sound off.

[@casereagles7896]

You should go to crested butte to try Rambo (55 degree pitch)

[@SolaceEasy]

"Squaw", now Palisades, is a smallish resort, without vert that often has poor conditions of wind and rain. A lot of jumps but no extended challenges.

[@replicatingsps4118]

Incorrect lmao

[@thegrinch7989]

It's the 6th largest ski resort in North America and half of the trails are black or double black

[@ST19859]

SQUAW is one of the most challenging and widely respected mountains in North America, a respectable 3000' of vert and massive variety of terrain. You have typed one of the stupidest comments I have ever had the misfortune of running across

[@Kubakondrat]

great vid! terrible music! wearing pole straps is not a good habit. respect for skills!

[@O_leeps]

Ha, read the description, and not wearing pole straps is for gapers

[@colter7300]

Pole straps are kinda dangerous sometimes

[@hopnglo680]

I was skiing at a resort and the bike park terrain gets used a lot by the skiers in the winter. My pole poked through the snow and down through a slat in the boards that were used for a road gap jump. So I’m just about to leave the lip and my pole is stuck down into the space in the boards...not sure how, but it came out as I left the end of the ramp. So, I feel very lucky to not ruin my shoulder or worse. I’m not sure what is the right answer here. I like the straps, but the off chance you get that pole stuck is potentially catastrophic. Got any words of wisdom Owen??
