Hello Brooks. I used to work with a Dennis Curran on the Sugarbush ski patrol in the 1970's. I am speculating that you might be related, like you are a grandson possibly and you might be Tim's son, due to all the skiing and biking photos. Dennis was one of the better skiers there at the time and influenced my own skiing for the better. Anyway, if you see or speak with Dennis, please say hello ! Tom Rood (used to live in Lincoln)
@@brookscurran Thanks for getting back to me. If you were born after about 1975 I would have totally missed knowing about you because I last worked at Sugarbush in the mid-70s and lost touch with everyone. Timmy was an up-and-coming skier and racer too, as I recall. Is he still out there doing it? Your Dad probably doesn't know it but the years I worked at the 'Bush I watched him ski, like a hawk. The first time I saw him spin those boards in the bumps I knew, that's how I want to ski. I wasn't the only one. I often wondered who your Dad watched early on as he was developing his technique ... Other than him, I was a follower of French ski coach and writer Georges Joubert who wrote, "Ski the French Technique" ... The ski bible, as far as I'm concerned. He helped produce notable champions Jean Claude Killy, Patrick Russell, etc. Anyway, although I admired the "classically graceful" style of skiing (Stein Ericksen), I was pretty solid but just a wicked hacker when I first started at Sugarbush and it was a great opportunity to grow as a skier. Challenging terrain and great skiers to work and ski with. Enjoying your videos - great stuff!
104 for me in basically all conditions - the shape is quick/ playful, and the metal keeps them composed a high speeds in even the worst snow conditions. Can’t imagine a more balanced combo for off piste east coast skiing.
@@brookscurran Thanks brother. Yeah, deciding between the 104's and liberty origin 106's. I have the Enforcer 94's that I love but want a wider free ski for powder and east coast conditions. Peace
@@johnboiano6960 from my limited time on that liberty ski I would say it definitely feels lighter but the Enforcer 104 will be a bit more versatile and more composed at speed.
I usually have one pair of Enforcer 104 frees that I ski nearly everyday. They start out sharp but eventually fade into “rock skis” by the end of the season 😂. A quick tune from a shop with proper machines usually brings them right back to life for the start the next season!
Agreed. We're from waaaaay down south (NYC) but are up in Vermont ALOT in the winter. So often we hit bluebird pow days, and if not, much better conditions than this.
@@Satyr14 you must have missed the part at 3:42 skiing literally record breaking deep snow! A true bluebird pow day in Vermont happens maybe a few times a season if we’re lucky, and the reality is that these days you’re much more likely to encounter the conditions depicted in the majority of the video than sun and pow together.
I ski Killington almost every weekend and the month of March was incredible. I have skied deep snow in the trees often over the years. I think if you only go once in a while no snow may be true but for those of us who ski a lot it’s not. You ski what is there and enjoy it.
Skiing is just so dang fun 🥰
This was awesome Brooks! Great job to you and the crew.
T-shirt should be "Blower's on the bottom" Nice work
I just love Vermont! So glad I live here!
I love Vermont too! Left in 1981 when I graduated from St. Mike's. It's long past time to go back!
Keeping it real Brooks!
Potato Boy goes East! Thanks for getting him on Jerry of the day Brooks!
@joe ‘blowers on the bottom’ might be the quote of the year for me
"East coast Dream, POWs on the bottom" HAHAHAHAHA
Great video and you have a great attitude. Ski the East
Super rad edit! Keep rippin boys!!!
Very Plakesque - all about having fun. My ex-wife's aunt had a ski in/out cabin at MRG back in the nineties. Skied there a couple times.
Love these kids!

Hey Tom! Im actually Dennis’ youngest son - he inspired just about everything I do. Heard many fond memories of his time on patrol!

Double crust!
With 3 feet of blower underneath!
Hell yea! It’s blower! 💀💀💀
Looks great boyZ!! Those the 104's or 110's you're rocking? Peace

l grew up on ''outer limits'''....but now lm an old man ....with just my memories
So are all of his skis "rock skis" then?

@@brookscurran I hear they're great, they must be robust too. I grew up visiting the Mad River Valley all the time, and it's the best place on earth.
AYo lets rip it up duder
That weather was a terrible representation of VT winter conditions, from someone who lives in the NEK 😂. Sick video though, Brooks is the man.

Underneath is just blower....
