Sleeper pow day at Mammoth Mountain. Woke up to 1-3 inches but felt like 3-5 in some spots. Scored some laps down Climax, Hangman's Hollow, and Paranoid Flats.
Yep, that was a good one. Not as good as a few days before (4/4) when there were endless windbuff "refills" on the top all afternoon, but as you say a sleeper.
@@anthonyalpha4118 Definitely worth checking out. These ones are the Atris at 105mm and I also have the Camox at 97mm. Check out my other video to see those in deeper pow. Should give you an idea of how epic they are!
@@rostamzz Thanks for the review bro! I ski Head Kore 99's-180 (2019) in the pow & Salomon Stance 96-182 (2023) in the groomed w/my family & moguls/freeride, But I'm looking for something wider w/a better edge than my Kore 99's for the waist-deep pow. Plus I have a Kore 93-184 (2023) buried at Sugarbowl lol! Thanks for the tip much appreciated!
The shoulder movement is debatable. In Taos Ski Valley, which has one of the best ski schools in the country, the instructors teach for you to turn your shoulders into the turn, not keep your upper body always flush to the fall line.
What is your point? Most people don’t ski ski school perfect but somehow manage to have a great time. I only know I few people with super good form. Most of us can not afford endless training, which is how people generally get perfect form.
Sorry for late response, didn't have my GoPro with me. I run 4k|30, Superview, and Hypersmooth on for POV shots. Bit Rate: High, Shutter: Auto, EV Comp: 0, White Balance: Auto, ISO Min: 100, ISO Max: 1600, and Sharpness: High.
@@Kvalstermannen because the mountain received over 900 inches of snow this season at the peak, many of these runs are so filled in with snow that they are no longer that steep.
at mammoth these are 40+ degree slopes some 50 like hueves and out by the paranoids. The mountain was so filled in when the video was taken. @@Kvalstermannen
You are turning with your upper body, rolling your shoulders, WAY over rotating…definitely need to take lessons…you think you ski well, and you do…but you are an intermediate, with balls and no fear, but initiating turns with your upper body, especially rolling your shoulders is lame…and yes you turn far less than you could. Bringing up a total lack of up and down movements. An instructor is a talking video computer who is programmed in seconds, to pick apart your flaws to MAKE YOU BETTER, AND HAVE MORE FUN. Super simple exercises on the flats in a few hours will help immensely in the steeps, especially if a surfer decides to go skiing ⛷️ 🏄♀️…
You're trying to turn with your shoulders too much by the looks of it, poor technique. Shoulders need to be pointing down the mountain at the fall line, all turning done by legs/knees/hips. Try taking a straighter line down the hill, shallower turns and more of them, just push your heels out feel the edges bite and then flick back the other way. I'm no ski instructor, but you're on the verge of losing control on every turn because of those shoulders.

Look at this awesome snow 😢❤
Mammoth, where 10’ equals boot deep
This drop looks sick!
That opening shot with the drop in is just majestic

I won't be there till July, those skis hold a nice edge in the ice!
July is gonna be great and these skis rip. Highly recommend!
@@rostamzz Thanks those Black Crows have caught my eye!

Oh yeahhhhhhh
Great vid. Fell in love with skiing this year. what's your avg speed on these slopes?
Off piste I average 20-30mph. On groomers I get up to 60
Whole lot of cement!! Friends don't let friends ski in CA! I had to turn off sound, before I needed to get mouth
piece.
Cement? Lol what kind of tender footed weasel are you?
How do you like the BC Atris'? Nice clip.
Absolutely love them!
@@rostamzz good, torn between atris and qst 106
@@bigmack10 Definetely demo if you can. I didn't get a chance to try the QST 106 but it looks like a fun ski and I've heard great things.
GoPro settings?

helmet or chest mount? @@rostamzz
Try shortening your radius. Hit some of those covered rocks.
how steep is it?
For them being double black, not very steep given the amount of snow.
@@rostamzz A double black is 45 degrees in sweden. How steep are they in America?

@@Kvalstermannen About the same

You need to turn more often....a lot more often!!
Mind explaining a bit? I feel like I turn a lot more compared to other riders but appreciate any input. Always looking to improve.
Nah turn less go faster
@@bigmack10 That's what I'm thinking haha. Trying to work on longer controlled turns since my skis turn radius is 20.
@@rostamzz yeah i think rippin fast with control feels and looks heaps better than slow chop turns, not trying to wiggle my as$ down the mountain
