You Can’t Ski – Bumps Prove It

Product Description

The age-old adage goes, “It’s not that you can’t ski bumps. You can’t ski. Bumps prove it.” This is a classic one that snow pros joke around with each other. But in all seriousness, it’s true. Just ask Glen Plake …

“You know a lot of people are having a hard time skiing powder. It’s, just you know, it’s so difficult. But, hell, there’s an answer for that … just go get yourself some … some fat skis!  ya’know I’m having a hard time skiing powder and uh, I just uh, I don’t know uh… ya’know it’s really difficult.

No kidding it’s difficult. It’s skiing – it’s a difficult sport. But for 650 bucks go get yourself some tongue depressors to slide around on and guess what man? You’re skiing powder. In fact you’re chasing me around for powder!

The old carved turn. Nobody can carve a turn. You’re not supposed to be able to carve a turn. That’s like the sacred cow, man. But for 650 bucks go get yourself some hourglass skis and you’ll out carve half the guys teaching skiing at Vail!

Everybody who’s ever been to Squaw Valley has counted to three and hurled their bodies off the Palisades. Big deal!

What is a big deal is mogul skiing. You don’t buy it. You don’t fake it. It’s real. It’s alive, and if you wanna find the best skiers on the mountain, you might want to take a good hard look at who’s skiing the bumps.

But moguls now there’s something you do not buy. You earn. There’s something you do not talk about in the bar about how bad ass your mogul run was, because everybody was there. Everybody saw it. It was right there under the chair. There’s nothing to hide. There’s nothing to buy that can help you.”
