For me GLEN PLAKE is legend in mogul and freeride, and it is nice to look at his good memory about ballet, but video is not good for him, element is a simple for one year start. Not for video of legend. Just take BIG FOOT and make it perfect, ;-)
Ha ha too funny! Yeah too bad they didn't have some vid of him coming through the bumps but I doubt bumps of Plake's calibre exist at Bretton Woods. Just goes to show he can and will do it all and have fun doing it. THAT is what skiing is all about. THAT is what Glen Plake is all about.
It"s funny look at that, everybody ski ballet do it better even use 170's and longer :-))), I am 50 years old. In freeride he is legend, but don't touch ballet element. Don't mees a face.

pathetic, Glen Plake the guy who used to ski big bump runs on 225 downhill skis, now doing ski ballet on 160's. I want to remember him in Warren Miller films not like this
Beauty of Plake is that he's a skier first. He loves ALL of it. the big drops, telemark skiing, pow, bumps, ALL OF IT. Dude is passionate about everything he does when it comes to skiing, you gotta respect that. He just loves sliding down the hill on sticks, in all aspects ... Dude rules.
@BostonBruinz Glen was great in all of his films that is for sure but what he is doing here is very very difficult. He makes it look easy but I can tell you that it is very hard.
@BostonBruinz glen is still one of the most amazing skiers in the world and if you think the stuff he is doing in this video is easy, i suggest you try it. try looking at some other recent videos of him skiing. he is still the man and still skis like he is in his 20s.
this guy today showed up un announced at the local skipark and its already small and knowone new hoo he was so we got signhed beanies hats posters everything and only 10 peeple there so we could all chat with him
Glen Plake is awesome..Only thing to do at Bretton Woods is ballet.. You been there?? It's flatter then my girlfriends chest!

Freestyle, 60's & 70's style. PRICELESS! Wayne Wong would be proud of the "Outrigger" and Stein Ericksen proud of the "Royal Christie"...

Very nice camera handling. It's hard to find film or video of ballet tricks that lets you see the ski positions and edge work
