Stone Creek Chutes, run 1

Exploring the lower Stone Creek Chutes in Beaver Creek, CO. A little poke through the woods, and I fall on my head (little pothole)- at least I'm laughing at myself...Woops. A little cautious on the first few runs (had to check the snow out)- and it was my fist time back there this year (trying to avoid those hidden sharks).

how do you fall??

[plasticmanandy]

Not sure- I fall a lot- sometimes when I'm going for it, sometimes when I'm not paying attention. The snow is wild- not always a 100% consistent texture every aspect and elevation on the mountain. My legs are tired and that's when I tend to blow out my landings- I do a lot of hiking and exercise BEFORE I get to record my shot, so the energy levels aren't always maximum. Some of my other clips I recorded while I had the flu...just gotta give `er.

I find it hard to jump cliffs that are followed by steep slopes considering you generate so much speed but the landing doesn't hurt that badly.

[plasticmanandy]

The energy has to go somewhere- it's all physics. The steeper the landing the better- you can carry your speed down the hill, rather than trying to dump the energy into your skis or muscles. The landing doesn't hurt badly- provided you don't land on rocks, trees, or crappy snow (I've unfortunately landed on all of those- it does hurt).

[SnailGunji]

[56alejandro]

oh so it hard to ski when your tried

[iJakeTV]

yeah, I am heading out to Beaver Cree kin a few days but, I don't think the stone creek chutes are going to be very good. Have you been to bc lately?

[iJakeTV]

Dude give him a break these are the stone creek chutes they are steep and powdery so just because one is going slow does't mean there bad at skiing!
