Okay, there are probably some things better than watching skiers and snowboarders rip big freestyle lines in the Palmer Snowfield, but I’d argue that living vicariously through these lucky athletes is quite nice while I burn in the August heat.
Red Bull Snow put together a tasty edit of a group of their athletes tearing up the features at Timberline at various points throughout the summer, and it’s another reminder how the Palmer Snowfield is one of North American ski culture’s greatest traditions.
Do you think I have enough time to start training at 25 years old to make it pro and get a sponsorship from Red Bull by 30? I might be persuaded to get my ass in gear if I’m promised free lift-serviced laps on Palmer in June, July, and August…
