720°s, cripplers, Huckleberrials and
Jeff Davis's frontside tail-grab (above)
put stale pseudo-suave schussters and
other swivelneck ski-heads to shame.
From the perfect powder and cornices
at Snowbird to the sickly steep chutes
of Kirkwood to the infamous Wind Lip
(a North Shore-sized Canadian snow
wave that can put five separate
maneuvers, twenty-five vertical feet
and almost one hundred horizontal
feet of air under a jumper's belt in one
shot), snowboarders have injected the
creative aggression of skating into the
36
soft white of winter, and the result
will make you sweat every time you
defrost your refrigerator. With more
and more resorts opening all of their
acreage to boardsmen, today's sled-
heads are taking full advantage of all
the freedom of frozen water vapor-
freedom from gravity, steel, scabs and
splinters. All this freedom gives folks
like Lori Gibbs (right) a chance for
some fast, fluid excitement. But
remember-you still have to pay
through the nose for equipment, lift
tickets and transportation.
Serious Fun. BROOKS
