PHIL DAMAINAKES sending it at the resort that is the epitome of modern day segregation=ALTA

  Alta is by far one of the most fucked resorts in the U.S. due to fact that it is one of the best mountains around but they have a NO SNOWBOARD policy which is TOTALLY FUCKED!!!!! During the winter if you ride a snowboard you are not allowed at ALTA because they DISCRIMINATE  but once the spring hits and ALTA is closed  for the season you are free to go live life like everyone else. So if you want to go build a huge late season booter with your homies now is the time to go and piss all over Alta. 

BODE and PHIL admiring their handy work.

BODE putting the final touches on the days work.

PHIL DAMIANAKES was worried that  there wasn’t going to be much pop on this one….didn’t take long for that worry to go away.

It’s funny that people always say that snowboarders would HATE ALTA(we do hate ALTA because they discriminate) because of all the flats and that you would have to traverse too much. Seems like BODE MERRILL didn’t have to worry about flats and got enough speed for this hit.

PHIL what do you think about Alta’s no snowboard policy? 

” They say snowboarders wouldn’t like it because there is too much traversing but all we do is shred everything that we can see and everything that is in front of us, Land and traverse to HIGH FIVES….so fuck that non shred resort!!!!!!

BODE is A….a super hero flying to save a family from a burning building

                 B….flying with a squirrel suit but forgot the suit

                 C…..about to get wrecked

BODE what do you think about ALTA’S no snowboard policy? 

” The one good thing…It keeps the super agro shit talking shit don’t stink type of skier away from us!”

BODE doing nothing even close to a spread eagle at ALTA

 With out skiing there would of never been the invention of the snowboard but Snowboarding has helped skiing quite a bit over the years….now days skis are almost as wide as snowboards and skiers have one on each foot. Alta allows mono boards on their mountain and that is a snowboard mounted the wrong way with ski boots. That is just funny that snowboards are so hated…seems like skiing keeps biting on snowboarding’s steeze but not giving credit where it’s due. Clothing style went from stretch pants and visors to sweet gear that actually looks cool. Half pipes and parks are all from snowboarding and play a huge role in the ski world now. Oh yeah what about the tricks?….It used to be daffys and spread eagles but thanks to snowboarding skiers learned about tranny and re entering and they even call there grabs Mutes and Japans. That’s funny that skies have such a solid art approach to their top sheets and base graphics…wonder where they got that from ?  Remember the 2002 olympics when Ross Powers, Danny Kass and JJ Thomas did the full medal sweep for the US……yeah those olympic medalist are not allowed at ALTA. ALTA is a part of the WASATCH NATIONAL FOREST and we as snowboarders pay taxes that help preserve the range but we are not allowed on a mountain that we contribute funding for? THE LEVITATION PROJECT is down for skiers but not down for people that support  ALTA’s NO SNOWBOARD  policy….IT IS WRONG….So next time you take one of those little blue snowflakes and place it somewhere for everyone to see… just know that you are being a complete asshole.
