Skinning vs. Sledding: Two Canadians, two modes of transportation in the mountains | Freeskier Magazine

I love when Dan gets going on this stuff it makes me laugh he did it in that new ski video and caused a little ruckus with the ski community

What was the ski video?

 

[jaredszakacs]

i'll have to go look it up but it was a brand new video that they premiered in whistler in november I do beleieve that had treadway backing up sledding and calling out the "hypocrits" of the sport it was actually really good to see! I snowboard as well as snowmobile and I love both sports so for me it doesnt make sense for someone to hate on sledding or hate on boarding cause hey were both out to do the same thing and that is have fun and find some cool fresh lines! it just seems like there is more and more tension between sledders and skiiers and it really has to end

Way to go Dan. Tell it like it is.

I love that first post by the skiier about the oil and fuel dripping out all over bahahahaha his 89 corrolla probably leaks more oil and fuel going from his house to the mountains than any sled out there. It takes hours to get your skii's out after you crash! ya ok buddy lol. you rarely hear of somebody hurting themselves taking there skis out of the back of there truck! How stupid is that!. When us skiiers go into the backcountry we wipe our azz with berries and pine needles cause toilet paper comes from logging lol

What's this guy talking about (dripping oil all over) doesn't he know we aren't riding Harleys. lol
Two very good points of view supporting their respective sports.

One sounded like it was scripted and the other like it was from the heart. Lol.

hey come on now my night train doesnt drip oil at all! I love how it is always an enviromental or cost issue for the skiiers yet they wreck the envitoment just as much and there sport sure isnt cheap either!

I calculated what it costs me a day to run my sled and this is my break down: $136 bi weekly for sled payment i ride every saturday and sunday so $34 a day for just my sled then I burn roughly $25 in gas on my sled, my food I got my muff pot so usually smokies or wings from the night before $10 my gatorades for the day $5 I gothrough a tank of oil every 4 rides so lets say $20 in oil and thats being expensive! if i ride an area with trail fees $10-$20 total price for the day between $95-$114. take out the price of my sled $80 or less the price of a single lift ticket!!!!!! take out the price of trail fee were i ride behind castle ski hill and you are under $60 for the day


now for the skiing! my board boots and bindings 3 years ago cost me $1100, my lift pass at castle ski hill is $68, my 4 strips of bacon 2 eggs,2 pieces of toast,and hashbrowns with an orange juice $15, burger fries and a pop at lunch $15. $98 without adding price of your equipment and that is only if you are by yourself no others or family riding with you and if you dont have any beverages at the hill. you also gotta stand in line and wait your turn! This is the cheap part the "resort" skiing add up the prices for heli or cat ski and you can easily spend more than a new sled in 3 or more of those trips!

Great post. Treadway #3 classic! hahah

Also i like Treadway's pic it has at least 9 gas cans and an oil jug and4 sleds. Too funny.

 

[jaredszakacs]

treadway is a beauty for that kind of stuff! in the ski vid he is fueling up his jacked up diesel then filling sleds and gerry cans smiling away it makes me laugh

 

[takethebounce]

I guess Poo Vs Doo threads aren't meaningful conversations? geash...now what are we going to talk about? Superstore's granola is better that costco's?



I am purposely going to drip a single drop of BRP's full syn on the ground everytime I fuel up now so I can hear a skier's tear fall to the ground from heaven...

What was the ski video?

I believe he's talking about "All I Can". I heard of the movie and the stance that Treadway took in it so I rented it on iTunes. Either I missed it or Treadway was edited out of the version I saw, and I watched it twice. He was named in the credits but I never seen him in movie. Maybe to many skiers complained and they took him out after the premier.

 

[jaredszakacs]

thats the one jed they must have done something cause in all the premiers he was in it and going off on the hypocrits so i wonder if they did take it out after the premier I could imagine it raised quite a stir! I'm going for co-op brand granola I like the cheap presidents choice stuff.

I did the same, bought it off of itunes and thought I bought the wrong vid!

I take my kids out sled skiing a bit just to get away from the crowds on resort hills. I like Treadways support and attitude! Maybe they will release a "Directors Cut" and put it back in?

We also xcountry ski; you should see the looks I get when I pull into a xcountry ski trail parking lot with 3/4 diesel with two sleds on the deck! Priceless!

 

[SidewaysInto3rd]

I'm naming my first born DanTreadway . yup, that'll be his first name. Hope it's a boy otherwise she'll have an awkward childhood !!

 

[jaredszakacs]

weird that trwadway's part is not in there anymore thats to bad! from what i heard from a buddy at the whistler premier was it was really funny hearing the 6 sledders in the room cheer in an awkward silence from the ski community lol. yeah i could imagine you get quite the look pulling into a X country area with your diesel and sleds on back you should jump out and ask if this is the sled staging area! I've done it once out by castle ski hill and you sure get some interesting looks lol

I watched all I can in Vancouver .. there were 2 people howling at treadway's segment and it was me and my buddy. The rest of the theatre had their heads turned our way with a stink eye from hippy tight pants plaid shirt hell

ps. I found this old gem on youtube

 

[jaredszakacs]

I knew there was some one on here that went to that premier! Thanks for cheering lol
