God I love skiers. Most of ’em just don’t give a f****. Which is beautiful. Take guys like Hank Bilous as an example. He threw that gigantic spread eagle into Corbet’s Couloir a couple of weeks ago. We were all lucky enough to witness it on social media. Well, old “Uncle Hank” struck again after missing the finals of a four-star Freeride World Tour qualifier in Crested Butte, Colo.
Instead of hanging on the sidelines with his mates to enjoy a libation or three (perhaps he did that, too), he decided to crash the course and the final heat, throwing another huge spread eagle. This time without a strip of clothing. Which must have been somewhat painful when he barrel rolled after. But the dude skis out of it.
The best part is the crowd: it collectively eggs him on–as if he needs it–while George Michael’s Freedom blares in the background. Hell yeah. Because this is the type of s#%$ skiers do.
