GNAR

As an introduction to ski culture, I felt that it was necessary for me and my friends to watch Unofficial Production's Game of Gnar. If you haven't watched it already, as I'm sure is untrue for most, gnar stands for geoffrey's numerical assessment of raddness. In other words, on the ski hill there is a rulebook that give you a score for doing certain activities. Backslapping after hitting a jump detracts for example, and 'calling out pros', skiing naked, talking to your mom on the phone while shedding a tight line, all boost your score. After finishing the film, Alex felt so inspired that he brought his board to the green and skied down the snow sculpture, after doing a pro call. Fortunately, this midnight outing escaped the attention of Safety and Security.
