The most common comparison I see being used is the “skier as painter.”
What skier would you describe as a painter with a roller though?
Someone who charges really hard leaving a swath of tracks behind them?
And I think it is, just in a different way than they meant.
Both urban skiing and graffiti reinterpret cityscapes and allow the skier or artist to add their own artistic flair.
Is there a Banksy of urban skiing?
Or big mountain skiers can scalpel their way through tight lines.
I love the idea of someone scientifically dissecting a park, laying out optimal tricks for each feature.
Finally, there’s the skier as musician.
So what metaphors did I miss?
And which skiers fit best into each of these categories?
