South Dakota Has an Insane Ski/Snowboard community

Welcome to South Dakota. Let's go. All right guys, the VanCraft vans got us to our last destination, Great Bear in South Dakota. I didn't even know South Dakota had ski resorts until I started this mission of riding every resort in the United States. Place is sick. The sun kind of peaked out a little bit. We're gonna go pick up our tickets in this nice, fancy lodge, and then we're gonna get it. It's a bear made out of sporks. Thing is sick. Scary forking bear. Grizzly Park. All right, we got our tickets. Once again, thank you, Great Bear, for having us. It's always nice when these ski resorts, and literally every single ski resort on this tour, had us come out, gave us tickets, stoked to have us, took care of us, and now we're gonna take care of them by making the sickest, dopest video of all time, Nate. The best part too, as I said, they just rebuilt their park last night, so. Fresh park, here we go. You ready to ride the best skiing and snowboarding in Sioux Falls? Yeah. They're the same state, I'm sorry, but South Dakota and North Dakota are the same state. Come at me with that. All right, we gotta see what this park's about. Hey, there's a tow rope, it's not running. They figured they'd get that thing going. Those were sticky. Oh yeah. We might need to put some snow on those rails. Dammit. Dude, I couldn't see it. We're gonna hit it, I just was questioning it. I ran to the car and got some clear lenses so I can see a little bit better, and then we ran into Drew. What up? He's repping this sticker and everything. What up, this is so awesome. I love meeting you guys all across the United States. South Dakota. That's fun to jump, it was terrific. I just did a... This is you guys' local spot, huh? I wanted three off, but I'm just not getting it. Cooper, nice to meet you. Carissa, nice to meet you guys. Oh, you got the sticker too, let's go, dude. Wrong camera. Sorry. All right, Nate was just saying he scoped out some runs, he knows the good ones, we're gonna go do that. And I do wanna mention, you guys are probably wondering, why did we come to Great Bear in South Dakota? It's because we have this crazy goal to ride every ski resort in the United States, and you guys can track our progress by going to resortskimaps.com. This is a resort map of every resort in the United States. All the green snowboarders are the ones that we've been to. You can click on them and watch the videos there. If you click on a red snowboarder, nothing's gonna pop up because we haven't been there yet. So click the top right-hand corner, you're gonna see our schedule for the upcoming season. See if you are gonna be coming to your ski resort. If we are, take time off for work, skip school, do whatever. If you come rip with us like all these guys did, it's so sick to rip with all the locals. But if you don't see your ski resort, just know it's gonna take years to ride every resort in the United States. So it might be next year, two years, three years down the road. So subscribe to the channel and check out Resort Ski Maps so you know when we're coming to you. All right, Nate, show us these runs. He said we gotta hit them before the sun goes down. It's one of those things too, I'm not opposed to doing a run. Our energy, we had an incident last night. Lack of sleep, low energy, flat light. All I know is Cody's not a getaway driver. Okay, you got this, Damon? We're following Nate. The tow rope's about to turn on too, the kid said. So we'll go rip some turns, tow rope will turn on, we'll get some tow laps. Dude, this place is sick. That was the run, Nate? No, no, no, I missed my turn. Come on, Nate. He says it's a better one, we're gonna check it out. What's your name? I'm Ian. Ian, nice to meet you, man. Happy birthday, man. What's your name? All right, Nate, you got one chance to redeem yourself. All right, I got you. Kick this tree. That one was better. It was better, it was better. I wanna rip down the front face and just carve for a second. Let's do that. All right, we're just gonna do their main face since Nate's runs were questionable. So we're gonna rip the front face and then they open up their tow rope, so that's gonna be sick. Potty time. Yo, dude, what's up? What's your name? What's up, I'm Julian. I'm getting more amped up, the more kids I meet. All right, guys, we're about to head to tow rope. Tow ropes are sick because they're super quick. They're super awesome, almost as quick and awesome as today's sticker shout out. We got AJ with two Evolution stickers on two helmets. We got the red one and the blue one. Looking insane, guys. If you want an Evolution sticker, we have so many colors and styles and versions of any of the stickers for anybody's style. All these guys are repping stickers and they all have different styles. So if you're a skier, we do have a ski version of the Evolution sticker as well. But if you snag any of our merch, like the new t-shirts, the long sleeves, the face mask, any of that stuff, guys, it's all linked in the description. If you haven't, it's the easiest way for me to say what up to you guys on the mountain. Yo, little dude, that is a sick sticker. What's up? That's the sickest sticker. What's your name? As well, if you buy any of the merch, just tag me on my Instagram and I'll give you guys gear and sticker shout outs in the vlogs like I just did. But also make sure you're following the Instagram, the TikTok, and the YouTube shorts for that bonus vertical extra content that we've been posting. We've been posting so much short form and you got to see the adventure we had yesterday. She's following the Instagram. It was crazy. I only put it on Instagram. So you better follow the Instagram. But all right, enough of that. Let's go ride this park, get this tow rope. Man, I can't wait for us to have a tow rope. I don't know what to do with that yet. He wants to be in the video. Let's get a good high five for the video. Making the video. They waxed the sticky one, thanks to Damon. He's got a sticky rail problem. No, Cody! Oh, it's still sticky. Whoa! That would have been really cool if it wasn't, if you didn't do what you just did. Just do it again, but better. All right, we just had a pretty sick session in the park, but these kids are saying, one, there's a chicken nugget burrito that we got to try at a lodge. So that's happening. But two, there's this legendary tree jump here. So the local kids are going to take us to the tree jump. We're going to boost it, and then we're going to get a chicken nugget burrito, and then we got to hit the road, head back to Colorado. So let's get this. One kid was asking about the reverse euro carve. I have a whole tutorial on that. Did you watch the tutorial on how to do that trick? I dropped the whole video on it, man. All right, all you got to do is turn your hips like this. Dude, this sunset's insane. Welcome to South Dakota. Let's go. What up, dudes? What's your names? Are you wrapping a sticker? Yeah. Let's go. Look at that. Heck yeah. All right, guys, show me where this tree jump is. I don't have a filmer. That's okay. Look at this mob of kids. I'm just rolling with the kids. This is literally my favorite thing to do. We're going to run it back. You okay? Make sure you buckle that thing. There you go. Oh, no, it's gone. Have a good one. Thanks for coming and ripping with me, guys. So much shorter than I thought. Dude, everybody says that, man. Everyone's like, dude, everyone. It's okay, because you're boosting my confidence. Jonathan can have a wife and kids, and I can have a wife and kids. Short guys together. I'm filming you filming me. Are you filming me filming you? Yeah. Let's go get that chicken nugget taco. That sounds insane. A burrito. Dude, the mob of kids hanging out with us, like, it gets me so excited for snowboarding and the future of snowboarding. And there's so many kids that are so good at it. Like, I just get so hyped. Chicken nugget burritos! I'm so excited to try this thing. Chicken nugget burritos, like chicken nugget wrap. All right, the chicken nugget burrito, which is technically chicken wrap. It was fire. Those kids weren't lying. And what a time here, man. South Dakota goes hard. But on a serious note, Great Bear, thank you so much for having us and hooking us up with tickets. And we had a great time here. This resort's fun. You liked it, Damon? Oh yeah, dude, the park was rad. Dude, super rad place. We got a 10-hour drive now back home. So with that to Milkhouse, thank you so much for shredding with us. And as always, thanks for watching. Keep evolving. See you tomorrow on another video. It's daily on this channel. Woo!
