Steeze
(
noun) stee-z
A combination of “style” and “ease”,
and used to describe a trick performed
effortlessly with flair. As in, “That dude
had some serious steeze on that double
laid-out backflip”.
Pull off a kangaroo flip, bloody
Dracula or double grab without ending
in a face plant and chances are you’ll
be complimented as having steeze. But
why let the moment pass when you can
capture every ‘tweak’ (when you push
the trick beyond the means) and ‘nollie’
(
to jump from the nose of the board) on
camera to post on social-media sites and
relive forever more? The snowpark in
Val Thorens has a video zone (
videopark.
fr
)
that tracks you via your ski pass and
automatically films your tricks, then lets
you download them to your smartphone
on the mountain at one of the 18 free wi-fi
ski-lift hotspots. Steezy as pie.
