It's so ridiculous how absolutely no one out there knows about park skiing. I wrote this paper for my college writing class about the tension between skiers and snowboarders and how its going away and shit and we did this peer review type thing where we read eachothers shit and tried to question it (in a constructive way of course) and this kid read mine and wrote "The presence of boarding is to be laid back and relaxed, even at a pro level. Skiing at a pro level is precise, rehearsed and cold." and in my paper I said that skiers and snowboarders are really similar people since they are both elitist sports, and he was like 'no, snowboarding came from skateboarding which is rebellious and counter-culture so snowboarding isn't elitist, you should fix that.' and to describe how precise skiing is he was like 'you know how skiers like go up a thing and go in the air and land, that shit is really precise if you make any mistakes at all you lost points and stuff.' I almost cried. Is it really that hard to describe a jump? I'm pretty sure he was talking about aerials, but it was pretty hard to tell.

it's so weird how people just know absolutely nothing about new school skiing. I guess the 90,000 people on here are the only ones...

just thought I'd share this experience with you cause I'm supposed to be editing the paper right now, but I cant possibly justify making any of the changes anyone suggested becuase they're all retarded.

yes and no. they're reliable, but we had to take at least one source from this database of academic journals and shit... and an article from freeze isn't exactly on the same level as an academic journal from a library database.

um i like that skiing isnt mainstream. its ur fault for writing a paper about something noone else cares about. skiing is fun, casual, and personal and i would never expect those who dont do it to give a shit about 'the tension between skiers and snowboarders'.

i was at killington today and i was rocking around switch and i went by an old guy who was rocking around the hill with his feet glued together down at the bottom i stopped to fix my coat and he came up to me and sai "So thats why those skis have tips on the back, i was just cruising along and you zipped by me backwards, thanks great"

it struck me as funny that someone at a mtn with a big park skiing scene like killy would have people that didnt know about even twin tips, but its also cool that people are excited when they see it because they are just into skiing of any sort, and as long as theres something keeping kids skiing instead of snowboarding they are happy.

LSS trailer woould be good because it shows that park skirs dont bum out in the park, that they go up into the mts and build jumps, not to mention powder. But at the same time, you get the mouth-dropping with the urban rails and crazy stuff like that, which shows the Newschool movement.The song also shows how epic skiing is and makes kids hyped up. Tom Wallisch's superunknown vid is pretty much all park, and its not as like epic and stuff idk id choose LSS trailer over it.

i try not to affiliate myself with the outside world. i reccomend living in caves during the summer, and not venturing far out of the valley your ski hill is located in (unless of course it is to go to another valley full of skiers... even then, don't make eye contact along the way.

I don't really care what non-skiers think about what skiing is or isn't. That doesn't affect how I ski, or how I see skiing.

I hate it so much. Everytime i tell someone i ski they're like eww, skiings so gay man i snowboard. And then if i ever see them snowboarding they can usually only barely 5050 a box. They've stereotyped skiers as people carving down a hill in jeans. And if you ever tell anyone like that about freeskiing, like rails and stuff they don't understand it and think you're crazy. And my dad flips whenever i detune my edges haha
