I remember a time where noone had a clue what freestyle skiing was, to say you were a skiier was pretty much admitting you were a loser. However, last weekend when I was out skiing, pretty much every single kid in the park was a skiier. There were a couple kids snowboarding but the skiier kids were far and away outdoing them. Im not sure if this is just a regional thing (Wentworth, Nova Scotia) or if its a larger trend we are seeing, where kids who are started on skiing are choosing to stay within the sport rather than switch to snowboarding like they used to (everyone of my snowboarder friends started off skiing) I think this is due in large part to kids seeing older guys on the hill throwing down.
Obviously it is a little bold to ask if we have "passed them" persay but if you get my jist then it would be interesting to hear some opinions. I know this is a pretty well talked about topic but its normally a skiing vs. snowboarding debate. I was just blown away that every single kid in the park was a skiier and how tight they all were, are other people noticing this too? If not yet, when will this happen? will people ever stop snowboarding, maybe its the fad?
