The Soccer Mom Mentality in the midwest ski world is ruining the scene. Skiing used to be about fun, now for a lot of people (not all) its about competing in ussa comps.

What I miss is the old days. Two Day Spring Jams at Tyrol, Camping at Nordic Jam. Midwest Massacre, OG MW Superpark Days.

miss how the lack of vert and shitty conditions never seemed to affect peoples enthusiasm to ski. Always will love the places with personality, no mega hotels and lack of tourists like bohemia, tyro, buffalo, sunburst... and Chicago style hot dogs
