Ya that's ridiculous. Most smart skiers shouldn't hate on snowboarders. I mean snowboarders are probably around half of their ticket sales.

I don't really know what skier specific features are. Are they just going to make a shit ton of pole jams and log jibs in High Cascade. Cause those are the only features I really see as snowboarder specific I guess and even then skiers still hit them

Maybe if all the snowboard coaches weren't complete scumbag jackasses this wouldn't have happened. Personally I think this is an awesome move.

Haha, no, not equal by a long shot. Skiing is still on the rise and snowboarding... not so much. After Shaun White quit so did half the US population.

This decision will end up being detrimental to skiiers. Without snowboarders, who else is left to stab?

I mean its not that cool, but i guess it benefits both camps respectfully to an extent if you think about it. The park has always been more snowboard oriented and it will be nice to have a park that is more built for skiers in a sense. that being said there will be more jobs for skiers, and less jobs for snowboarders so there are pros and cons. Ive kind of actually put a lot of thought into it.

I agree. I quit snowboarding because nothing was really going on skiing was something thats only moving forward and people are starting to realize that.

After talking to higher ups at Windells/HCSC/We are Camp, I think its a good idea. It's not just features, but also the culture on campus.

I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like these camps breed originality anyway, you're getting coached. Windells will be fine and the other camp will be just as successful from a money standpoint, and all the campers will learn the same tricks. If you want to have some more freedom just ski the public park like everyone else.

What do you mean nothing is going on in snowboarding? You sound like a little bitch of a fanboy.

Yes finally Windless is all skiing. I hate it when their lips are so low because of the snowboarders. I wanted to do a 270 on last year but I couldn't because all the lips were so freakin low
