seriously...."Freeskier.com Although we're tempted to pat ourselves on the back for this category, instead we're passing the award to our friends over at Freeskier Magazine, who do a mighty fine job covering all the latest in the world of freeskiing: contests, athlete and resort news, new gear, and more."
Youve got to be kidding me.

from Feb 10 2012 12:23:56:I've always come to NS for the latest news on contests, skiers, etc. But in my opinion, you guys have stepped it up tenfold when it comes to the articles/blogs/movies, etc.

from Feb 10 2012 12:27:51:There is a sizeable, somewhat jaded contingent in the industry who see this website as a sort of necessary but embarassing evil, who will dismiss it and disavow ever spending any time on here. The knee-jerk reference to 12 year olds criticizing a trick as a characterization of the site is basically dead-on-point in summing up the attitude of that contingent of the industry. That a lot of people don't like NS and take this perspective is neither surprising nor is it somehow a revelation. It's equally unsurprising that some of these people work for ESPN, because they work for ski companies, resorts, media concerns, etc etc etc. Everywhere. So when I read something like this, or hear a comment along these lines at some freeskiing-related-event (comp, premiere, whatever) it's not the first time I've read or heard it over the past 10 or so years. It won't be the last.
Realistically, the news coverage on NS is as good or better than anywhere else online. No one else has a dedicated video section - which granted is still developing, but still, no one else is developing one so far as I'm aware. There is no larger or more active or more diverse forum in terms of participant background and what they get out of skiing. In other words, this website can't be categorized for the purpose of a specific award. NS does everything - whether it does everything well is a point of contention, I'm sure, but it does everything. So it really doesn't matter if it's "best humour site" or "best news site" or "best ____", it's still going to be inaccurate.
