Many have been talking about how competition skiing for freestyle is better or worse then a freeski film skier. i think that a freeskiing film skier is more likely to make the sport grow. The slopestyle olimypic coaches have taken the fun out of skiing. theres a lot of drama involed. I think that the coaches have to be hard but go just a little to far. Its like a kid spends 4 years training and becomes last in the finals. its great for the other guy that wins but is just a waste of time for the last place. In film skiing you can make the sport grow travel skiing in different areas learning new wacky tricks and skiing urban. I think comp skiing will soon be completely out.

Which one will grow the sport?
Definitely comp skiing- Comps like the x-games reach a huge amount of people who have never skied that may now want to try. How many non skiers are going to watch a ski film?
These past 2 seasons our pass sales have increased significantly. Our learn to ski packages have been selling like crazy too. Maybe its just a "coincidence" that this happened after the olympics, so I won't credit that for the recent increase. But I can almost guarantee the average person learning to ski hasn't seen a ski specific film...

A sport can grow in other ways than increasing the number of participants.
