So I hear stuff about how people think someone isn't young in skiing because they're like 16 or 17... you know along those lines. Well I've always figured that people in skiing are still young until like 19 or 20. This is in part due to comparing to other sports such as NASCAR, soccer, basketball, etc. If you think about it, with all the young kids comming up and killing it, the barrier of what is considered a "young gun" is now decreasing to smaller ages. So what's your opinion? What do you think is the age limit before you are no longer considered a young gun?

I think around 14 is young gun age. around 18 average. around early to mid 20s is usually pro by then.

You can enter at any age. It really doesn't matter because the kids that win really do deserve to. The talent is mind blowing.

yeah, i think i depends on how long you have been riding. Like i have only been riding park for 4 years, but i have been skiing for 12. Hahaha, i suck though, i only learned how to do a 360, and rails last year. I rule the BC though, love that shit.

yeah i dont know, i think it all depends on the person and how long they have been skiing, i could consider a 30 year old a young gun if i wanted. but to be a true YOUNG gun id say you need to be below 10 or 11, cause older than that is like teenage years and your not really a KID then.
