Does anyone else notice the elitest view of people who work in ski shops on here? They think they fucking know it all. Guess what? You work part time at some shop in bum fuck Michigan, you don't know shit. Don't respond to people about your omnipotent reviews after you flexed skis and fit a couple boots.

I worked in a shop this season and still got around 100 days in (whistler, long ass season). It helped alot with my ski knowledge, but more towards the average consumer market, not as much in the newschool/twin tip/freestyle sector.
The majority of customers wanted an all-mountain ski (k2 apache reco, rossi zenith, rossi b2, salomon x-wing etc. ) Not a bc jump ski.
I did learn alot about boots though. Which I really think can't be conveyed in text, unless I spend like 3 hours typing it. Fuck that.
But I am amazed at the knowledge of the younger park kids. They know who every pro rides for, every ski and binding. I get totally owned when it comes to knowledge about indie company team skiers.
But I think everyones' knowledge should be valued, as we are all skiers.

Does it really count if it's in Indiana? Also when skis are tried out with demo bindings it makes them ski completely differently and you can't get a complete judgment of how the ski is, especially if they are park skis and Marker bindings.

maybe you should shut the fuck up...
the midwest will never be like it is out west, but we live here, just like you live where you do. for most of us, its not our decisions either.
we have a park, with features, just like you do. and yes, he can probablly out-ski you.

I think it can count if you get 110 days on snow. Regardless of where you live, that's still a lot of time to be trying all different products.

Yeah, the MW and EC may not have the snow/terrain that we have out West, but they produce some mad-legit skiers both in the Freeskiing and racing world.

Then move out West, don't complain about your current situation if you can do something about it.
