Mr. Bishop Appreciation Thread

Mr. Bishop is the fucking man. This website wouldn't be anything without this fully devoted monster of a man. He keeps us updated on competitions, what's going on in the ski industry world, everything we look and search for ski related he provides. He reeks of positivity and in his own way has progressed this amazing sport we love so much.



He is the ultimate neutralizer in any discussion he cares to voice his opinion on. He never under-minds, speaks negatively, or talks down to anyone. The voice of reason is what he's known for (to me anyway). I have messaged him countless times asking for advise and his thoughts on skis, gear, and many more ski related subjects. He ALWAYS answers quickly and kindly. He is one of the most modest and knowledgeable people I have spoken with on any subject on this sport we love so much.

So here's to you Mr. Bishop for always being the voice of reason, for being the truly genuine person you are, a bonafide badass, and for keeping all of us ski bums in the loop of every aspect of skiing we desire to learn and know about! If you have a personal experience or story with this titan ski bum share it.

CHEERS MR. BISHOP!

We had some pretty awesome times back in the early -00. Doug let me use his ID to get into the bars even though I was way younger than him and he had blue hair and spikes on his ID photo.
Another good memory of Doug is when he used to drive up and camp out in his van in the Tremblant area even though it was well below -20C. Always stoked to go skiing!

I remember when Doug gave me his ID to try and get into a bar in Vail when I was 16 (maybe 17?) It obviously didn't work, but hey - we tried.

It's been close to a decade now since I've seen Doug. le sigh.

You guys.... you're making me tear up here.

Thanks to all of you out there for making this sport what it is. I couldn't ask for a better life and a better group of people to surround myself with!
