PringleI wish more people understood this. A 3 off a cliff or cat-track is 10x more impressive than a 3 in the park in my opinion.
Skiers who can tear around in the trees, ski moguls with form, carve, and drop cliffs just kick ass compared to park skiers.
see. thats all an opinion though. this is where we get into trouble on what makes a good skier. i think there are too many different styles of skiing now to say that someone has to be an all around skier to be good. it all comes down to opinion. as skiers age, we find that what you describe is not only making us a better skier but more fun. i use to be a huge park rat in the 90's and 2000's but now its all about woods and finding creative hits all over the mountain. The park just happens to be a trail on the way to the lift to hit once in a while. lets not be snobby and just be stoked everyone is out having fun in their own way.
