What makes you want to #stopskiing?

What part of the sport/industry is so backwards that you just want to sell your skis and curl up into a fetal position?


I think the elitist attitude that runs rampant amoung many 12-18 year olds, 40+ year old racer dads , and employees at several resorts can be a huge buzzkill. Extreme sports can create extreme egos.

I Love everything skiing!

The one thing which really concerns me are the parents who bring their kids who are learning to ski through the terrain park. This might just be a Western New York thing, but having kids on leashes in the park is not just a safety concern for them, but for the park skiers as well.

Hitting a jump and not knowing whats on the other side of that roller makes me want to #stopskiing sometimes.
