Im going to be the only one on here to defend chris in this forum and that is fine. I haven't posted on here in years but this topic needed to be posted on.
Chris and I ride at the same mountains - bear mountain and snow valley on occasion. He snowboards (obviously) and I ski. Chris has been nothing but cool to me in the past and continues to be cool to me every time I see him. We didn't really grow up together since he is more than 4 years older than me (weren't in high school at the same time) but like i said he is always cool to me whenever I see him, on and off the snow. He has never once made fun of my for skiing and i have never seen or heard him make fun of anyone for skiing.
To add validity to my statement. Chris was commentating a halfpipe event at bear mountain a few years ago. It was some jeep qualifier or some crap. Anyways, long story short. I blew my knee during the contest, tearing my acl and my meniscus at the same time. Chris was THE first person to come up and help me. He pretty much ran up there to help me out. If someone actually hated skiing as much as all you guys think, that would not have happened.
Take what I am saying however you want. You just shouldn't take people so serious sometimes
