Tanner is the man! He speaks his mind! So does TYW. I dont know why anyone is surprised by Tanners antics. It is who he is. Would he be better received if he didnt speak from the heart? Probably. I know many people who are this way. (speak their mind regardless if it brings hate/negativity) The bottom line is that if this rustles ur jimmies then you have the problem not them. The more fuel we add to the fire the more negativity it spreads and the more it degrades our community. I think that being an ambassador to skiing is a privilege. Just because you are given the privilege does not require you to honor it. Just because Tanner doesnt always take advantage of it doesnt make him a bad guy or a good guy, it just makes him Tanner. He is a legend, he is still innovating, proving people wrong, doing Tanner. He stays true to him always. If you dont like it you dont have to. Its not a debate.
