Yep, a testament to Harvey, Doug and the current crew for carrying the torch for so long. Very impressive that NS has held such an influential place both on the web and on the actual on hill. Few sports have (if any?) have a place like it and skiing is blessed to have it.
Its awesome to see what skiing has become. From sessioning the hand built table in the Snowboard Park with the one other guy that had 1080's (if they let you in the park with skis) at your hill to squads of 7 yr old groms pretzeling everything in sight, its awesome to see the sport grow.
My days of hiking the park have left as my head, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes) have gone, but still love some afternoon laps. The biggest thing I've found as I've aged is the consequence of being hurt has grown. Not because I heal slower or it hurts more, but you have more people counting on you when you grow up and being in a cast or leg brace for a couple months is brutal on not just you.

Too long. Member #43
Been skiing 27 years.
Got into park back in '99 (as soon as the hills in Ontario let skiers in the parks)
Been straight up ski bumming for 13 years, but I start work earlier and finish later every year... the days of working in the winter are fast approaching.
So yes, I am way too jaded for my own good.

haha I should. Also for those stating "you must be good by now" I am fairly good at skiing haven't filmed much lately but my greatest accomplishment was getting an honorable mention for the level 1 superunknown contest. As of late I still remain super unknown.
