This. Kind of curious why all the hate on Ski Club. I coach for Vail Devo, so I'm like a second class citizen, but I still respect these guys for how good they are. We were back in Outer Mongolia building a booter on the day of the comp but did see the warm ups and the stuff that was being thrown was ill. Stoked it got some coverage and like Patty said; stoked that Vail is finally putting some decent comps on again. Ski Club has a landing pad now which is really stepping up the progression for their kids.
Problem for my program is that Vail Resorts is going uber conservative. Helmets are now mandatory for anyone skiing in any VR program; any kid in a VR program under the age of 13 has to ride the lift with an adult; if someone bumps into you in the lift line, you pretty much have to fill out an incident report. Sorry for the rant. Props to Tanner and Patty.
