in response to trevorwoulddit's comment of what have I contributed to the freesking industry: MY FUCKING MONEY! skis, bindings, jackets, pants, boots, socks, poles (cheap ones), clothing, hats, lift tickets season passes! subscribe to ski magazines. if you don't call this support I don't know what is. so it'd be nice to see a company say hey we know people are gonna break poles a lot and scrap the crap outta them so you know what lets make the affordable so they will replace them when they break instead of picking them outta dumpsters
