i'm not sure if you are serious or not, it seems to me like your just trying to get a rise out of people. if so it looks like you've suceeded. if not, i suggest you take a step back and look at what park skiing has done for skiing before you make another ignorant post. you see, not everybody has the luxury of living in a place where they can ski big lines and good snow. park skiing has given kids in the midwest and the east a reason to go skiing everyday. without parks or rails there would be nothing fun about skiing for these kids, there are no big lines or trees for these kids to ski. parks are giving thousands of kids across the country a reason to ski, and so our sport is growing. the more skiing grows the more you start to see rider owned companies, who, as skiing continues to grow, are able to put more and more money into making your equiptment better. so what are you whining about. you like skiing deep snow and big lines, and you are lucky to have it available, lots of kids would give there left nut to have the terrain that you have. but they don't. so why knock them for wanting to ski. it's not hurting you, and it's helping the sport. so just chill.
