Your constant coverage and, dare, I say, obsession with park skiing needs to end. While I appreciate the enthusiasm for this particular style of skiing, I must respectfully disagree with the notion that park skiing has anything to do with actual skiing.

Skiing is about more than just performing tricks and stunts in a designated area or a U-shaped stunt ditch. It’s about navigating natural terrain, being one with nature, and the art of the turn. Park skiing, on the other hand, is a contrived and manufactured experience with man-made features and predetermined routes.

I’m a very good skier, but when I tell people this, they ask if I can do a backflip or a 360. The answer is no, but I’m not trying to be the best gymnast on the mountain, I’m trying to be the best skier.

Now, I’m not saying that park skiing doesn’t require skill or athleticism. It certainly does. But skiing is about exploring the mountain, adapting to changing conditions, and pushing oneself to endure the elements. Park skiing, by contrast, is a closed system, limited by the same features and obstacles every time.

So, park skiing may be a fun activity for some, but it is not a true representation of skiing as a whole. Let’s celebrate the diversity of skiing styles and recognize that each has its own merits, but let’s not forget what skiing is truly about.

Sincerely,

Ron from Montana

Get Ron from Montana on a 300ft east coast ice-sheet of a hill and I bet he changes his tune real quick.

That's why I'm questioning the integrity of the letter in the first place. Thinking it could be fake honestly. Who hand-writes a letter in these days? Don't see any crease marks in the paper either which is suspicious.

i mean there is no integrity when it comes to click bait. you dont have to have anything real to make a clickbait story, nobody expects unofficial to have accurate and factual information, unofficial not real journalism

it may be neat but the letters are way too close to eachother. That handwritten note is very hard to read, at least for me
 
I wouldn't expect anything close to actual journalism from this publication, but I can't believe they can get away with posting things like this unironically!
 
"Park skiing, by contrast, is a closed system, limited by the same features and obstacles every time."?

It is the opposite of closed, the park is where you can be creative.

Anyone over the age of 60
 
Was anyone else immediately reminded of east bound and down? ‘I play real sports.. I’m not trying to be the best at exercising’

also, being a good park skier makes you a better skier period, all else being equal
 
Heather I don’t think telling 10 people on Newschoolers not to click on links is going to discourage them or help the site catch up

Handwriting neatness and intelligence have a negative correlation

I think it's bait. Also kinda looks like a woman's handwriting to me idk.
 
Honestly thank god unofficial has started the satire letters. They always give me a decent bit of entertainment and point out the ways people can take skiing too seriously.

Unless Ron is a trans man, its fake. That letter was written by a biological woman born before 1995.
