14076900:Microcosm said:Wow endless hate in this thread. SO,
What does Newschoolers do to be more conscious for the environment and the skiing we all love so much? We're all scootin around in cars to get the mountains and, unless you're only touring, using energy for chairlifts, lodges, etc.
Personally I work in solar for over a half decade, helping deploy shit tons of megawatts of solar power to our grid. And I work from home so, hooray no commute fumes.
We can all show up and shit on someone, or we can take the message and do something about it.
What do YOU do?

14094450:SkiBum. said:Im not gonna read all these pages of bullshit but I don’t get all the hate? Okay she’s more of a model/influencer then a ripping skier. Who cares? I’m sure everyone here wishes they had that as a career. She’s a bit over the top but she’s got her cause and soapbox and is letting all know. And it’s not a shit cause, it’s something relevant to us all in skiing. So idk why all the hate.
14094452:-eREKTion- said:I think the gist of this thread is that she's not a skier and her being promoted as a pro-skier takes money from the legit female rippers of the world. Also, her jet-set lifestyle why proselytizing environmentalism is sanctimonious and contradictory.

14094819:Twinjibber77 said:Does anyone on here know her personally? I really want to hook her up with my cool Australian friend that is planning to run one marathon a day across all of Africa, starting in South Africa... he's such a cool dude with positive vibes for everyone... look for his GoFundMe and please donate so that he can afford this... he plans to donate AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE to the kind souls he meets along the way who really need it

14095522:VT_scratch said:How is she taking money from "legit female rippers of the world" though? Brands who support her clearly support her because of who her audience is (demographic), and her reach (followers) - not because of how she is ripping. Simple marketing is it not? You go to her website and her homepage literally says "Sierra is a professional model." What ski companies even sponsor her? Is it only Nordica?
14095538:theabortionator said:I think the insta influencer thing is stupid and I can't follow those people but if you wanna do it and make money, whatever. I can't knock the hustle.
Her reaction that started this thread and the shitshow that followed is really the only reason why people were calling her out and why this thread exists.
She seems hypocritical as fuck and her and her psycho followers just want to last put at things. That whole bullshit where she was attacking ski companies. I just can't stand phony people and their soap boxes going after legit peope, being offended by anything, pretending they're saving the world. But she hosts plastic free fridays or whatever so I guess she should get a nobel prize or something.
People can do whatever they want but I dont see why it's shocking that people on here were annoyed by her. And as much as she has the right to post whatever on social media, people here have the right to do the same.
The internet sucks sometimes.
14095559:STEEZUS_CHRI5T said:She isn’t even that big, you guys made her sound like a super star. The thread is a pretty bad read though, I couldn’t make it past the first page and did some digging on my own. She’s just like any other influencer, I didn’t see anything over the top or upsetting.
Anyways, I agree, let’s put it to rest.
14095651:skierman said:I think you kids are pathetic for trying to protect her from her own shitty decisions and fake life style just because you like to jack off to her before going to bed. She wants a living based on social media, let her have it and all the baggage that comes with her self-destructive hypocrisy.

14095705:-eREKTion- said:Her IG says she's a "professional skier", Nordica promotes her as a member of their "Freeride Crew" (she's actually more prominent on the list than Dale Talkington). At the end of the day, you're right, being a pro is about marketing but if any of us want to even pretend like we love this sport then we shouldn't let metrics like audience engagement, followers, or likes determine what it means to be a pro.
I have never seen a video of Sierra skiing. Should insta models with large followings start getting sponsored by ski brands because of their potential marketing value? Or does that cheapen the sport?

14096105:Dinnerrolls said:Her being more prominent on Nordicas team page honestly just makes sense. She has a lot of pull in the female community, and as much as I wish guys like Dale Talkington had more influence on people, it just won't happen. However, I do feel like that it says something about Nordica as a company to have her be their number one girl. Nordica chooses to support women on their "freeride crew" who do not push the limits of female skiing at all. They are more focused on follower count and looks for their females, rather then their actual skiing ability. Which in my opinion sucks, but thats how they're choosing to do it.
