Yeah who gives a shit about not skiing 'properly'. And fat skis? Steezus Christ! (lol) Like you weren't grateful for not being totally exausted after a sick pow day? As far as snowboarders go, SBC Skier magazine reported a 2% drop in overall sales of snowboards between the '06-'07 season and the '07-'08 season! And that percentage is going up! Skiing even converted my diehard snowboarder brother!
im still finding it extreme but thats just me. i understand that there are a whole bunch of things making it easier but still there are ways to challenge yourself.
Skiing is still extreme, park skiers just pretend it isn't. I'm so extreme I have a visor helmet. Lol.
Anyways, if you have a problem with it then do something different. Don't follow the trends, do your own thing.
well my mountain has a tow lift. and i think that's pretty extreme saying we have no chairs...And try doing hard core racing up and down the hill for 5 laps hitting every feature. ya my hill is extreme.
