Racer kids in groups - annoying
Racers when they’ve grown up and chilled out - some of the best skiers on the mountain
Many freeskiers started out racing. You just learn fundamentals at such a precise level that can translate all over the hill. Honestly, I wish I could have at least gotten some race instruction growing up because I would be that much better of a skier now.
Also, I see some of you kids in the park and maybe some of you should try racing to get the fundamentals..
