Do you mean on NS or on the mountains? Because on NS it's pretty obvious. Internet egos and all that.
On the mountains though, I don't see any hate at all really. Some places have it, but everywhere in BC that I've skied (I'm honestly confused, is this how you spell skied? Spelling police help), everyone is either stoked or respectful of everyone. Except the tourists. But they are tourists, not skiers anyways...
I feel sorry for all you people who have to deal with all sorts of hate. Especially for you being a girl skier and most likely one of the only ones at your hill.
You brought up racers, and to be honest, I don't respect all of them all the time... Mainly it's because the ones I see are mostly the rich spoiled kids who instead of football or some other competitive team sport are out racing. Never seeming stoked about the sport, and getting coached by some fat middle aged man who doesn't seem to care about the fact that there are sick mountains surrounding them. I know that's a ridiculous generalization and not all racers are even remotely similar to this, but the clubs I see are like that. It's probably because the rich area of Vancouver is literally 5 minutes away from the mountain, so it's not like they have to be stoked to shred or dedicate any time, they just have to be bored...
What I think it all comes down to is ignorance to others' opinions, really. I don't understand racers, so I find it easy to judge them first. Just like oldschoolers hating on snowboarders. It's just easy to do when you don't understand who you're talking about.

Its because the larger a site grows, the more NS /b/tards show up and spoil it for everyone. Also the mods have been really lean on the rules lately. Man, the stuff that I read today... I had to double check the URL to make sure I wasnt on 4chan

Jackie, right? You seem like a really nice girl, and you have a great attitude. You rip, and you obviously love skiing. Welcome!
That being said, I think you should relax a little bit. If you take some time to do some reading and searchbarring, you'll find a lot of recent threads that are basically identical to the ones that you've created. Three or so threads in one day is a loooooot.

I really dont want to be a spoilsport, but NS has been sliding into shit recently. A new batch of mods might be in order.
Hey Jackie!!!! Your eagerness in your posting of late is exactly how you ski! Awesome!
Welcome to NS, you are now in your initiation period. hahahaha
Yeah - I am sure it is very disconcerting to read 50% of the stuff on here. No worries. take what you read with a grain of salt, you will learn quickly to filter through the BS very quickly. As Casual mentioned above, if you are thinking about creating a thread, try searching for the same similar title first.
