Replying to Can skiing go further?

Ok boys and girls... it's intelligent discussion time. That means, no hating, no negativity, no name calling. If you have something to say, you must post it in an intellegent, well-thought out way. Think we can do it?

Skiing's future... In my opinion the sport will grow. However the question is for how long can our segment of the skiing world grow for?

Snowboarding has lots more money than us, because the simple fact is that there isn't as many different factions... a snowboard company has to have pro athletes to sell snowboards..period. Ski companies have Ski Instructors, Racers, Mogul Skiers, Big mountain, Park skiers, etc...

In my mind the future of skiing is for everybody to band together. There's no such thing as a big mountain guy telling a park kid to learn to ski, because they both ralise that they can both ski equally well, it's just a matter of where they live, or what they prefer to do.

Here's another interesting topic: How many tricks left are there to do? Once you've been watching cork 7's for 10 years, will it be tired?
