Disagree. Everyone is going to freak out but I have a better time skiing park. I only go into the back country if the conditions are perfect. I dont really care what other people are doing. I am not going to be a pro or sponsored skier so I just want to have fun and there is no better feeling than landing a new trick. Back country is fun but I only hit it up if there is more than a foot of fresh or I am skiing with my kids that like that shit.

Just watch Teddy Bear Crisis and you would know that many of them already backcountry ski.

Ian you got a great idea, but you sound just like every pro skier that says that, and the sad thing of it is, when you say backcountry, it is no better, it still involves jibbing tree's, and building huge jumps in the b.c., in all actuality the landing is softer and EVERYONE says it. What skiing truely needs is for kids to just go out and kill it however they chose, whether they suck in the park but can ski tree's super good, than so be it, they can be a sick tree skier. Instead of trying to set a new trend, everyone just needs to develop or follow their own personal trend in skiing. Like me for example, i have days where i want to get in the park to hone my skills and get better, but i'd rather ski through the tree's and ski all over the mtn, than worry about where i can transfer my freestyle skills to. Everyone should just follow what they love to do and do it, not follow the crowd

Umm I hate to tell you this but people have been saying that for years now. It's just slowly happening. But yeah you are right on and anyone who says differently is either scared of the future because they are a park rat or from the East Coast. Either way their opinion doesn't matter so don't listen to them.

this isnt really ian cosco, unless he changed his user name. i think backcountry is much more fun than park, but seeing as i live on the east coast there isnt much backcountry right now

dude, this idea/ future of skiing thing has been around for a while. and its been done. the future is gonna be in seeing how big you can go in either areas. like droping a huge cliff or destroying a 95 foot booter.
