this is kinda a dumb thread but im curious...in like 20 to 40 years, most of us will still ski, but will we all still park ski. in my opinion it might look kinda weird seeing 40 and 50 year old people hucking stuff and doing sick rails...but it would be pretty cool to continue skiing that long. what do you guys think?

please dont hate

yes people will be. park skiing wasnt around when the current 40 year olds were young, so they dont have a background doing it. that is why some are apprehensive. because we do it now and have been doing it, we will continue to as we age. obviously people will slow down with the progression but i strongly believe people will continue to jib. you will see a lot more 30-40 year olds in the park in 10-15 years.

i think all the older skiers will still be skiing park, obviously not at the same level as they do now.

but there will be something new and differnt tha all the younger skier will be doing.
