The Future of Skiing???

I think the future of skiing could be urban lines. for example someone cruises down a snow covered street, hits some rails, jibs some stuff, and does a wallride or ubd at the end. so many things could get incorporated into these urban lines that it could make for really enjoyable movie segments and some cool competitions.

That may happen, but I think I'll stick to skiing powder and jumping off cliffs.

I think it would be cool to see, but not as a direction that our sport should head.

i think the future of skiing will be approximately the same as it has been for the past forty years: a lot of weekend skiers shredding groomed blue runs at ski resorts.
