The ultimate controversy

There are several things that have changed in the past few years of skiing that really irritate me, and let's see how many others...

1) Urban skiing. Skiing belongs in the mountains, get back on your skateboards or rollerblades.

2) The word "steeze." What the fuck? - enough said

3) Bandannas? Are skiers trying to become gangsters or am I missing something entirely here?

4) What do poles have to do with rails? and what good do your goggles serve when you are hitting your homemade rail in august?

This could go on and on, it seems to me that skiing has become more of a fashion show than anything else. Do any of you ski for fun anymore or are you trying to be the most badass on two planks, when you leave the glock at home?

have you gone skiing somewhere that actually gets more than 36 inches of snow a year? i just hit a handrail the other night, and i can honestly say it was nowhere near the most dificult thing i've done on skis before.

THIS is original, some douche who thinks he owns the mountain because he skis power and has the higher moral ground decides to make a post about how "gay" street rails are. great man. stop responding to this thread it only encourages him..

i agree about the fashion show point, some skiers are very flambouyant, but a lot of skiers aren't, and the rest is all bullshit, just stupid personal opinions of yours.
