Replying to I need me some skiers

First off, I have never ever skied in my life. I'm a snowboarder. I know very little about skiing. I had a run in with some middle school losers on skis last week. They were being rude and all, but not cause they ski, cause they're middle schoolers. Anyway, that's as close as I've gotten to skiing. I don't know anyone who skis.
I'm on here because I want to do an article for my small time snowboarding mag about the skiing culture. Like what's cool in skiing, what tricks are hot now, what some good vids are, etc. And I wanna get an interview in with some skiiers. Like what they (you) think of us (me) and what skiiers think about what snowboarders think about skiiers. So if there is anyone on here who is sponsored or just really into skiing and wouldn't mind answering some questions let me know. Also post here what's hot in snowboarding now, some top brands in skiing and your views on snowboarding. Thanks a lot!
