there are 10 girls there....and i think this was the first year girls prize money was same as guys...last year it was something like 5000 for first place or something....maybe not that exactly but im pretty sure it was less then mens 3rd palce.
and i think its funny that on this site people are always going ooo i hate spin to win its so stupid id rather see a slow steezy 7 then a hucked 12...but as soon as the convo turns to guys vs. girls you turn it into a spin to win comp...i donno...typical guys i guess....always changing thier minds to fit the situation....
just b/c girls are progressiong slower doenst mean we arnt prgressiong....girls are out there all the time trying and they should get props for the fact that they are trying...not put down cuz they arent as good as the guy they are skiing with....
