Hello!
I am hoping some of you will help me with a story that I am writing about terrain parks. The focus is on Vermont, so if you ski there, even better. Let me know what you think about the questions below or tell me other stuff that I did not ask about but is important to you in regards to skiing.
Thanks for your help, Heather

QUESTIONS
How long have you been skiing in parks?
What got you interested?

When you are skiing, are you competitive, supportive, encouraging, critical of others? Is there a big community aspect?

Do they think of yourself as being distinct from the rest of the skiing population, more closely tied to snowboarding?

How would you describe yourself or the typical person in the park - style, interests, etc.

What do you think the male/female breakdown is in interest?

Is competition an important aspect of the sport for you?

im willing to help.

I have been skiing park 2 of the 10 years i have been skiing

seeing the variety of things you can do in the park compared to other areas, the art of presenting it, and the first feeling of progression.

I supportive, competitive and encouraging.  there is a huge community aspect, the things you do for yourself and other, will help you become a better skier in my aspect.

??

not going to describe myself, but i think style is very important and having the right view on things and being smart.

??

depending on were you want to go with the sport. competing gives me a good look at what other people and myself is capable of doing.  it helps alot in a bunch of ways
