The Future of Skiing

I'm sure this thread has been started a million times but a quick search didn't find one.. So what do you reckon is gonna be the next big thing.. What direction is skiing headed? For what its worth my predictions...
1. Urban Skiing -  You've all seen Think Tank - More tricks down stairsets rather than just hitting rails, more imaginative use of the urban environment. (I wish i lived in a city with snow). 50-50s on handrails..
2. More Division/Hating - We've seen it in skateboarding, everyone pretty much hates on anything that isn't their thing. Urban Skiiers will hate on Park Skiiers possibly, everyone will hate on the big comps Xgames etc.. (I hope this doesn't come true)
3. More 'Believe' Style skiing - More mid-mountain pow jibbing! My favourite..

booters and unique features. Theres alot of tricks that haven't happened in the BC. 180s are all that happen now, wait till we get past that stage.

its wierd, this season ive herd heard so much positive stuff about skiing from snowboarders its crazy. 
first,  this one snowboarder who seemed like the hardcore and snowboard only type, was talking to me about ski movies, like he was saying how awesome real time was, and like enjoy and stuff, and he actually bought some from this year. then my friend who snowboards and has snowboarded for ever and hooked up by a shop and stuff cause he is way good is now starting to ski like every 3rd day.  he watches my ski movies all the time and he talks about how skier pros are so much cooler and nicer than snowboard pros and how cool skiing tricks are.  
then yesterday this guy at a shop was talking about going to watch the x games, and he was like "yeah even though i snowboard, there is nothing more fun and exciting to watch than skiier halfpipe, and sometimes slopestyle, cause skiiers go sooooo much bigger"
its cool cause these snowboarders are so into skiing and they are realising that its way sick now.

i actually have tight neon green jeans and i did buy them to ski in but i changed my mind after i realized how fuckin stupid nen green looks on me. i think a trick we'll see soon is two switch ups(one after the other) on a quadkink urban rail.
i'd like skiing to become less comp orentated and to see more people make it big and get good sponsorship deals just for being stylee and making good sections. like EP does i guess. like this is normal in most slightly older extreme sports.
