"You hear the babble in
barrooms, the chatter on Internet boards: Is skiing switch in powder
stupid? Does skiing without poles look lame? Is lapping the park really
"skiing?" Do racers ever ski anything but that one trail? The best
answer is the most obvious, and the one most overlooked: "Who cares."
As this next generation of skiers likes to point out, it's not about
what anyone thinks, its about having fun. Just the way it should be.
