Kaya is sick.... at jumping and rails, neither of which take any actual high performance SKIING skills. Sorry but it's true, just look at how many kids can kill a park line but cannot get around a mountain without sketching every turn. I'm not saying that all park skiers can't ski well, but it is a sad fact that many park skiers are not very strong in the actual skiing side of the sport.

Pipe takes a lot of skiing skills, which is one of the reasons that so many jibbers find it really hard.

Kaya's actual skiing is improving, but it does not even compare to the Sarahs, Jens, Davinas, Angelis etc etc who can boost out of a pipe because they are strong skiers with long skiing backgrounds.

What Kaya does is absolutely awesome, but with all due respect for her talents, I would not have her in a top 10 list of girl "skiers". She would definitely be right at/near the top of a girl "slopestyler" list though.

Best girl skier - Sarah, she is the most well rounded by a mile, can ski everything from park to moguls to pipes to pow.

Haha, hit it on the nail. Such a blunt approach.
Park "Skiing" is on skis, so it's just as worthy of being called skiing as any other type of skiing.

No, he didn't.

asian, you say that he is "pissed off because a fruitbooter came and destroyed the competion". You're only saying that because you are one of those angry rollerbladers that think that everyone has a grudge against them!

The man simply stated his opinion. He said that HE RESPECTS KAYA and all that she does, but that he doesn't put her in his top 10 girl skiers. But then you had to go and call him a douchebag? Why don't you take your own advice, and fuck off allen.

Wow, way to take a post in the worst possible way.

Sorry for venturing an opinion that "best skier" in my eyes involves more than just one aspect of the sport. By the way, it had absolutely nothing at all to do with rollerblading or Minnesota (??).

I did say (more than once) that Kaya is super sick at what she does, and she deserves ton of respect, so maybe you should chill out a little. What are you on 'roids or something?

I'm "clearly pissed off that" Kaya started skiing? How the hell do you make that kind of assumption? Shit.

Well he did about the whole "skiing in the park is not skiing" attitude that some people seem to have. It was the whole part referencing to carving turns being more legit than park that I thought he was reacting to.

Man, people really misinterpreted that I guess. To clarify- I only meant to say that park skiing doesn't require the same type of technical skiing ability that pipe does. I never meant to claim that park skiing isn't real skiing, just that it is a specific type of skiing with a specific set of skills.

It's a fact that you don't have to be a technically awesome skier to go through a park line, it's also a fact that you don't have to be a sick rail skier to kill a gs course, and you don't have to be able to do a switch 10 to kill a backcountry line. It's still all skiing, there are just different sets of skills involved in each side of the sport.

If I say "Girl ski racers are the best girls at making technical high speed turns on ice" That statement doesn't mean I am shit-talking all of the freeride girls, or claiming that anything other than racing isn't real skiing.

Personally I chose Sarah as "best girl skier" because I thought she was the most well rounded girl skier out there. She has skills in lots of different areas of the sport.

I disputed Asian's claim that Kaya would dominate pipe skiing, because I think that with their backgrounds, some of the current pipe girls (Sarah, Davina, etc) are stronger technical skiers, and that comes into play a lot more for pipe than it does for slopestyle.

Apparently Allen thinks I was also insulting rollerblading and minnesota, not sure how that happened.

Yes, I did say that SOME park-only kids can't perform great technical turns, but so what? If I said mogul skiers would totally suck in a world cup downhill race, are they going to get their panties in a bunch?

I never dissed Kaya at all, or park skiers (I'm primarily a park skier these days), just saying that park skiing takes a pretty specialized set of skiing skills. Whereas other sides of the sport rely more on different skiing skills.

It is all "skiing" whether you are doing park pipe moguls racing bc etc.

Wow, nice post. Sorry, I misinterpreted your original post a little, and I was mainly just posting on the issue itself that I've seen many people talk about. It wasn't really directed at you so much as at the huge amounts of people that have pretty much said that park skiing isn't skiing, in those words.
Apologies for confusion.
