alright, so i filled out your little NS survey and the last question was something along the lines of "what would you like to see more of, or change, or something, on NS" and I put some thought into the question...
...to my surprise I actually came up with an answer that I would actually like to see happen.
MORE CANADIAN CONTENT!
A perfect example of how this site is very backwards in it's workings is the current poll on the main page. The poll asks which NS staff member you would vote for as President of the U.S. Has it occurred to anyone here (including you - NS staff) that you are all Canadian, and we are currently having our own election right now, as we speak, which is being voted upon tomorrow!!!
Yes, I know the ski industry is very much driven by the American market, but come on guys, this website was created by a canadian, in canada, and is still currently owned and operated by canadians in canada.
I am calling everyone out. Not just the NS Staff but the masses as well. I know you're out there, and I know shit's going on... Yea, I know - everyone's all interested in what those pros are doing down there in Colorado, but this site is bigger then that. grassroots skiing in canada is cool damnit! I'd say I'd put my 'talking' into actions, but Jason already has that covered on the Rossland front. This winter, if there's a cool competition, a sweet booter sesh, anything that makes you go "sick brah!" I want to see it grace the pages of NS. I don't know about you guys, but I'm sick of reading about those folk down in New Jersey and their silly rail sesh.
We all know Canada is the best place in the world to ski, lets show everyone else what we're all about.
Darryl.
