what on earth are you talking about? kids are just as stoked to ski today as they were then. when kids of today are on par with pros as far as rail style is concerned that just shows you how much we have progressed in such a short time. if skiings vibe used to be like that, then i dont want it back.
the only thing i miss from that time period of 2004ish was the super tweaked corks like simon and tanner used to do.
