i hate his dispute, some racers are gapers but others kill it, especially ex-racers. i started racing so i could ski every day at school and so that i could really take my skiing to the next level and it's totally changed the way i ski. if you learn to adapt what you learned as a racer to freeskiing it puts you at a higher level. some racers suck but it pisses me off when people make the generalization that racers suck just because they race, i see plenty of jibbers who faceplant in pow, can barely ski down a groomer, and are ridiculously unstable skiers
everyone skis differently regardless of what type of skiing they do so don't make generalizations. i do both and i don't hate myself

I do not believe that this is what he was referring to, but I may be wrong. I think he just wanted to know if there is such a rivalry at other resorts. I don't feel that there is really a rivalry at Squaw, but it depends on the people kind of like what no_steeze said, hell last year I found out that the skier snowboarder rivalry truly still exists in some people. Also the best skiers that are racers don't look like racers when they are freeriding.

i agree i was a racer and it taught me to be a good skier i was just asking if there is a rivalry at other hills, i come from a small hill where everyone knows everyone and its just a fact that racers hate skiers and freekiers hate racers

i know some park rats fucking blow outside the park
they wear xxl oakley and have the look down, throw down decently in the park, and then you see them try to ski anywhere out of the park and it's epic failure. they're so concerned with looking steezy that they ski with their legs glued together while leaning back. and then on a pow day it's even more pathetic. some racers can't ski anything aside from groomers but there's no reason to hate them unless they're assholes. imo the best skier is an ex-racer who has adapted their skiing style to freeriding

Yeah dude, I fucking despise everyone who is different than me. Snowboarders, racers, big mountain skiers, european people, the list goes on. Because, you know, I'm obviously better than EVERYONE else.
