if youve ever met Steve Bellamy, you'd know why this list is skewed. If you havent, check his http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bellamy, he wrote it himself!

So, lest it be, that you one day have the opportunity to become the CEO of a company dabbling in skiing.

Just a straight "No"? Or would you somehow turn the whole capitalist scheme of company hierarchy and agendas upside down by becoming the first independent NPO in the skiing world. Yay, free twips for errryone.

Some quick flaws I saw in the media list:

-At least four of the top media members are no longer working in the ski industry
-my boss, DT, is on there twice. That might not be a flaw.


No one has the complete knowledge to rank the entire ski industry on a list of 250, especially not the ski channel. For a more accurate perception of who's influencing the ski industry, go to your local hill or read the comments on this site. Companies pay more attention to them than you'd believe.

Silly list.

No opinion needed, you're stating a fact.

When they give me my degree in a couple weeks though I'll make sure to run it by them though. I'm sure they don't want me making mistakes on the Internet. But, if they do care I will make sure to tell them about a know it all teenager on NS that locks himself in his room that would be really good at finding all the osu students that make mistakes on the Internet.
