Forums are the true soul of the freeskiing community. Forums gives everyone -from industry insiders to weekend warriors- a voice and a medium through which they can share and express their thoughts, opinions and questions with the world.
Watching skiing is great, but I believe that the rhetoric that derives from the skiing is just as important, if not more. You enjoy watching skiing? Go buy some ski movies. And there are still plenty of edits coming out that are a click away in the video section. I see a new edit every day or so in the top rated category. If that isn't enough for you, maybe you should go outside and make your own edits.
