IMPORTANT!!! interesting to know the troubles we face

if any of you have been following the controversy over olympic qualifications you know this is a very emotional, and unfortunately badly misshandled situation.  From what ive read i am CRUSHED.  such a unanimously unpopular and condemned decision will only result in a negative impact, when there was such amazing opportunity to really take our sport to unbelieveable heights.

this may be centered around snowboarding, but its relevancy should be obvious.  Even if you ski this is an interesting, and educational read. 

PLEASE READ!
