Mad River Skier

If you do not know what madriver is, feel free to disregard this. I've been skiing pow for my entire life. Even raced a bit, but hated the people in it so I quit. I got into the park a while ago, didn't touch rails though. Until today. It was because of your advice and your support that this kid you probably thought was a gaper learned to grind; didn't fall once. For that I thank you and to anyone else who ever helped out someone else while skiing because you made my terribly shitty week into a good one. Hiked for a solid 1.5 hrs, sweating, exhausted, but it was worth it. I'm sorry if this is taking up space or whatever. it might be unnecessary, but I kinda just wanted to share this. Thanks.

This definitely put a smile on my face too. I'm so glad someone helped you out to show you the ropes of rails! That's awesome.
I'm glad to be apart of a sports community where people will help out "beginners", (to certain parts of our sport).
We should all be like the guy who helped this guy out. Just look at how great a day he had just because someone took a little time to show him a couple things.
Again, that's awesome.
