I have an observation, then a question. Why is women's freeskiing where it is? We have recently all seen women who don't train year round do things that would challenge those that do:

and i don't understand why women haven't gotten to this point sooner. Female gymnasts and ice skaters can do flips and spins that rival men's freeskiing, so why have women fallen so far behind? Is it a lack of corporate support? Courses designed solely for men (which i saw suggested by Kaya and Sarah in a freekier article)? Or possibly the grim reality that maybe today's top pro's just aren't that good? Im not trying to sound like an asshole, but womens skiing shouldn't be 5-7 years behind men's. Women's aerials aren't. I for one would love to see a point where a setup 360 and a cork 9 didn't win a women's halfpipe run, and a cork 9 wasn't the best trick in a slopestyle run. Thoughts?
