Good evening NS guys and gals!! Im writing an argument paper in English class, and i chose the topic of Womens skiing vs. men's skiing with recent applaud to Lisa Zimmerman. Ive created a survey which i would highly appreciate if you participate in, so i can get some simple data and statistics to include in my writing assignment. Cheers NS! and of course, KARMA will be rewarded for completing this survey.

WTF on question 2. Totally not doing it based on that question. Very few pros have private coaches. They discriminate only based on payment.

And the wording on question 3 as well.

Women deserve easier features?

True but disgusting word choice.

look at it in the eyes of a teenaged or mid-twenties female skier. that was the reason for my wording. If most people didnt think they deserved anything, then the whole society of the world would be different. It's an argument paper you need to look at it from both sides.

A women wouldn't they say want an easier course. They would say they want a course more appropriate for the level of skiing. There's a big difference.

Like I already said the way you worded it, it already sounds like you made the decision to hang womens skiing out to dry.

First, im arguing that it should be held to the same standard as men's, rather than alienate it.

That being said, women's DFD's are the same as men's DFD's. But how often do you see a lady doing a disaster 2 pretzel front 6. And not to bash women in any way, but when have you ever seen a female hit a jump bigger than Nine Knights jump? For that matter make it a 100 foot stepdown at the level 1 mqmmoth shoot. It flows the exact same way as women are used to, therefore it is still appropriate to the limits they have seemed to set upon themselves... but to me also, a 60 foot jump is a whole fucking lot less than 100. A great selection of pro lady riders could straight air or 3 that jump like its not a problem, but as soon as you throw in the risk factor of 40+ more feet its not as EASY anymore.

What grade are you in. Is this like a Position paper, i wanted to do mine on some aspect skiing but i couldn't because apparently my teacher thought skiing was now irrelevant due to the rise in snowboarding. some chick wrote about how snowboarding injuries are worse than ski injuries and one of her arguments was that skiers ruin the lips of jumps amd that terrain parks are supposed to be for snowboarders only.

+k for dealing with school crap when you would rather be skiing, i know that feel bro.

I'm soph in high school, but I'm in AP college prep literature. This doesn't really relate to my class, but it's extra credit if teacher is wowed and he wants to see how we write arguments
