No no no no no. Newschool is a state of mind. You can bring a newschool attitude to any type of skiing. TGR just isn't the same. I have an account that I don't use because I got bored. There's just a different stoke. I like newschoolers because we're young, stupid, arrogant and hilarious at times. You can bitch about 14 year olds on the internet or you can embrace their stoke. There are kids here who are a 100 times more passionate about skiing on ice than any TGR member is about skiing pow.

The last drop I was especially stoked on. I'd been looking at it from the lift for a couple years. The problem is it's a blind takeoff so you gotta guess your speed and there's no good way to scout it. And I did if while I was working so that was neat.

I clearly wasn't clear in my post. I meant ORIGINALLY created for park skiing (in my opinion, unless Mr. Bishop differs). Yes newschool is now a state of mind.

Not sure how you came to such a broad generalization. Are kids on NS are passionate about skiing? Without a doubt, yes. Do kids on NS rip? Once again without any hesitation, yes. But to generalize that guys on TGR are not as passionate about skiing is so completely false. As I mentioned earlier, look up some trip reports on TGR. You will find guys who camp out and do weekend long approaches to ski certain lines. You will find guys who have no life other than being a ski bum in a powder heavy area all across the world. Do they give two shits about sliding rails or pulling nose butter dub 12s in the park? Not at all. Do they live for skiing? Absolutely. Just because people have different priorities in skiing does not make either more or less in love with the sport than the other.

I honestly think that about 75% of people on this website would rather ski pow than park any day. I can't really speak, as I have only been on the east coast. I will get out there someday.

this, i have heard a couple of people on ns generalise west coast skiers like that, i might be wrong but i even recall a red name saying that east cost skier are "more core skiers" than west coast coz they still love skiing in shitty conditions, i think thats bullshit

i dont ski park at all really, i love nothing more than a steep slope of deep pow and next best IMO after that is a sexy untouched GS course, i don't consider myself a newschooler or a free-rider or a racer, i consider myeslf a skier with a love for every aspect of the sport.

I wouldn't say its underrated. People who have to ski on 200ft vert simply can't relate to it. It's ok to watch someone ski a sick line and then say "well, that was sick, but I still got bored".

For the same reason I don't want to watch someone slide a double kink in 42 different ways. Even if I know that some guy in an edit just threw down the sickest possible combination on the sketchiest rail ever built... I don't get too excited watching that.
