Replying to Non skiing magizines "promoting" skiing

My little cousin got this Boys Life mag for scouts or something. The cover had a picture of some kid hitting the take off to a rail and just landing on the ground. You know just being a gaper. I read the article about the cover story and all it said was that these kids from florida decided to go skiing. All right I'm cool with that. But they were showing the kids putting on their skis and they were all looking like they were going to eat shit just from that. The kids had the chin straps from their helments under their bottom lip and some were wearing blue jeans. No one had proper length poles, the pole were like 4 feet long for a 5 foot tall kid. So many things wrong here.

I am ar school right now so when I get home I'll see if I can post the article. This shit is so far from ok.
The reason I say that is not cause I dont want gapers in the park (which I don't) but rather because all the "tips" they gave were not correct. Putting pictures of kids with their equipment on incorrectly or not being used properly is what bugs me.

Rant over

What do you guys think of this?
