TGR put together a somewhat thought provoking piece for The North Face's "The Rise" series.
The North Face: The Rise Ep. 9 - E-volution
I've been spending a lot of time working on a little project that explores this subject and I'm trolling for some insights from the greater community.
How has the internet changed skiing for you?
I'll go first:
Researching product is easier than ever, as well as learning about the terrain I want to explore, the athletes I look up to, and finding powder and steeps stoke in the middle of July. In short, it's just made my addiction worse.
Sincere feedback is encouraged, but I know that I'm probably asking for it with a troll like this.
I will use soundbites from your responses in a presentation at SIA and later at Dibraca \\\'14.
If you are interested, I will be presenting with Todd Jones, Todd Ligare, and a few other awesome people at SIA at 9am Feb. 1 in the Bluebird Social Zone booth #278.
I'm also getting soundbites from TGR forums (Those have been pretty priceless. Whatever creativity is lacking in their insults is definitely more than compensated for with passion. It's truly poetic.) and NewSchoolers. It should be interesting to see the different perspectives.
