"The Dos & Don’ts of Skiing: How to Not Be a Beater"

Came across this article on the NS Facebook page and after reading it I can't seem to agree with what the writer is trying to say..."Don't wear beanie and goggles under your helmet" "only your goggles should be flashy" "your poles should either be: A. a "borrowed" pair of rentals from the lost and found, or B. a 15 year old pair that have been beaten chipped bent and re bent." Don't wear colored outerwear unless your a pro modeling next years shit"

In my opinion this article is written with such a one way view...essentially it's the writers opinion on what is right...


Tell me what you guys think

So I can't buy new gear every year to look and feel good? That is the stupidest article I have ever read, you don't show how good you are with gear you do it with your moves and dedication on the mountain.

yeah that was pretty lame. a weird mix of wannabe "core"-ness, fashion police, and pro dicksucking ("did we mention you can do this one if youre a PRO?")

yeah that's great and all but that's a little tired...write an entire article, and disclaim it at the end with "if you disagree with me youre taking it too seriously!"

Yeah right! You should not impress people by how you wear during winter season, it's how you get them blow their minds for you! Nice winter clothes could mean nothing if accidents strikes on you! It's still better to be safe even it means oldie!

this article is dumb as shit, although i will say, buying poles is like fuckin your sister, why would you do that when you can steal someone elses.
