Are there any openly LGBT pro's in skiing?

About 5% of america self identifies as fully homosexual, while closer to 10% identify as bisexual.

Knowing this, we know it would be a pretty big anomaly if some of those pro's you see in da movies and X-games arent doin it with the same gender?

All I can do is ask, and hope.

bighomieflockAlright, I can respect that. I guess I don't really view pro skiers as social role models in general. Edits rarely show aspects of social life other than a bunch of dudes hanging out for the purpose of skiing. I feel like it would be hard to have pro skiers as a role model since basically the only thing we know about them is how they ski and small glimpses of their personality. That said I can still see the side of the equation where it would be comforting to know that there are other LGBT skiers that are accepted by the community.


the 4bi9 house edits are good examples of positive role models in the ski community. I suggest you watch and take note of all their benevolent and charitable personalities on and off the hill. I know I've learned more about correct behavior from those videos than any silly church sermon can preach to me.

Thanks 4bi9!
