Pro Skiers' Political Affiliation/Preference

Was perusing a few political threads in NSG and got me to thinking, "which way to pro skiers (or just those in the spotlight) lean on the political spectrum?" We all know who's liberal and who's conservative among members, but it never really seems to come out among the pros (probably for good reason). Is Wabs a libertarian? Is Crazy Karl crazy liberal? Speculate and discuss.

I'm sure that everyone can agree on wanting legalization for dank memes. #rarepepesmatter

And marijuana.

Political affiliation in pro skiers is linked to which way they spin.

Almost every European pro would be regarded as social democrats. Sanders would win without question if you let europeans decide.

Don't bring politics into the realm of skiing. It's irrelevant and may take away from pro's appeal whichever way you lean. #bishopforpresident

The intention is not to polarize the ski community over politics, but rather to humorously examine a rather unknown aspect of skiing's more visible people.
