Replying to Big question - how did the internet change skiing culture?

Dear newschoolers members over 28,

Do you remember skiing culture before newschoolers was big? I am talking about the "old days" when skiers were not allowed in the park, and even before parks were invented and you could get in trouble with ski patrol for building jump. When you would have to wait an entire year for the ski movies to come out to see what sick lines/tricks were stomped in the previous year.

How do you think the skiing culture of the "old days" was changed once the internet came about? Were the "old days" better, or are we living in the golden era of skiing? I am especially interested in hearing from the oldest people on this site.
