Is it easier to make a career out of freestyle skiing if you are a female?

JusticeBeaverThe fact that you cant even be bothered to spell Maggie's name right is all that needs to be said here.

CauseImMiloTheir skill level isnt as high purely because there are less of them. if there are two completely equal parks, but 10 skiers who ski at one of them, and 100 skiers who ski at the other park, the group with 100 will have better skiers. Its debatable whether female skiers have true equal opportunity in park skiing, but there are wayy less female park skiers than male skiers.

DolanReloadedHaha do you think you can actually convince anybody that you yourself believe something like this?
Its very rude to try to fool somebody into believing something you dont even believe yourself. You shouldnt do it because you just make ppl in your practice look like gigantic assholes.

If what you said was reasonable then it would be reasonable to assume female top 10 tennis pros would still be in the top 10 if they faced male tennis pros, because female tennis is pushed just as much or more than male tennis, but the reality is that the 10 best female tennis players in the world wouldnt even crack the mens 1000 in rankings. This is what 2 tennis pros and an all american college tennis player friend told me and i trust them more than i trust you. Sorry. Also its been documented that the williams sisters in their prime challenged a mens player who was ranked like 204 in the world at the time and the williams sisters both lost 6-0. Also john mcenroe remarked that he could come out of retirement and beat any womens tennis player, in order to silence the Me Too “but what if“ bullshit conjectures getting tossed around by media acephalics.


Its kind of funny bc ppl like you completely justify my role in the world Lol

vibecheckstefany step

PoikenzIf it where possible to calculate the ratio between pros and those trying to become pros you would have the answer. Other than knowing those figures I don't think you could claim to 100% know the answer. It is hard to be the best in any discipline regardless of sex, why would skiing be any different?

brentkimballrock solid argument 👏🏼👏🏼

little1337This thread fucking sucks

brentkimballaren’t men naturally stronger and more athletic? why can’t that just be the conclusion

DolanReloadedYeah. I feel like when all the sponsors got behind kelly sildaru in 2012 as if a 70 pound kid doing the worlds easiest-to-look-impressive-at extreme sport was going to blow everybodys mind... it just reeks of a hidden agenda to me.



where is the male equivalent of kelly sildaru?
There really isnt a male skier that was packaged by sponsors and (cough, “the powers that be”, cough) the way sildaru was.

BedBugDougDolan should become gender fluid and then win womens slope style, freeride world tour, and GS. Then he can come back to this thread and let us all know how easy or hard it was.

elm.I agree that Maggie's skiing was a little...stiff, but being a woman has nothing to do with that. This thread is dumb and pops up every year

k-robI 100% guarantee there isn't enough coordination betweens sponsors in this industry (nor will there ever be, some are just too core to even get along with anyone else) to develop any sort of conspiracy to influence the direction of the sport toward, as you suggest, young women, otherwise the athletes wouldn't have to do that themselves. you sound like a hater and a methhead, frankly. I can think of like 5 different brother duos in pro skiing who were sponsored and everything when they were like 13, and that was over a decade ago. this whole thread is just a really stupid fucking question, do you think anyone outside our sport has ever even heard of any female skier half as much as theyve heard Bode Millers name? Shane McConkey doesn't even get the cred he deserves in the extreme sports community and you wanna shit on girl's freeskiing? i honestly hope nobody ever fucks you.

TRVP_ANGELand once again Dolan hit hook, line and sinker.

JpurdGuy makes thread about female skiers.

1 female posts in thread - gets bashed.

27 guys post in thread discussing female skiers and what their obstacles are with no female input

Seems about right.

5AvalancheSo like women just shouldn’t do sports then because ** sports are only for men ** according to you...

it’s not about having the same playing field it’s about advancing your own field. Congrats on your 1950s antiquated opinions.

DolanReloadedI thought i said this b4 in some other thread but cant find it.

i think there is a conspiracy to use female pro skiers to push the me too agenda because most people who have never skied dont know how easy it is to do tricks with shitty style and superficially to a lay person it looks like the girls are doing more or less the same thing as the boys when they kind of arent.

i just watched the maggie voisson video and its impressive but its not really what gets me excited about skiing.

its kind of like when some dork does the moonwalk at high school prom acting like they are the best at dancing in their whole class but their style just makes them not fun to watch for whatever reason and all they accomplish is to make everybody kind of sick of the dancefloor and sick of dancing.

I of course think female pro skiers should be able to make a living off skiing but for them to be making more than the boys would be carcinogenicly sexist and prejudicial.

chef_boyardeegirls who ski: wow I can't wait to hop on newschoolers.com and find out what opinion DolanReloaded has about women's skiing

DolanReloadedI think disabled athletes such as partial amputees and challenged athletes should be paid as much at events and sponsored the same amount that female and male athletes are.



Oh no did i just pop your adorable little balloon...
