All I can think about is how Gus Kenworthy would be shitting on the entire comp game if he never quit skiing

He still skis, but there's just a lot more money with a little bit less work involved in acting probably lol. He's a young attractive dude with decent acting skills and that could go a long way. Why on earth would you mess with FIS comp circuits when you could go rake in Hollywood money? fuck that shit lol, he'll have the last laugh when he's chilling in a slopeside Condo on a badweather day when everyone else is trying to practice their runs.

You know what hurts more? All my local resorts are charging 45 dollars for day tickets and because we have about 1 cm of snow they have 4 green runs open and thats it.

That's true, but it's not like he regularly drops ski content or skis in a large capacity outside of comps. I just miss watching him ski fr

Imagine complaining about 45 dollar tickets when they regularly go for 100 or more on the East Coast and 200 or more out West

I lived Europe for 10 years and 100 dollar lift tickets are considered high, usually we paid 40-50 bucks for a full day. Even here on the East if I wanna go anywhere that’s not on my pass? I’m SOL because no way I’m gonna pay $120 to go to fuckin Sugarbush or something

I know I'm making a mistake by replying to this seriously but I honestly think he doesn't get brought up enough in discussions regarding goats of skiing

I don't blame him in the slightest, skiing is a rough sport esp in comps, so I'm glad he's going after other stuff

but yeah he is/was one of the best park skiers ever, def hope to see him film more
