Replying to Thoughts on future skiing culture
After a long year of strong racial tensions I feel like the skiing community has a long way to go in being more inclusive to poc. I have noticed snowboarding has been somewhat more inclusive than skiing but still not quite to the mark that most of us are comfortable with. I think skiing has a unique opportunity to be more appealing to poc with the skiing sensation that is mango. He is extremely talented and only a glimpse of what could be if our beloved sport was more diverse. I really wish that on3p would capitalize on the what they have. Countless white skiers have a pro model ski that are far less deserving, and unfortunately I think that may not be a coincidence. Magnus is very talented and great to watch in films but it feels so much more appropriate to just give the pro model to mango and just give magnus his topsheet. Think about how impactful that would be to poc to finally be represented in a sport that is extremely overrepresented by whites.
