Park.my post wasn't about getting paid. Maybe reread after knowing that. I was just giving an example of what they are not doing for people in the community, and then a genuine question of what are they doing for the ski community. You didn't acknowledge the first thing or answer the second. I'm answering based on the topic post, not the range of my thoughts and feelings on STE. I'm not calling them out for doing their thing to live and make money, but it's a huge bummer for such a presence to be so culturally out of it.
As for personally attacking me, I do work in the ski industry. I have for a while. You might've heard about some stuff I'm involved with. I get how it is in this industry. My stance is coming from a place of being sick of people doing it in regressive ways to summarize. I'm surprised you don't agree honestly. Regardless, If you think the current state of affairs is healthy for the community, we won't see eye to eye.
Ultimately, I've met a lot of people from STE, and they're who get me stoked. Not STE itself. I'm not hating on STE, I'm being upfront about what I've witnessed up close for the past ~6 years.
WormracerInstead of picking each other posts apart so you can "win" some argument that isn't anything more than you complaining go do something about it.
Go and make your own east coast tall tee brand that is core. Do that, become successful, influence generations of skiers and maybe your criticism will be somewhat valid.
