WTF America! 
What have we come to, people! Look at you, riding on all sorts of "easy" BC set-ups! 
What happened to the manly ethic of using gear that barely works? Now that is earning 
em, people.

Imagine. Kids today...taking honest snowboards, meant for only downhilll, and then 
spliting them, abortion-style into skis known as Splitboards...or how about those monster 
hucker AT resort DIN 12 set ups, now getting the park kids into fresh snow? ...even the 
folks who should be struggling on leather boots, 200 cm skis and tele cables, are instead 
using those little wussy Dynafit "ballet" bindings!

Where did the bearded, wool wearing, purple plastic knee pads-on-the-outside, skinny 
tele ski Vermont hippies all go? They used to rule the woods, you insolent pups! 

(Well, at least they did rule back in the 90's, when I skied the woods!)
