Oh I love the hot take section, its going to increase engagement SO MUCH.
Re: this episode’s take: I got really frustrated when Whistler went to Vail because the passes go expensive. Yes, I COULD ski at so many other Vail resorts, but I can’t actually afford to do that, as its all international travel. I’d rather pay less and only be able to ski Whistler. As far as I know, there isn’t a local’s pass for Canada :/
My hot take: skis these days are too high-speed-oriented. Most people don’t ski massive ski resorts and would be better suited to ski more laid back to really enjoy skiing. Sure the adrenaline hit is fun but skiing should be more than that. People should be able to have fun going slower.
Ok, Michael – I’m adding that take to our notes for our next Reviewing the News. Cody & I will definitely discuss.
Oh! Not required, but much appreciated!
Personally I have skied at large resorts like Whistler Blackcomb, Silverstar, Big White, etc., but absolutely love the small independent hills. But when I ski there, everyone is on big stiff charger skis, and if you’re lapping a fixed-grip 2-seater from 1967 on a charger you’ll spend more time sitting than skiing!
I don’t think its that hot a take but its always interesting to hear the opinions of those in the industry as they’re often the ones involved in the designs that I’m harping against.
Keep up the great work
MTBing needs natural selection. I hope to see it like old Rampage. The community is pretty upset with the direction of Rampage and there is room for them in the scene.
You can buy day passes for a lot of Vail resorts (early) for $90 a day, which I know is still insane, but it is far less than the walk up price at most resorts during peak season. You don’t necessarily have to buy a season pass.
