I wasn't trying to make fun of them but compare this guy to them. I guess posers was the wrong word. we all have our affects. Some guys wear silly helmet covers, some guy go all out tech with camera's etc, Mad River and some other places people revel in going super old school on equipment and clothing, some for jokes some take themselves quite seriously.Christ Mad River installed a new Single Chair lift, more expensive than if it was a double, I just think this guy shouldn't have been posted on the internet, someone took the time to create a video simply with special effects to mock him to thousands of people who don't know him , that is cowardly and unfair. Maybe the guy in the video stole the video-maker's girlfriend, probably because the video-maker was hunched over a computer while the other guy was carving turns.

Are you familiar with Saucer Boy? People have been making fun of over serious folks for ever and not just in skiing.

What am I Rush Limbaugh? I wish I had the cojones to wear a helmet cover with antlers or viking horns, but given my level of skiing I'd end up bullied on the internert.

Doesn't make it right, this guy didn't ask for this, years ago he could have been mocked by his friends at an apres ski bar, now he's all over the internet , and self righteous posters are mocking him, for what buying more than one camera's, or the brace, working out. If you know the guy and have the balls mock him to his face otherwise shut up and ski.

you know, ten of thousands of people make fun of Rush Limbaugh on internet forums daily. ;)

I knew I shouldn;t have said that , but if you can't see the difference between Limbaugh, with a 10 million Watt megaphone, and listeners and a job as a jock to shock
and the guy in the video who is just doing his thing , then you've skied trees once too many times without a helmet.

I for one embrace the GSA and all he brings. He let's us know that no matter how rad we are skiing, no matter how deep the pow we are in, he will always be two turns ahead of us. No matter how much we hope to remember our turns, he will have them eternally remembered in multiple perspectives. No matter how deep the crevasse, he will return. I will follow in the GSA's way and some day be the best skiier on the mountain. I will train for Alaska.

Hallelujah! The GSA has fulfilled its prophecy! The seas shall open to swallow the land whole and the sky shall now burst forth with blizzards. It has come to the high place. The training has ended.
