Is Alpinezone the new Epicski?

Frankly, I hope it's neither! Both have their fair share of gutter-sniping and intolerance of differing points of view - something I've never really experienced in my (admittedly limited, though lurking for a long while) time here.

I hope that you are not a Cannon skier.

It's pretty much impossible to have an online forum without some level of gutter sniping and intolerance. It's just the way of the world.

Really, not so different from you high school hallway in between classes :lol:

I'm going to the nurse's office....

Neither.
Both Epic and RealSkiers have a major focus on technical how-to and gear. AZ does very little on those fronts.

Epic is gay. (not that there is anything wrong with that). Its just they think their shit don't stink over there. Too many ski instructors. It's like Alberto Tomba once said when he had an off day..."I ski really bad today....I ski like ski instructor"....

Welcome Songfta. Your posts here would be quite refreshing. Long time no see on SJ too.

I don't think so for the following reasons:

  1. No accusatory "You're a gaper" talk
  2. No "Skiing in the West is so much better" chatter
  3. People here don't buy 3 new pairs of skis a year
  4. There aren't 10 page threads on skiing technique

So now AZ is into gay-bashing?
Please make this go away, someone.

If you guys think I am gay bashing you haven't been around these parts too long.

When you write "EPIC is gay" with the intent of putting EPIC down, you use the word gay as an insult.

Now if you don't think doing that is bashing, then you haven't been thinking too hard about what it is you're really doing when you say "That's gay" when you mean "I don't like that".
