    Devon says the sport is dying and then absolutely trashes efforts to make it a more exciting, accessible, and watchable sport. Skiing will die if it doesn’t evolve in its mindset and formats. There must be ways to bring in other countries and challenge conventional wisdom. Thanks to Nat for challenging this stodginess!

  • FasterSkier, really? Bad ambassador for the sport.

    This host is the front door to your brand? No wonder there aren't more people (especially women) coming in to the sport. Being knowledgeable and being a good ambassador are two different things.
