They probably have a bigger cubical than you do
I don't know her, so I can't spew hate. I do know that she gets it done though. Only woman and one of only 5 people to complete a Chuting Gallery lines. I'm impressed. To paraphrase Dizzy Dean, "If it's true, then you ain't bragging".CG is a great skier, a great athlete and totally full of herself. While, if you don't know her personally, you can dislike her public persona, you have to admire her skillz.
Same can be said for saucer boy, Glen Plake and maybe even Dean Cummings???
Is there a better self promoter than Sierra Quitiquit?Quote:

For the record Jess Shade and maybe 1 other woman has now completed the chuting gallery, and I think the total is around 12 but it was probably more difficult when caroline was doing it because there was less betaQuote:

Less beta?? This is the Wasatch we're talking about, the step by step directions to anything you might want to ski have been blogged about extensively for 15+ years...Quote:

It wasn't more difficult when she completed it, there were fewer people motivated to tick their way through a list so they can spray about it on the 'gram.

Well, he did hit someone in the face with an ashtray.Quote:

While I really like him, you can see how some people may not like his public persona. Otherwise, I agree.
Personally, I have heard more than one person say, "Glen Plake, what an idiot" or "what a goof ball". That which I consider "cool", others dislike.
Why not say that Scot Schmidt is a schmuck, because he drinks Louis XIII with rich folk at the Yellowstone Club. It seems ridiculous to me.
Your words don't form a cohesive thought or pointQuote:

No one is better at droning on endlessly about climate change and environmental issues while traveling nonstop worldwide. She’s the IG-model skier girl.Quote:

^^^ Thats why its called the Ski Business. When Lehman Brothers went tits up we were effectively bankrupt but the bank wanted us to retain as much value as possible so they kept us operating and that meant they had to have someone to throw the bombs and haul the injured. I was shocked they kept me on year round but I also did a lot of odd jobs during the off season. Right up until we were sold to Cross Harbor and given to Boyne to mismanage.:fm: I had been told repeatedly that we would never be sold to Boyne to technically it wasn't a lie.:eek:
Plake showed up at Camden Snowbowl on a thoroughly miserable day and was on fire. Former patroller buddy said it made the entire season for her and a lot of people and that he was a hoot.Quote:

Holy shit, did Shane and Plake really just get compared in this thread? I’m not a CG hater but this place has jumped the fucking shark.
^^^ Yep, Ski Bidness.
No kidding. Those are 2 of the funniest, coolest, most gracious people I've ever had the chance to talk to and the privilege to tour/ski/drink with and I can't imagine anyone saying otherwise.Quote:

I'd never heard of Sierra Quitiquit until reading this thread, but I looked her up and she is attractive, I'll give her that much. But now I want to know if that last name is legit or some kind of affectation.
Well CG skied and partied with Liz Daley so don’t feel I can rip on her too much.
Ian Mc would kick Cody and Brody's ass.Quote:

Why should some moderate from Utah listen to her while she’s off on her trust fund vacay life?Quote:

It's all about whoring yourself out to get people to buy shit they don't need. Plake, Shane, these Instagram athletes. All whores.
Fuck everyone. I'm the best skier on the mountain anyway. I'm going to start handing out 8x10's of myself skiing while on the hill.
Are you seriously putting Glen & McKonkey in the same sentence as an "IG athlete spancer whore"...you just lost your skier card for that shitQuote:

Ya don't get free goggles and get to call yourself a professional athlete.
Ya don't get to fundraise and such.
Brand ambassadors and athlete influencers are not professional athletes.
They are brand ambassadors and athlete influencers.
Big difference in my mind.
And when brand ambassadors and professional athletes are lumped together?
Social media at it's worst.
At least for me...
Great point. End result is the stoke gets watered down.

I agree with not calling yourself a pro if you get floated free goggles. The rest of it though, is not so black and white anymore.
IMO, if a person makes a majority of their money doing a sport I think they are a pro.
Some of the best skiers I know are ski bums not pros because they either can’t, or don’t want to, market themselves enough to get the sponsorships they would need
So a ski patroller? What about a gear tester? Or gear designer who gets paid to use it later? How about a ski model? Or a stunt man?
Yeah, I don’t know. It’s not black and white like I said, but I think most of them could be considered that
