Obviously some of the best extreme skiers come from Europe, and they have set the standard for years, but you have to admit, that the vast majority of European skiers (and that includes Americans skiing in Europe) ski between the 'boos. It never ceases to amaze me how much fantastic terrain remains untracked weeks after a storm in Europe, even extremely easily accessed options. Try and find untracked pow in the Jackson side country even a couple of days after a storm.
Just look a ski shops in Europe and compare the huge numbers of carving skis vs fat board compared to the US. I am not saying euros are rad skiers, they are fucking amazing and I pee my pants a little at seeing the lines they ski, it just seems it is a different proportion of on/off piste skiers.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot
