Lastly what's wrong with selling out? The Brills had enough passion to create and bring to fruition one of the greatest natural riding places in Southern Colorado and they're sell-outs for letting themselves get some publicity for the amazing place they've built? If I ever come up with a great idea that I build out of my own creativity and passion and then let someone pay me a lot of money for it, why do you have to call me selfish? Because you have to look at someone else’s lines when your still skiing or snowboarding fresh powder 3 days after a storm. (Silverton Alums will agree)

I know your kind; you think yester-year was always better and that the world is going to hell in bucket, but your negative criticism of today may or may not be validated in the years to come. I personally think that the momentum in our sport is phenomenal and allows all of the resorts close to you to stay open and charge cheaper ticket prices during these times. Yes there were better years, but there were also WORSE ONE'S as well!

Atrocity my ass! I almost feel bad for the guy. I wonder if he ever remembers a time when he wasn't hounded at the slopes. Cowboy, outside of your friends telling you what you did the night before while waiting for the lift in the morning you can make turns all day by yourself if you want.

So the arguably best person in our sport gets his own half-pipe in the middle of an awesome mountain to train for the OLYMPICS in 2010! Like it's out of the question for Olympic athletes to be treated like GOLD? (Pardon the pun.) Would you be upset if someone built Michael Phelps his own pool to train in? Or is he a sell-out too.
