I don't fault anyone for pursing a career over riding everyday, or riding everyday over a career. Just do what feels good and works for you.
As far the article goes, I think its bullshit. Snowboarding is still very popular and alive. Tourism may have slightly decreased due to state of the economy but it'll pick back up. Summit county is still packed on the weekends, and it brings in a ton of money to keep the mountains going! Us season pass holders don't bring in the big bucks for the resorts.
Sincerely, a sell-out.  |
OI can only hope I can score a career like that, where I have plenty of financial stability and the flexibility to have the free time to enjoy that money.
