[edit] Discussion
Most people spell "newschool" as one word. Example: [1]
I believe that the title of this article, "New school skiing," should be changed to "Newschool Skiing."
I agree it should be moved to "NewSchool Skiing".Zzz345zzz 18:10, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Why the capitol on school? That looks strange and confusing to me. cobalt 20:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
As a "traditional" skiier, I welcome "newschoolers," "freestylers," and "skiboarders." They bring new life to a sport often associated with upperclass, conservative Caucasians. It also seems a reaction to the snowboard culture developing. For a while, it seemed as if ski resorts were being taken over by snowboarders but now it appears the ski has reinforced its traditional dominance. This also brings up, what i believe, is a more present rivalry between trad skiiers and boarders. This is not appropriate in this article, but skiiers I know do not like the less talented masses of snowboarders scraping all the snow off of the easier slopes and crowding the slopes because they cannot keep up with their idols. Anywho, as a trad skiier, I want to see more newschoolers and skiboarders and more people getting up off their backsides because they dont have the balance and skill for boarding.
I noticed Some gross errors on this page, this article is clearly designed to trash many people, and is not NPOV
[edit] Newschool Ski Icons
This article should include influential professional skiers who helped shape the sport, such as Tanner Hall, JP Auclair, JF Cusson, and others.
[edit] History
Include a detailed history of newschool skiing. How did newschool skiing break away from traditional freestyle skiing?
[edit] Competitions & Events
A list of professional newschool skiing events: U.S. Open, X Games, Aspen Snowmass Open, American Freeski Tour, VT Open, Siver Young Gun Open, World Superpipe Championships, Bud Light Aspen Spring Jam, Candide Thovex invitational, Jon Olsson Invitational, World Skiing Invitational, Orage Masters
[edit] "Notable" Skiers
Are all of these skiers really notable? I think we should limit the list to a few, not every skier who considers themselves newschool. Thoughts? Searles2sels (PJ) 04:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
