Help SitSki get The Canyons Gig!

[iscariot]

I've loved some of the comments on facebook throughout all this, maybe this gy wins though:

"The UMG selection appears to have been a sham... a beautiful female former World Cup Skier and a paraplegic male skier. Looks like two major government agencies have had their cheeks warmly smooched.

And the demographics are even more stunning... the female attracts the younger males (largest % of skiers/shreders) while the male attracts the nurturing women who feel their need to attend to a paraplegic mans needs, cares and wants."

I definitely welcome these nurturing women who feel a need to attend to my needs, cares and wants. Video applications can be submitted right now for the first stage of "The Ultimate Masseuse/Stripper Gig".

FTW...

You should have put this in your video entry...



I mean, does this guy know that you can suck a golf ball through 50 feet of garden hose?


Congrats. Dibs on sleeping on your couch for the season...

That loser pm'd me on Facebook for calling him out as "clueless and classless". here is his pm and my response. I don't have the time for this POS but if anyone else wants to let him have it, be my guest.

Between You and John Janecek

I really appreciate your spelling ability. The winners are fine as corporate lapdogs but are they real people who work a 8 to 5 job for their ski pass? In the female's case, obviously not. She's been a darling of the World Cup and while she may have cut her teeth on the competetive skiing circuit, she most likely has led a privleged life.
The male, on the other hand, shows inner strength and is knowledgeable about the world and his surroundings.
But both were selected more for their demographic than anything else. Corporations don't need or want to show the guy or girl who works 10 or 12 hr shifts during the summer, planning ahead for a winter on the slopes. They want to show their soft under belly to the world. They care. Care for the $$$. That's what it is all about. Without the Working Skier/Shreder corporate ski enterprises like Canyons would have cake but no frosting.
In either case, though, It's all show and very little go.
I know a thing or two since I have a vast knowledge in the skiing industry due to over ten years experience in this field.

LOL. You're such a tool. I shit ten years of industry experience before my first cup of coffee in the morning, Then I go skiing....Just do us all a favor and try not to sound like such a whiney loser online. As for the spelling; I tried not waste too much time with your selfish diatribe, proofreading wasn't a priority.

In response to the Gig selection; WTF did you expect??? This is Talisker we're talking about here. Their motto is "Price has its privilege"!...but honestly Andy Cambell is rad as hell and that chick is cute, and a ripper. I'm a bit surprised they didn't pick a dentist from Ohio. Get over yourself.

[ectreeskier11]

You seem to be a better candidate for the UMG that most others. At least you are more familiar with the Wasatch Front than either of the two selectees.
I find it hard to express myself by calling a person a "real piece of shit" without knowing something about the person, at least a general picture.
I have worked for several Ski Resorts, in various jobs, for over ten years. I have been through good times on the mountainj and the bad ones too. I speak with some knowledge of the subject.
Corporate Ski Areas wish to portray themselves as "Glamorous, exciting, fast-paced ..." you get the drift. And their selections are typical of Corporate policy. The female selectee has, most likely, led a fairly privledged life. I'm certain she has never worked overtime during the summer, to get that ski pass for the up-coming season.
Or have waited at the entrance to LCC in a line that drives skiers/shreders crazy. She's glamorous and a World Cup competitor too. That's all she needed for her meal ticket.
The male, on the other hand, has dealt with life from a total different angle. A wheel-chair, a sit-ski... not the greatest way to view life at a resort.
The demographics had a bundle to do with their selection. One shows off the finer things of Canyons and the other, the down to earth ADA lifestyle one with a wheelchair has to endure.
Also note, a person at Canyons, who was near to this project, just quit recently...hmmmm ever wonder why I'm so cynical.





guess he liked me. not even gonna dignify with a response.

[neck beard]

Good job Andy. Out of country business is hardly their target, but I'd never even heard of Canyons before this. Nor that nice lookin' coworker of yours.

[CG]

Congrats dude, looking forward to the TR's

[My Pet Powder Goat]

not even gonna dignify with a response.

That's not much fun

dude is a real ego maniac. ...It's got to be all about his life experiences.

newsflash: Most people who ski are doing so because they came from "privilege" After all It's a fucking privilege to ski. period. He should tell his sob story to a shanty full of Indians in a New Delhi Slum

Edit to add some +++: again, Congrats to Andy! super stoked you won and looking forward to seeing you ripping around the mountain this season.

[misfit toy]

And again Andy congrats, Who's the girl & don't pee in the pool!

[dumpy]

Yeah, the chic that won made it to the World Cup by being privileged only. All rich chics reach elite levels of competition, Yup, it's as guaranteed as a sixteenth birthday party. Actually, it's then only way to accomplish anything.

And Andy has never busted his ass or scraped by to spend a season in the mountains. Living in a van when you're wheelchair bound is super cushy. So is serving your country in Iraq. Shit, don't UK forces stop every afternoon for tea and crumpets?

That guy can eat a dick. Was he one of the competitors in this or just some blow hard who is now stalking people who support those that won?
