Just because I can be an asshole doesn't mean I should condone either my behavior or someone elses. The 'facts of life' are obvious. Step up or shut up.

What is the RVR.
I agree there are many very accomplished women out there. Who do not make a living from Skiing or mountaineering.
Caroline Does make her living? as a professional Skier / Back Country Skier?
I had never heard of her until this thread was started. It appears she has been fairly successful for quite some time.
I guess her latest accomplishments are something that sets her apart? Keeps her relevant in an industry with a good bit of competition.
Regardless the subject of the thread = Unacceptable to cross that line between open negativity on the internet and tracking someone down to take it further.
KLAR nailed it some time ago.Own your fail. ~Jer~

Agreed, but so what? Honestly, good average pow skiing is pretty damn fun and IMO the biggest difference between those "getting after it" or not has to do with commitment, like waking up before sunrise and getting out to the trailhead early. That kind of stuff. Maybe that's the new "rad" and maybe that's a good thing?
Also, if someone isn't into the social media thing that's cool, but bitching about obvious reality is kinda lame.Last edited by TahoeJ; 04-25-2017 at 05:22 PM.

What's more impressive: Gleich skinning for multiple 3,000' vert runs every day in the Wasatch or Dyer dropping steep lines from a heli?

I would hope there is an audience for both. And would depend on the product. Filming editing the talent and all that stuff.
That said a women doing a bunch of technical BC lines is less common than Heli lines at this point.
Now that I have learned who Gleich is. I better not read about her dying in a fucking avalanche.Own your fail. ~Jer~

No offense to either Gleich or Dyer, but I've met them both, politely complimented them on their skiing videos, etc and both had the personalities of a wooden block.

I try to post things as if I were saying to someone in person.
When you post something about someone. Do you assume they will read what you type?
Would you say it their face?
Do you care how you might make someone feel?
Maybe it's just me.Own your fail. ~Jer~

I'm curious what the context was and what your expectations were when you met them? I've met plenty of people (ski industry, music industry, scientific community) that didn't meet my expectations at the time, but then I realized later that I had unrealistic expectations given the context.
I had all kinds of preconceived notions about Lynsey that were rendered totally irrelevant when she stayed at my house during the filming of "Pretty Faces". She was nice, fun, a respectful guest, and her dedication to her project was very apparent. More power to her!
If I had to judge you on your post above I'd probably conclude you were an asshole, but when we skied and worked together for a few days a while back I did not get that impression at all. "No offense... but you've got the personality of a wooden block?" How would you expect that to be received if not offense?Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

Hop, I 100% agree with the context issue.
I'm not pretending to be an expert on message board psychology.
However, I'd probably say that lady skiers have to craft/ create an extra layer of defense against people they come in contact with.
I just think it's proof that they have to put up with extra bullshit.
Every pro skier dude I've met and high fived has been stoked on life and friendly. Ladies... probably afraid they're getting hit on.

Bullshitters run the world. Just because some of us can see through a happily-served 9-layered cake of bullshit doesn't mean we hate this sex or that sex. Each sex can serve it with a smile.
Bullshitters of any kind deserve an eye-roll at most though, but I don't get worked up by them (anymore). Not worth the energy. And stalking is bat-shit crazy, even what I just posted is a bit much I admit.
