Repeated for years by all the ski shop managers, you surely know this dejected statement: "Park skis, it's over, it does not sell anymore". So as an enthusiast, to hear that my sport is doomed to a certain death, it raises questions.

of young skiers are honing their service skills on and off the hill, and what is a fine James Beard ranked establishment without foraged greens, a 1 000 bottle wine list and of course the dynamic bow of the Maître D’ as they leave your table after topping off your Chateau Mouton-Rothschild.
