Talk:Twin-tip ski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] NPOV

I've nominated this article to be checked for neutrality. It appears to be highly biased against snowboarders and non-newschool skiers.

Recent sales trends in both the ski and snowboard industries demonstrate that this is not a bias, but fact.

It's not biased because of facts about sales trends, and you're right, nothing is wrong with having preferences, however the article is written from the view of someone who views skiing, and specifically newschool, as better than the rest. While one may or may not agree that that is true, as an encyclopedic article, it shouldn't be biased at all. Searles2sels (PJ) 19:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

also, if in fact those sales trends are true, show a source. Searles2sels (PJ) 19:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

In Tahoe definitely more people are headed back to skiing. It is in part due to twin tip skies and because snowboards are less functional in the backcountry. I will call Heavenly in the AM and see if they have some stats. Personally I hate twin tip skies because you cant jam the tails into the snow in the top of a couloir on the switch from ascent to descent. But, I do have twin tip skis because the hottest skis are twin tips.SierraSkier 06:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
