Good point Ryan, I’ll do what I can to take the whine level down a notch or two! Thanks, Lou

I just got tired of reading all the whining on Ttips and TGR, thought I’d head over here and to my disappointment I found more whining! The article title tells it all, gear reviews, sugar… It didn’t say read this creative short story on skiing. How about everyone chill on the whining… focus on what’s important to you, and get out there and go skiing!!!

Good points you guys and well taken. This was only Nick’s second time doing a WildSnow post, and I probably should have done a better job of editing. On the other hand, letting it go over the line is probably good, as this makes it very obvious where the line is and does nothing but improve WildSnow, so thanks everyone, including Nick for getting involved and being willing to take some risk with your writing.

I just haveto say that i also dont mind the occasional plug. But this was just too much. Really, look at what you wrote.
” The new BCA Arsenal EXT Shovel did the job nicely, revealing the failure to be at the depth hoar lying on the ground. It has an ovalized shaft which makes extending the shovel to full length lightning quick as there is no need to align the buttons in the holes. The Arsenal EXT comes with the Companion Blade, which is square and flat, perfect for pit work. It does the job of cutting smooth pit walls better than my older, more rounded shovel blades.” Ok are you trying to tell me about the depth hoar or about the BCA shovel that S Edgerly probably gave you? Which is it?
I love the sight, but dont need to be force fed product reviews. It is bad writing as well as cheesy.
On another note, Still charging on my FT 12′s with no pre releases, and yes, i paid for these and have no affiliation.
