Almost every form of competition at every level has elements of offensive language and racism??? Are you kidding me? I've competed in hundreds of races, coached for 20+ years, played competitive golf, racket sports, old man baseball, rec basketball and volleyball, pond hockey. Have heard very little offensive language.

It's not all sports all levels. But being around youth/HS team sports probably the worst spectator behavior I've seen/heard.

Pico is the spot I learned to snowboard. It's well laid out and everything leads back to one main area (which is great if you have kids who separate). Large enough to stay entertained all day, small enough to find your way with ease, and slow enough to avoid extreme wait times.

That you want to pressure the kids to play instead of pressure the administration or fans to solve the problem is telling. We have plenty of those boss-sucking messages in society already today- ‘suck it up’- ‘grind it out’- ‘walk it off.’ You’re really not as invested in their wellness as you think if you’re not doing something to change the equation on the side with more power.

They know their worth and what they shouldn’t have to put up with. Coercing kids to accept less is immoral.

‘Debate,’ by the way, in the common parlance is any conflict of ideas or disagreement. It need not be a formal occasion with a debating society. Living human lives is about persuading others and ‘refusing to play is weakness’ is definitely too Cobra Kai for my taste…

I used to ski at Titus a lot! Currently have a pass to Bolton and love it. Bolton is bigger, but has a very similar vibe. You’ll enjoy it!
