No apologies needed!! My kids and I are brand spanking new to competitive snow sports. There are so many opinions.. It's easy to get caught up in the minutia of opinionated written details and end, forgetting to include, that we are all part of the same group who love the snow.
I am hoping that groups like Jeni and the ISSA, NASTAR - www.paskiandride.com are a sign that some newer snow groups are making sure that being on the snow is fun. There will always be the fiercly competitive, (my way - or the highway) groups that seem to me, to be "old school" cough USSA cough
My heart breaks for our local ski club that excludes family members from an inter-club fun race. If I could, I would do more.....
BTW - when the ISSA posts their schedule - I will adding their events to our calendar too!!
