uh huh,

Given Josh's choice of skis, inclination to use rotary movements in tight places, fairly outspoken posting nature, lack of humility...just how long do you think he'd last over on Harald's forums??? 

I like Josh's posts, Though, I do chafe at his often use of self aggrandizement and his general lack of civil humility---but, I got to appreciate his no-holds barred honesty: Guess you can't one without the other.

 I like his skiing, too, (and his general promotion of all things Expert Northern Vermont!).

A few times, on Epic, he gave some pretty damn good skiers a little too much Sh*t, but they threw it back at him (and dropped in some serious Video to boot---the Blake Saunders exchanges on Epic being the most notable), but all in all, his comments to mediocre skiers who had some expert delusions were pretty spot on.  I know I personally would value Josh's comments on ski technique--but I don't have too many expert delusions  :D

As to killing Rogan and Dan Egan....hey, those guys have earned their stripes in the instructional world, and presently their relations are a big part Epic's present promotional success (or lack thereof)-So I guess I can understand why these would be sort of Sacred Cows, beyond reproach over there.   What Rogan Tree Skiing Video, btw???

Finally, you Josh was always, very complimentary of, and deferential towards Bob Barnes (who, by the way, can ski-his most recent crudology videos are pretty good stuff!  I am going to side with Josh and point out that BB looked a lot better than Dan Egan in those videos...btw, John Egan is really the Egan that rips)--I am surprised, BB didn't pull for you a little.  Maybe he did.

Who are the 'mods' and decision makers over on Epic???
