... but this is a classic example of the "dumbing down" of ski technique; hatched by the terrain parks and rockered wide boards. 
Or is this a realization/manifestation of a desire of ski resorts for years; making the sport of skiing more popular and available to the average public and increasing ski days per year.

I aspire to more from my skiing.
DITTO! In my case the emphasis is definitely on the aspire.
The thing that did bother me (and it's prevalent) was Liam's description of their exit from the trees onto a groomed slope with no consideration or awareness of who might be coming down that groomed slope.  It's become very dangerous to ski the edges of many trails.
