I say ask permission, shoot some video and post it.  Who knows they may get curious and come visit the site.  Couldn't hurt!

The Father of one of the skiers in question (a girl I consider the best kid skier on the mountain...free skiing) is a member here.  And even with permission...I don't think a minor can give permission, so all video either feeds a parent's vanity...or depending on the response, jabs at a parent's inflated referential ego.  Neither is a good outcome.  Though, maybe I'll soften on that stance...what do you think Greentrails and xcskier: A Vid of the two girls and shorty on Grizzly? It looks cooler in person.

My buddy Luke (who learned to ski at 16, spent 5 years living in Tahoe as a full time instructor and then two in Taos, and one in the French Alps) marveled at these kids this weekend:  Not that these kids did something unusual or were 'off the charts talented', but he pointed out they were already using skills that took him years to really understand, and he noted the benefits of youth coupled with opportunity and the perfect socio-cultural environment for learning. It's like language immersion as a kid I suppose.
