Since competitive skiing is based on athleticism in the face of uncertain conditions, that sounds dreadfully boring.
- notahacker 6y agoFrom a consume-on-TV perspective it's the athleticism which makes it compelling, not random misfortunes with the snow conditions. Appreciate experienced skiiers might see more nuance to how skiiers approach subtle changes to the piste, but still doubt they'd find button clicking in the face of uncertain conditions equally compelling (or even more compelling than watching real skiiers on a suitably large raked and climate-controlled slope)
