Yeah, I'm pretty much with Matt and Erik on this.
On the one hand, it does suck to see your favorite areas become theme parks (Eldo, Smith) with long lines and bolts everywhere (not so much in Eldo with the bolts), but at the same time, it's hard to bitch because the popularity overall has been healthy for the sport, i.e. cheaper better gear, amazing progress, etc..
Total double edged sword kind of thing.
