FACT: You don't hear skilled skiers knocking snowboarders. That is all.
Case in point. I suck on snow (except with axe and crampons). I mean really suck. When I go skiing every seven years, I take a class and then hit the bunny slopes. So I'm always on a lift with a bunny slope snowboarder.
Now, while I suck as a skier, I CAN get off the lift! I've got that wired. Bunny slope snowboarders CAN'T get off the lift. Always the same. We get to the top of the ride and get off, right away, the boarder has a hold of me cause he's about to eat it. One guy sent me flying into the lift shack at Wrightwood one day.
So I learned to be proactive. When I'm on a lift with a boarder, soon as we step off the lift, the boarder gets a quick elbow in the ribs and launched AWAY from me.
Unless she's cute.

Thanks! Those are our tracks up in there, heading back up for a second lap on a different feature. Late May 2010 believe it or not. Good spring up this way.

I know this thread's a troll Jim, but some trolls just aren't worthy man. I can see the humor in poking fun at the wanker in neon pants sliding down the hill on his ass, but enough's enough!
And, as a matter of fact Jim, once the snow melts, I'm climbing (as I'm sure you are)! That's why I'm over here on supertopo to begin with! Sorry I get defensive, but many of my favorite backcountry partners are splitboarders. Glad you liked the pic, but no need to troll me about it. I'm sure you've got plenty of photos of yourself "shredding the gnar" or whatever you said. My point was that snowboarders get after it too. Do I detect some jealousy or projection in your post? Maybe.

It's starting to become a yearly ordeal.....the "Oh F##K" from behind you....the impact...
the tumble down the mountain pretzeled with the snowboarder....and then the accusations that it was my fault while I'm controlling that rare rage that only a day screwed by a snowboarder can bring.
This was my last encounter....I try to ski fast enough that I only have to deal with what is in front of me, but it was a crowded day and as I was weaving through the masses, that's when the "Fu##k", Bang and tumble happened.
I did my best "These are NOT the droids you are looking for" mind frack on "Jason" and got him to produce his license for my iphone while his buddy sat 30 feet away taunting me and calling me a pussy. It's funny how fast we can diagnose our own injuries...."you broke my f##king leg" were the first words out of my mouth....He cracked my fibula in the tumble....which I locked down in my ski boot and suffered with for the rest of the season. My back country partner didn't fare as well...he got clipped a month later, hit and run, and was sidelined with a tib/fib for the season. Along with my throbbing leg the next solid pain was in the square of my back where I was hit....I managed a smile as Jason and his buddy accused me of running into them!

Man that sucks Lokesh. Just like surfing, you are really blind on your heelside. I try to avoid boarder's heelsides. My sis in law ruined a new surfboard when she was riding heelside and another girl was riding heelside straight into each other.
Thank goodness for snowboards. As mentioned: width, sidecuts, terrain parks, half pipes, etc. have been huge positive impacts. Many new people on the slopes which keeps the business going.
I think it's funny how snowboarders are required to wear baggy clothes in boardercross. It's supposed to be counter-culture, and they have RULES to keep it that way LOL.
I love snowboarding, but I still ski more. I had a snowboarder try to diss skiing by saying "snowboarding is all about style, skiers just try to go fast or do a lot of flips, but snowboarders have style" Like that made it superior. I just say "yes, skiing is more about substance than style.".

Rokjox you called all snowboarders chicken shits then fold when one calls you the same. Go climb some more boys you don't know. Locker is dead on it's skill not method. Those lame learners, well we all learned at one time and I've been a lame skier and a lame boarder before. Cosmic we got way better smoke so why are you still skiing?

I love Disneyland! But this thread is about trashing snowboarders.
FACT: Snowboarders scrape the good snow off the the steep runs.
FACT: Skiers make artful moguls on steep runs.
FACT: Snowboarders are on their ass every single run.
I wouldn't be so bitter but I ski in SoCal where the conditions suk unless it has just snowed which it is going to do tonight.
Big dump tonight and tomorrow! On Thursday I shall be shredding on Baldy.
