Replying to snowboarders turned skiers

How many cases of this have you heard of? And what are their reasons for reverting? I see or hear of it a few times a year in different places. I think it's cool, but for the most part they aren't that good when coming back... though some still stick with skiing.

The thing that sucks is that the mainstream crowd (i.e. not in the mountain world) thinks differently. People at my work know that i'm into 'extreme' sports and always ask if im going snowboarding, even though some of them have seen videos of me skiing... they say, well you look like a snowboarder. then i have to explain the whole movement to them... how skiers have answered to the snowboarding progression and are well on the way to rising above. An entire halfpipe run is the last element that our cousins still have on us... but not for long.

thank you snowboarders for inspiring us to achieve what some before thought was impossible. making you curious and maybe even jealous enough about the freedom and style of skiing to trade in your equipment has been fun thus far, and will continue to be.

hail to the mighty gods of snow...
