ok here's the explanation;

when a snowboarder is learning to turn, it's mentally hard for them to do it. skiers on the other hand, have it easy cuz it's all about shifting weight from one leg to another. for a snowboarder to turn, it's all about rotating their body to the point when the board turns by itself. the hardest thing when first getting out on a snowboard is over coming the fear of catching your edges and bashing your head on the ground.

PS im a snowboard instructor so i know what im talking about

This is also a gaylord thread. Snowboarding is way cooler than skiing, just get used to it. The best pro snowboarder will rape the best pro skier anywhere.

You aren't supposed to 'go around them' you wait your turn...if their sittin there they should be wanting to hit, if not they should be somewhere else...maybe it's your park ettiquette that makes it seem like he's the ass.

I've seen a ton of shitty park ettiquette lately and sadly its mostly from the skiers.

snowboarding has been around (in the park) a lot longer than skiing. Pro snowboarders are better than pro skiers in most cases, especially pipe. Get used to it for now.

He said 'anywhere', look above... But still, I dont think they can hang with skiers anymore, maybe a couple years ago... And I think it is also evident by the amount of snowboard hunnies that I have been gettting recently. :)

If the snowboarders are sitting down you should go around them. If they wanted to hit the jump they'd be standing ready to go off. Boarders at my hill sit above the jumps and have snowball fights.

k kid that was saying that skiers arn't cooler and don't show the best show up are best(except for bc, but they arnt that far behind) Is a fucking ignorent retared, Snowboarders have better varions in tricks on and off rails, they all do cooler stuff in the pipe and get higher then the best of are sport(With an exception of Dave.C) there tricks have WAY more style and there is alot more, so saying that they arnt better then us is just making sound like a fucking retard

Detective knows what he's talking about.

If you see snowboarders side slipping... you are probably on the bunny hill. Get to the steeps if you want to avoid snowboarders.

I think your trippin....

I have snowboarder friends that agree, when both go big off the same shit, a skier looks way sicker..

And if you guys would stop caring about style, what color goggles you should have, and concentrate more on skiing, you might be able to show some snowboarders up...

the only place snowboarders are on top right now is on rails, and in the pipe, but id like to see ANY snowboarder goto alaska and hang with seth morrison or one of those guys, as far as big mountain gos, skiers are king. and we all know big mountain takes a shitload more balls and skill than park.

They all slide down the walls of the pipe too, and make it all nice and icey! There are way more good skiers out in a park than good boarders in my opinion.

hey all you snowboard haters, screw you. at the mt. i work at, all the snowboarders give out mad respect to the skiers that have the balls to throw down with em. every time one of the boarder instructors makes a comment jokinly about skiers, the guy in charge of all the snowboarders will chew him out. sometimes i think alot of the hate btwn skiers and snowboarders is caused by us. even the joking comments are overheard and percieved as hate, even though its a joke, and leads to hate

Watch a snowboard video... from 1997 even, it is a whole lot more progressive than a ski video. North Park, a snowboard film from '97, features a snowboarder sliding a football goalpost... bs boardslide. If they were doing that in '97, then yeah, they are definitely better, we've still got a loooong way to go. Wacth a snowboard flick from this year, like Afterbang, or some such, and you'll see what I mean.

skiing looks better..... everyone of my snowboarder friends agree and everyone of my skiier friends agree... my snowboarder frends cant sit thrugh a whole snowboard flick yet they can ask to borrow strike 3 from me once they watch it at my house.... i know so many snowboarders that want to switch to skiing but there afraid they have to start a square 1 again.... so they dont switch over they just ride my skis once or twice a week

Snowboarders are who we basically copy... they were taking their park tricks to the backcountry way before skiers were doing it... I still think that skiing looks better, and has better tricks... style and grabs are similar. But skiers can go biger faster and steeper. Also fakie ski tricks are harder and cooler than fakie snowboard tricks.

honestly the OP for this thread needs to open his eyes and get a clue...

Yes snowboarders sideslip in powder...

Guess what? So do skiers, especially idiot monkeys on fat skis that cannot buy a turn despite their 130mm+ skis. On steep terrain (were else would you be in powder?) I see just as many XXXXL baggy pant wearing fat twin tip skiers side slipping as I do boarders -

And it ruins the snow just the same -

Fat skis make marginal skiers able tp access terrain they cannot handle -

The worst part is when i see these idiots - "side surfing" - thinking their side slipping is cool -

I have see donks sideslip down 1000-vert 45-degree chutes on fat skis

So don't hate the gear - hate the rider/skier doing it

this is so true.  It took me a long time to learn how to snowboard really well because it's all about getting the right motions and balence down, and that takes alot of time.  I started skiing last season and after 2 days I was almost as good at skiing as I was at snowboarding. 

But of course that doesn't take away from the fact that there's a huge ammount of gappers who snowboard with probly no desire to get better, they just want to look cool.

yah
pretty sure the only ones that do that are the ones that suck.
and as far as sitting down goes, its really tiring on your legs to stand up not moving on a snowboard for over 20 seconds. just go around everyone. they dont care. the reason theyre sitting is because either they suck and wont hit somethihng(so go sround them) or theyre tired and will hit in when the get energy back(which will take a little bit so go around them).

Some boarders are great guys. Some, however, at my mountain at least, just sit in the park all day right in the center of a run-in to a jump and just stay there for like 10 mins daydreaming. If they would just get out of the way and move off to the side, everything would be so much better.

You gotta give respect to get it, and if you do that, they will respect you if you can throw down your shit just as much as they respect their own buddies.

At my mountain, if a skier can throw down a 7 vs a snowboarder that can throw down a 7, the skier will get more respect. Considering at my mountain like 90 - 95% of heads in the park are boarders, and talented skiers are just harder to come by in my area.
