WHO GOES BIGGER, SNOWBOARDERS OR SKIIERS.
I vote skiiers cause switch 9 over chads. But some disagree and say that in Robotron snowboarding movie somone switch 9's chads like 6 times.

Well, yes, skiers. But not because of Chads. There have been plenty of skiers and snowboarders that have gotten considerably bigger air than Chads.
Skiers go bigger because we can boost higher out of a pipe, we've dropped bigger cliffs. Skiers are sicker in the air, snowboarders are sicker on rails. The world record jump on a table, however is held by a snowboarder.

Let's all give this guy a HUGE round of applause for beating a dead horse!
Seriously, this has been discussed so many times before, and it doesn't really matter.
It's not on everyone's mind either... remember what assuming does....

ive never really seen a snowboarder go big in real life, all the snowboarders and skiers are kind of seperated in my park because most of the snowboarders stick to the rails and stuff, and most skiers like jumps better and theres a trail with jumps only and another trail in the park with lots of jib stuff

That question can easily be answered:
big mtn -> skiers (smoother lines, bigger cliffes, ...)
jumps -> snowboarders
park&pipe -> same level

because snowboarders are the sworn enemy of skiers.
no, but seriously, even though skiers and snowboarders are chill now, you can't deny that there isn't some competition. every skier wants skiers to go bigger.

i havent seen too many snowbaorders but id say skiing because ite easier too go faster and stay in control, making it easier too go big and be comfortable. Also the hip on June is crazy, Andreas Havoit or Thovex (i cant spell) world record air.

There's competition but there isn't any hard feelings or anything. At least I don't have any. Snowboarding is better than skiing in some ways and worse in others. They dominate us at rail stuff but we go way bigger in pipe. Who really cares though? They're the same thing. We're all out there to have fun and shred.

The double cork was never on Chad's. I don't care if you saw POP or not, it wasn't on Chad's.

yeah, it seems like at some mountians the two dont get along so much though. Some places i have gone skiers only really talked to other skiers and didnt watch what boarders were doing visa versa.

I don't know... skiers did the switch 1440 real clean this year and other sick things, but snowboarders have been on the court a lot longer than freeskiers. They go big both.

im tired of people saying boarders own rails. its stupid. i love snowboarding, dont get me wrong, but its stupid to say that. there is jst as much (probably more) that can be done on rails with skis than on a board. and besides, what kinda plank your on really means nothing. who is standing on it is whats importnat. either way, this is a very dumb question, i just thought id post cuase the whole boarders DOMINATING skiers on rails thing is stupid, and its a pet peeve of mine

Skiers go bigger in the pipe, a fact, because skiers can go faster. In park and rails is even, and BC jumps ive seen them both go fucking huge.
