just watching the 10 minutes of qualifiers that were shown of skiing slopestyle, and comparing it to the snowboard slopestyle made me realize how much better we are, the snowboarders did no good rail tricks, while the skiers are dominating

So if you go to expn.com and watch the three top snowboard slope runs, none of them ever spin on toa rail or even do a lipslide.
