i dont think this is a repost but i could be wrong, my bad in advance if it is. anyways.....

i definitely dont hate snowboarders, but i do hate when people whip down the safety bar and like auclair said "that scary vertical part almost racks you"

what do u guys think?

"2) Neck warmers are like sweat pants: functional, comfortable, but not quite socially acceptable. "If it's that cold that I would need one, I go inside," says JP."

Apparently he forgets his east coast roots and -30 degree windy days.

oh shit i dont know how i didnt post this the first time but as for the neck warmer thing there were 2x when i wore them last year and i didnt give a fuck how it looked i tucked it under my collar of my jacket and that made my neck and lower face nice and warm and cozy instead of freezing cold so w/e id rather be warm and look a little bad then freezing my ass off

I guess I don't like anything on his list (except Nature Valley granola bars), but some of those points are a little weak.

Nature Valley Granola Bars
LOATH LEVEL: 4
God bless the people at Nature Valley for sponsoring competitions like the U.S. Freeskiing Open and giving away thousands of free granola bars at ski resorts every year. But let me ask you straight up: have you ever actually consumed a Nature Valley Granola Bar? The recipe is two parts cardboard, one part gravel, and one part sawdust. If you're ever forced to spend a freezing night outdoors, use them as bone-dry fuel for your fire or crumbly projectiles to kill small game.

that is soooo true

i agree with everything but the neckwarmers. In the east when its below zero with 30mph winds that is the only thing that keeps my face warm.

Granola bar thing is way off.  They give em out for free at the base area at Keystone.. I've probably had more Nature Valley granola bars for lunch than anything else.  And also, if a cardboard company sponsored skiing events as much as Nature Valley, I'd eat that too.

I think articles like that should be on the list of things we loathe. That was pretty much a lame, ignorant attempt to make a joke not an article. and nature valley bars are dank.

Well I didnt care much for the little article, but ticket prices and ESPECIALLY the safety bar thing was pretty spot on.

snowboarding is soooooo much better than skiing!

skiers suck with their spandex and pants in their boots!

nature valley granola bars are the reason why i go to breck, keystone and vail every winter.  They gave so many free ones away and I usually stock up on them until I have enough to last me the season.  There a perfect snack on the chair lift.
