...people assume you are a snowboarder?  I know I shouldn't, but I take it in offense sometimes.

LYSDEXIA-

is a specific learning disability that manifests primarily as a difficulty with written language, particularly with reading and spelling. It is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as deficiencies in intelligence, a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction.[1]

Are people assuming that you're a snowboarder while you're on your skis? Because that would really piss me off.

Valid question, but the fact that they don't know if you're skiing or snowboarding would qualify them as a gaper, IMO

I'd be stoked if I got that shirt,


I'd wear it while I was skiing. I want to get a shirt though that says the "skiing is for little fat kids"

No matter how many times I tell people I ski, they still ask if I went snowboarding over the weekend. I'll even come home from a day of skiing during the holidays with my skiboots either on my feet or slung over my shoulder and have my grandparents ask me how the snowboarding was. Yeah, that shit's annoying.

i AM  a snowboarder.

but the way i see it, snowboarders and skiers shouldnt hate on each other. we share the same love for snowshredding, winter, and having a good time whether youre on one plank or two. i can see where youre coming from though, nobody wants to be associated with shaun white.  but seriously, why cant we all just make fun of racers?

no hate on snowboarders but how would you like it if someone thought you were a skier when you are not?  or if someone called you a figure skater when you are a hockey player?

whatever man.  the skiing community needs fewer of those kind of people.  we don't want people to start skiing just cuz it's the cool thing to do.  we want people to ski cuz it's fun and it's something they truly love.

doing something just to be cool is the worst reason to do anything

dude happens all the time.. i snowboard(ive recently started skiing, but its not common knowledge and i am known to everyone as a snowboarder) and i get asked "how was skiing" or "are you going skiing" its irritating but they're just words, whenever I hear it I just reply yes actually the mountain was dope, or yeah I'm going up the mountain, wanna come? Obviously it gets irritating to some degree when it happens repetitively, but you gotta think that its not a big deal, I'm pretty sure that 90% of the people who say it have good intentions and aren't trying to piss you off. Also, do you really think you're THAT big of a deal for people to remember and really honestly care whether you ride two planks or one?

well i understand what youre saying...i skied for a really long time, and everyone i go to school with is always like "hey did you go skiing this weekend?" and it drives me crazy. im always like NO, i went snowboarding! and then i get the whole "ohh youre cool cause you SnOwBoArD" when its not like that at all, so yeah it frustrates me too i guess haha

i work as a SKI instructor in Switzerland. i was waiting in a lift line with my skis on, in my instructors uniform talking to a snowboard instructor from the same ski school, and the little kid she was teaching tugs on the bottom of my jacket and says: are you shaun white?! i am also about 6'4 and have brown hair! i can see how he was mistaken!
