Replying to Snowboards in pow/ trees?

parkerhouse:
yeah so i was skiing with my friends on saturday(they snowboard) at mt. snow, and we take a couple runs through the trees.  Both of these kids have never skied in snow more than four inches deep but are proficient on the mountain anyway.   Mt. snow got about a foot the night before we went out so the conditions were sick as hell to say the least.  My one friend loves trees now and loves snowboarding in general.  He tends to go with the flow and do whatever, just have fun(snowboarding for three seasons, he's already really good), but the other one, who has been snowboarding since he was 10 or so (he's almost 17) claimed to "hate trees" on a snowboard, and claims that snowboarding is infinately harder in pow and through the trees (he's never skied).  He got stuck one time and pretty much cried about it.  Now, i ask you NS, was my friend just being a bitch or is it really that difficult on a snowboard.  Oh and we ended up conceding to his complaints and skied park for the afternoon which turned out fun anyway but i feel like we wasted good conditions as the park was ungroomed.  And jimmy if you read this i'm not criticizing you, just wondering.
