Replying to Why is skiing alway behind the snowboard trend?

it almost seems too obvious to be coincidence.
but, you can always figure out what next years cover shots on ski mags will be by looking at this years snowboard mags.
my examples are, a few years back (around community project) handplants on terrain park barrels were the popular snowboard trick, then the next year it was skiings "new" trick.
last year snowboarders started goin crazy with wall rides. Now, skiing seems to be taking the trend.
Does skiing lack creativity?

I will say that the hand drag is a pretty sick skier created trick.
