Do you think the hate from snowboarders has increased, stayed the same, or decreased over the last couple of years or so? Just wondering what everybody's opinions are on snowboarders.

i'd say its definately decreasing. it kind of seems like both disciplines are equally rep'd when your at the top of the park, and theres always both skiers and snowboarders throwing down so yeah...

Ya its decreasing for sure..Some boarders came up to me in the season and were asking what skiing was like and how it looked pretty good..I was pretty happy.

Word, a lot of the hating has died down. I think that dual ski/snowboard movies are the next big thing.

Honestly, I've never had any hate on the hill from anyone, save a few patrollers who dont like people skiing backwards.

i dont think it matters. just ski if you like it. or snowboard if you like it. no need to worry about others.

people at my mountain are all chill with eachother.


There are douches at my school who go 4 times a season that say that skiing is gay. one of my friends used to say that I should snowboard but then me and my friend owned his ass on the mountain and now he thinks skiing is awesome.

people at my school say its dumb because they think we are just weekend warrior saloman carver gapers, but then I show them vids and they think its cool.

patrollers at crystal were giving me props and tips on my switch skiing and then one of them gave my buddy pat props on a misty 5 off a booter...
then again, most of them are jerks also.

Nz is like 10 years behind.

Apparently there's these 'gay skiiers that try to be snowboarders' these days.

To be honest, I love it.
They're so clueless, when you ski past them switch, just being cruisy, you really feel like you're giving everybody an orgasm.
