Because in their eyes no one thinks skiing is cool.  They believe everyone thinks snowboarding is way cooler, so if they were to play skiing they would lose a lot of viewers.

haha I noticed the same thing today.
I think the commercial for the Winter Dew Tour is just as bad, it goes 3 or 4 shots of snowboarders, then one of a skier, then 3-4 boarder shots and then one of a skier and so on

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

it's a business, and it wouldn't be a good business decision to show skiing seeing as nobody really cares about it. They're not gay, they just don't care about skiing, so go watch another channel or deal with it.

It's not gay, it realizes there is a bigger crowd that wants to see snowboarding, so they show that.

Yeah I know a lot of people like that too.  Whatever, a few years from now and people will realize it isn't gay.  Pisses me off when people say that joke that goes who did you go skiing with last time?  Then they do the humping motion like they think a skier would with poles (like when pushing while skating, even though it's not really like that).  Then I tell them who I went with and they're like you're fucking gay.  Then I say, the only place where you went wrong with that joke was that I was going no poles.  Then they just shut up and they get all red in front of the twenty kids around us.  I just laugh and walk away, it's awesome.
