Replying to copying snowboarders?

I'm sure there's been a lot of talk about this but I really want to know YOUR opinion on it. I watched YOZ (again) and there was this pro snowboarder-chick and to the question 'What do you think about the progress in the freeskiing world?' she answered 'I know they're trying to copy us, they're not perfect, but in a couple of years ...'blah blah I don't remember.
I can see the influence of snowboarding, but in the last two or three years skiing has gotten totally independent, many of the tricks thrown on skis are impossible on the board and so on.
so...Do you think we're still 'copying' the boarders?
