Now i was wondering to myself. Having such dedicated ns users. Do you think skiers have more heart than  snowboarders. Now, you may ask, "what do you mean by heart?" I mean the same passion and drive. the determination. And having ns makes skiers look more like a family. opinions?? and please. NO HATE!!!!

i have yet to meet a boarder at my school that wants to ski every chance they get.  i ski every day i can even if its raining.  the kids at my school wait for perfect conditions to go out.

no it is not true.  how can you base a whole sport off of a couple group of people?  fuck they have the same amount of passion as we do, there is no discussion on this.

This thread is up there with all the other stupid threads.

Of course snowboarders are just as passionate. If you don't have a group of passionate dedicated people a sport would never take off.

i agree also skiers tend to know their sport more than snowboarders from personal experience all my snowboarding friends cant name more than 2 pro snowboarders and dont know what their grinds are called. also my snowboard friends tell me that all twintip skiers seem to act as if were all part of some big inside joke.

It's probably because snowboarding, until recently, has been much more popular than skiing. It attracted tons of goobers that aren't dedicated. There are still many snowboarders who are just as dedicated and passionate about their sport than skiers.

I fucked up my last sentence. I meant to say:

Absolutely!

A passion is a passion. It does not matter if you are telemark skiing, alpine skiing, or snowboarding. It is about being in the mountains, surrounded by the trees, the peaks, and the o so beatuiful snow.

it is the experience, learning new things, skiing for your first time, first time getting first chair, taking those tree  runs, and skiing/snowboarding through the fresh pow.

Anyone who has had the feeling and has the passion that all of us on ns have felt. They are the ones with heart.

I dont know if it matters, but this is a skiing website and most of us LOVE skiing.  Now as to this question, some snowboarders are fucking lazy asses.  BUT some skiers are just as lazy as the snowboarders.  You cant necessarily say that either has more or less heart because its like saying that people playing soccer have more heart than people playing basketball.  Sure, you could say that YOU as a skier have more heart than Steve the snowboarder and that's fine, but this is too big of a generalization to truly find a just answer.
