I snowboard. How do all of you feel about snowboarders? I ride park with free-skiers so I feel more closely related to a free-skier than non park riding snowboarders.

As much as people may not want to hear this they were the inspiration for early park skiing. Jason Leventhall (hope that's slept right) created the first twintip skis so he could ski the way he wanted to like he saw snowboarders riding is. Ride park

Park Skiing has of course changed and progressed independently for some time

True that. I think that park skiers and park snowboarders are more related to each other than they are to mountain riders.

I don't mind snowboarders at all. I make fun of snowboarders sometimes but it's just in fun. As far as park goes I don't really care. They do all seem to side slip down a steeper section of the park and make it all bumpy but it's not that big of deal.
