Maybe in the eyes of the general public. But on any given day at keystone it's not surprising to see more skiers than snowboarders in the park.

you can snowmobile in so many more places than you can ski, and its probably one of the more impressive looking things to someone uneducated about any of the sports, and it probably draws in some people who are normally into motocross and the like.

Not a simple random sample.

Skiing is actually growing while snowboarding is contracting.

"Sales of snowboards and snowboard equipment have slipped 21% over the last four years, while sales of skis have climbed 3% in the same period, according to SnowSports Industries America..."

Also relevant: "Since 2004, however, snowboard participation has dropped 22% while skiing has climbed 16%, according to the trade group."
