Skiing isn't cool

Well I guess I'm a little late getting the memo, but apparently we must thank snowboarders for inventing freestyle. We also apparently can't do presses or butters as stylish as them either. Be sure to shake the hand of every snowboarder you see and let them fuck your chick this winter to pay homage. http://unofficialnetworks.com/2012/07/top-8-reasons-snowboarding-cooler-skiing-pizza

Snowboarding is cooler than skiing, why everybody has a problem with that being true?

everything is cool, nothing is cool. Wtf, "cool" is a man made concept, it's nothing more that a matter of opinion. What's cool to some people will always be lame to someone else. Just find your crowd and forget about meaningless labels.

I get what you're saying, but I wish that I could be like the cool kids, 'cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in, I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the coooool kids. They see me skiing in a straight line, that's not really their style, and they all got the same heartbeat, but mine is falling behind. Nothing in this park could ever bring them down. Yeah, they're invincible, and I'm just in the in the background.

Snowboarders all wish they skiied once they get old your upper body takes a beating if you go hard on a snowboard and falls all hurt like a bitch at speed. Im good at both skiing is 10x better in general just because you can do so much more on legit terrain and have much more control but honestly on a crappy mountain cruising groomers I prefer the board.

Well, I think skiing looks WAAAAY cooler. Snowboarding looks alright, butters are sick AF, but really every other aspect is way better looking imo

snowboarders didn't invent freestyle. I would give them credit for parks though. and side slipping chutes...

IMO, watching snowboarders hit street is usually cooler and more creative than skiing

on jumps and in slopestyle, however, I find snowboarding dull as a piece of wood. every inverted trick is called a "cork", and it's usually accompanied by some indistinguishable two handed grab.

pipe doesn't grab my attention in either sport. sure is fun though

Already donated a few bucks earlier today and I'm no longer in the charitable spirit.. so this is about the only only thing i'll give them credit for.

We had a vicious gang of ski bladers at steamboat when I lived there. I was always secretly jealous and wanted in. I once saw someone get initiated into their crew.. it was some tough shit and hard to watch

I snowboarded before I skied and still watch x games and such...and I still can't tell the difference between 90% of the grabs. Skiing has a huge variation of grabs that look great. I mean, cmon you get pull a Japan on a snowboard

I'd agree with the statement that snowboard boots are more comfortable.

If you're skiing (or doing anything) because it's cool you should probably reevaluate your life.

Also who cares who did what first especially when you had no part in it

I LOVE skiing but for some reason I think Skateboarding will always be cooler than both skiing and snowboarding just as sports,

skaters a way cooler than park rats, all the skiers i know are dicks and all the skaters i know are the coolest doods out there
