Replying to Do snowboarders look at skiers the way skateboarders look at rollerbladers?

Been pondering on this a little bit. I personally don’t mind fruit booters, but in general it seems that they are looked down on. How can skiing be perceived as so cool but roller blading as so lame? Is it just my point of view and because I love skiing I think it has a better stigma then roller blading? Is skiing not perceived as cool from the general public the same way roller blading is perceived as not cool?
