GrandThingsI saw it on the alt.skiers IG account but it was a story and not there anymore. Might hardpost later tho
People seemed to have a problem with it? I was a little confused
ElizabethWarrenI was really confused why people seemed pissed off by that video too

TrickyDick470First off if you are hiking close to features you best be ready to get out of the way, secondly I get stoked on an awesome trick regardless of who is throwing it (skier or boarder) so I don't understand the disgruntling

pinkcamo1000I see vids of boarders doing flips and shit at the bonezone all the time, seems like a double standard
Schoessbut bro, they're boarders bro.
pinkcamo1000honestly if they had their way they would just ban us from there. Some of the complaints they make about skiers are legit, like how skiers all tend to hit the same feature over and over and fuck it up and then don't shovel. I witnessed that a bunch of times. But complaining about guys boosting cork 7s is clearly just some aggro b-town boarder shit. They don't want us to be a part of their special community. They should just proclaim the bonezone to be a snowboarding "safe space" so they don't have to suffer through watching people have fun on skis.
SchoessI've been riding at Trollhaugen for years and have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours riding with snowboarders from first day to legendary pros and almost none of them were anything other than really nice, fun to be around and supportive of whatever you were doing. We have elitism in skiing too and it's wack as fuck. I'm not cooler than you because of rules me and my friends made up in our heads that no one else is aware of. Gatekeeping generally comes from a place of insecurity and says a lot more about them than you.
pinkcamo1000all very true. I got nothing against snowboarders I think snowboarding is sick af, but I definitely got some mega gatekeepy vibes from them at brighton sometimes.

broto^ well said. Also, on the topic of gatekeeping. You can ski at every resort in the Wasatch. You cannot snowboard at every resort in the Wasatch. It makes sense that boarders see Brighton as "their" resort, when the management there has embraced boarders in a way not seen at the other local resorts. They also encourage ski bikers, snow skaters, etc to use their lifts which is pretty unique.

h.robargebecause mans wasn't on Vishnu's or jetskis, spun over 7, got corked, and entered the bonezone snowboarders' sacred impenetrable personal space (minus one million Core social credit)
g_lectrolytehey I saw a clip this year of someone just hucking the piss out of a cork 7 at Brighton’s Bone Zone, all while almost taking out a bunch of people hiking. Does anyone have the vid/know where I can find it?
SchoessYeah I think it's pretty wack snowboards arn't allowed at Alta honestly.
Film.Is there still a rivalry between skiers and snowboarders in Utah?
I know it's a little more heated in Utah because of the Alta situation but I never see any boarders at Park City, why is this?
