theabortionatorA snowboard said hi to me at the top of the psrk once and I told him to fuck off. Dude seemed like he wanted to get hit. Didn't wanna lose my pass though. The hell do snowboarders think they're doin
HSmithI live with a snowboarder. Maybe you can help with something I have been going through lately. I went out into the living room after a long nights rest, and was greeted with a friendly good morning. He continued on by asking, "how I was doing this morning?"...
I'm not sure what to think at this point. Is this a good interaction? Does he want to use my extra plank to end my life? Maybe I'm just tripping.
As I type this message I keep looking over my shoulders. Only god knows what that crazy bastard is thinking about. (Probably nose pressing a jersey barrier) It's a cold world.
r00kieMost snowboarders are in their 30s now it seems. Skiing has definitely picked up the next generation.

Farmville420I’ve noticed this as well. Wonder why?

beck_shredzwhat are some good or bad interactions you've had with snowboarders?
bootspacethey’re all pretty cool at my local, but like someone less said they’re all like 25-35 years old and do hard drugs
theabortionatorI mean it's still a thing, but it's not as big compared to skiing at the base line anymore.
Snowboarding was the counter culture. It was the sketchy dude you let show up to the BBQ sometimes. It had some jokes, maybe would do a flip off the balcony, but inevitably get too drunk and disrespect your grandmother.
They built up the parks to give them a place to go, to get the fuck away from skiers trying to do ski things. Skating was back on an uptick, winter xgames showed up in 97 as did some other contests. I feel like Out Cold was pretty late 2001 ish, but even that was during the big wave/last big push of snowboarding. that was a major ish movie too.
With televised events, movies, friggin Johnny Tsunami squashing the beef in 99 it was a growing thing. I remember at the local when I first got a real board in 98 I think there was only 1 other snowboarder and 2 older dudes that did both sometimes. Tbar lift with a steep headwall, no grooming. It was what other places experience a couple years before I think. We were small town late but still it was a huge wave. 2001-2005 everybody was getting into it. I remember a season where I knew 10+ friends(at a small friggin mtn) all on their start falling leaf mode down the hill.
Skiing and snowboarding kinda hashed out the beef over the years, skiing progressed a ton. Especially 2005-2010. You had to snowboard to ride park at one point. I mean some parks were legit snowboard only, but I mean skiing wasn't that accepted. That's why this place was born. You saw people with twin tips and it was a novelty almost. Now they're both related but also independent. People can grow up skiing and then move into park and kill it. There isn't a weird push to need to snowboard.
That said, it's cool when people dabble in both. My buddy that's our park sup now and living with me up at Crystal just posted an edit doing a front 4 off a flat tube. Didn't know he could do it. Idk, I know a lot of dual rippers. It's pretty sick.
Was hoping to get boots this year, but I fucked up my leg and had medical bills and am too broke to do it. I want to asap though. I'm prolly never gonna be decent at jumps again, but I like the feel of trying to spin on and off rails, be a bit of a kook on the smaller features.
I think skiing is similar to rollerblading in one way at least. It used to be hated on, but now you see a rollerblader at the park, everyone has mad respect. The park is just a place, do whatever. If you ski or board it doesn't matter, if you're a kook you're a kook, if you're cool you're cool. Most people ride with a mixed crew.
That was way too many words for this, apologies to anyone that read all that.

weatcoastI like riding with snowboarders because I’m always on the same pace with em. I always gotta buckle my boots back up when I get off the chair and they gotta strap into their bindings.
PsychicMigrationIt’s fun to let them know they’re inferior as I rip by in the flats. I definitely tend to meet a lot more boarders doing hard drugs at mountains and getting way to fucked especially in the 28-35 age bracket. Older and younger guys are pretty chill.
HSmithWhy are your boots so tight? Let the blood flow bro
weatcoastSo I can have maximum control over my skis
JITYLoose boots are more fun
better for butters and shit
BingPowyea 100% BROSKI, I always see the boarders (only in the age range of 28-35(I ask before assuming)) shooting up on the chair
GET THESE BOARDERS OFF 'ER LAND

JITYR/skiing typa thread
HSmithTrust when I say I get you. My feet have been a constant battle my whole life. Lately, I've been closer to the "two finger pressure" rule (with the exception of ankle buckle (palm pressure)). I can say I've noticed a decrease in pain and potentially an improvement in my skiing. All of this said, I am for damn sure no expert. Mainly running with my intuition. (not liners ;) )
JITYI have never in my life seen a snowboarder who isn’t addicted to meth
theabortionatorSnowboarding is a gateway sport for sure
beck_shredzor for drugs according to
the comments above ^
Farmville420I’ve noticed this as well. Wonder why?
