2. My Burton thinks so sometimes.
I liken it to torture when the conditions suck, and the powder goes to ice. flvegan can't carve on ice worth a shit.

5. Ice = evil
I've taken way too many spills because of ice patches on the hills.

3. It is torture for skiiers
especially when the boarders decide to lay down in the middle of the run.

All I can say is viva Alta where they don't allow boarding.

7. Now be careful
Alta does have the best snow in North America, and no boarders is a tradition thing.

I would actually like to learn to board, but it looks like a very painful experience.

And the higher you get on the mountain I have noticed the more considerate the boarders are. But I have pretty much tripped over them lower down.

8. I stand by my "fuck anywhere that bans snowboarding" statement.
The "fucking skiers" comment was a joke, as the :P would have indicated.

I started when I was 12, so I picked up on it pretty quickly. I never get to snowboard these days though, which is sad.

9. Yeah I knew it was a joke
I really wish I was good enough at skiing to be an instructor. That would a nice way to live for at least a few years.

10. I agree.
The world's most pointless sport. Dance on land where we can see you, ladies.
