Oh, and do try not to sit under jumps eating chocolate when I'm coming down on my old-cool skis, scruffy.

i've had enough of them damn fool snowboarders thinking they are all pro doin 180 mute grabs, collecting snow on their butts above the inrun. That being said, I am friends with many good snowboarders, but i remain quite opposed to the run scrapers and crash kids (boarders that sit at the end of a jump for some reason after bailing) that the learning curve of snowboarding requires. End User- i think you need to get past the differences between boarders and skiers and realize that we both are just having fun riding. It doesn't matter so much how you get down, but more so THAT you are gettin down the hill, and enjoying it. I appreciate a good boarder- I love seeing that nice single track sweeping side to side across a groomed track or a thick path through some deep pow. The mountain and the park is open to all comers that can take them.
and back to rollerblades vs. rollerskates- i prefer rollerblading much more than rollerskating, but that is mainly because i grew up with them i think. I have tried to rollerskate, but i found it akward and that it took more energy to keep moving.
