Converter count: 0 Converted in the future : still 0 most snowboarders are too stubborn to give skiing ( the obvisouly better snow sport ) a try oh well more shredding for us =)

just last season i decided to buy some skis,  i skiied when i was young but started snowboarding when i was 13 now 25 i decided to buy some twin tips,  first day i was sking switch and spinning 180's and by day three on some rails and spinning 3's,  only got three days last year as i decided to ski late in the season,  i still snowboard though and depending upon who i go riding with i decide whether to ski or snowboard,  i plan on doing a lot more skiing next winter though

I skied from when i was 5 until 15, then converted to snowboarding. I'm 21 now and just got hooked up with some hand me down Public Enemies from my room mate so I'm pickin back up again this year. Its funny cuz I talk to a lot of skiers who like how snowboarders look on rails much better, but I know a lot of snowboarders who see skiers spinning one way on to a rail then spinning the opposite way out (more than a 270) and are mad jealous cuz i dont think there is any way a snowboarder can do that. I guess people always just want what they can't have but its legit though cuz it keeps everyone stoked on echother tryin different shit which just makes the scene better. fuck summer i need to ride

my mtn is just a bunch of copiers i swear
i dont want to claim or anything bt its the truth
i used to snowboard
i ended up hating it case the mtn sucked for it
so i switched to skiing..SKIING FTW!
and got descent really quick
as in landing spins and doing rails
i think since i did that about 5 kids the next year were skiing
and they all blow but hey they're skiing

Or maybe I'm not being "sooo artsy" and just being considerate of other people's decisions.

Most of my friends think skiing is sick, but they all have too much snowboarding gear, or don't want to take the time to learn to ski.
