Are Skiers As Pumped On Snowboarding As Snowboarders Are On Skiing?

Someone above me said it well.....True boarders are stoked on skiers (and vise versa) because we realize we're in it for the same reasons. It's the gapers and weekend warriors that perpetuate these "skier vs snowboarder" stereotypes.
With that being said, as a snowboarder, I thought the ski videos from last year were better than the snowboard videos (With the exception, of course, of That's It That's All) I was super stoked after Claim, Turbo, and Slamina.
I am pretty much the last snowboarder out of my crew since most of the kids have switched to skiing. I think the Japan grab is sooo sick on skies (Also, it's my favorite grab on snowboard) i'm totally jealous of your rail spinning out, and your ability to K-fed. And overall, I get just as stoked watching skiing as I do snowboarding.
Of course, I can still press 8 different ways on a rail. Be jealous.

Agreed. Snowboarders are far more innovative than most skiers, and skateboarding is where most snowboarders get their ideas from.

Skiing and boarding are both sick, but skating is still the gnarliest sport ever, some of the stuff they pull on a skateboard is just hideously ridiculous. And right up there with skating, is wake skating, theyre pulling the same tricks as skaters but going 20 miles an hour and boosting 12 feet into the air. Crazy, just wish I could pull some of that stuff.

I'm into skating and even wakeskating but I'm not sure 20 miles and hour and 12 feet into the air qualifies as the gnarliest thing ever.

Whatever guys, we all know that lawn bowling and whiffleball golf are the most epic sports.

I feel this is very true in the midwest at small resorts. The park will be packed full of riders and then you ski up and they will look at you like you are crazy and should be on the bunny hill. When the reality is that they just know nuthing about either of the sports and think that it is a snowboar park. But when you are skiing/riding with people that are familiar with the sports of the mountains they normally both getted stoked off of eachother and what not. In reality we really should just hate on snowbladers lol
