Me most of my friends board so I usually one of the only skiers but its not bad if anything it adds more creativity to my run cause I see what there doing and I kinda wanna try it on skis and they see me do something and they want to do it on a board its pretty sick

i have two more skier friends this year, but last year i was practically the only one. its not terrible but it sucks waiting at the top fro them to strap up. us skiers, were so used to standing up, skiing down the off ramp, and going down the trail.

I'm originally a snowboarder who rode with a ton of skiers last year, so I taught myself how to ski mid-season last year. Now I just want to ski all the time, and a lot of my friends are borders.

It's me and a couple boarders, but they respect that I can shred rails and same with them. Skiing with boarders = more compliments (that's sick, insane, etc.) Skiing with skiers = more fun IMO. And having a couple boarders makes it fun to do a little switcheroo every once in a while.

About 50/50...  Us skiers usually leave the boarders behind about halfway through the day though.

Last year I was one of the only skiers, but a lot of my friends switched to skiing this year.

every snowboarder i ride with is strapped in in literally under 10 seconds, every single time. they dont sit down either. you're not cool for leaving your friends, if it takes that long just hike a rail or some shit while you're waiting.

Almost always skiing with boarders, blows, not only is it waiting for them to get into the bindings, its also listening to why "these" bindings don't work worse than the last bindings that didn't work.
Also sucks cause I'm just starting to head into the park more and I've really got no one to work on shit with.

I sometimes ride with 2 of my friends, both good boarders. But mostly I ski with park rats... Honestly would rather ride trees with boarders. Recently I have been riding with the skiers that own and work at one of the local shops, so I agree that when you ride with people who like the same stuff you do, and are at your level or better, you progress so much faster.

all snowboarders in my crew but i dont mind because they always try to compare themselves to eachother and say "i'm better at ___________" and i would hate to always be competing with another skier

its pretty funny going skiing on pow days with snowboarders because they rely on skiers quite heavy to break trail for traverses and on the flat. they are so useless without us. imagine having to boot pack out of the flats on a pow days in waist deep instead of traversing... ugh
