Jealous of snowboarders??

I was thinking about this for a while, and it been bugging me. I always see like 4 snowboarders and I never see a snowboarder alone. I guess the sport attracts a large comraderie of some sort if that’s what you want to call it.
And then I’m like “man, I wish I had friends like that, people that you can shred with n shit”.
Either I’m jealous of snowboarders or I have no friends.

Maybe I’ll become a snowboarder

Actually in the early days of ns the whole point of this website was to reward the conformist kids who kept faithful to skiing and thought it was cool even though in the 90s it seemed like you werent cool unless you died your hair and bought a snowboard. Once pro skiers started throwing cork 9 blunts skiing pretty much proved itself to be even cooler than snowboarding and everybody who stuck with skiing was rewarded like fuck.
The problem of the hot dog skiing days was lack of style, or wacky/lame style. This whole website capitalized on the dream of getting good enough at skiing park to make the tool snowboarding boys and girls in high school who made fun of you for skiing kill themselves and list you in their suicide note as one of the reasons.

Once you have enough fun with the drama tho you realize that there are cool/good snowboarders with good style who see eye to eye with good skiers with good style. Drama is fun sometimes tho.
I personally dont think snowboarding is as attractive as skiing in any way tho. I still bathe in the warmth of knowing that skiers with good style look better than any other extreme sport with the exception of some skateboarders like brent atchley and jimmy lannon and luan

In short, op, im the opposite of jealous of snowboarders.
Skiing is simply the more capable sport. More style, more grab options, more rail ability, and the ability to look like an ignorant steezeball who lands perfectly without even trying or paying attention to what they are doing.

Snowboarders, even the good ones look so lame srs. They're hands flap all over the place, the shit they do in the park looks no where near as cool as what someone skilled on skis can do.

I remeber in here after, in the opening segment with that vybz kartel song. T hall was throwing the fuck down then there is this one random snowboarder totally killing the vibe of the scene

Snowboarding always seems kinda like amateur hour to me. I don't see a lot of dudes with much skill, just in general. And their gear always looks cheap af to me.

Snowboarding is naturally less aesthetic than skiing because it usually requires more effort to spin and in general its harder to make things look as effortless as you can on skis.

I respect snowboarding, but I’ve never been a fan of the whole having to flail your entire body to get a spin out of a rail aspect.

It takes like 2 days to translate your other board sport skills into mediocre snowboarding skill. That’s probably a good thing for the sport, there are a lot of casual snowboarders buying gear and lift tickets in a given year.

I just get irritated trying to ride seriously with snowboarders because they get stuck and can’t traverse. If they can strap their binding on in under 5 minutes then I am good. I grew up waiting for my little brother who quit skiing to start snowboarding so I guess all the little things just bother me more than normal, but I can’t turn it off.

Boarding quads look even shittier than boarding trips.

I've skied my whole life, and snowboarded for 8 years (16 now). I got really good boarding, not as good as I am on skis tho. Both sports are fun, but skiing is where it's really at. Snowboarding doesn't compare. Also catching an edge every two minutes isn't fun.

Just hang around the park and talk to people, in my experience everyone is always super nice plus you got a common interest right there. Ask if you can shred with them and boom, crew assembled

Op did you ever think that perhaps you only see groups of snowboarders because they refuse to board alone?


I've seen plenty of solo boarders and they're usually pretty good. My guess is the groups of boarders are just kids on a weekend trip with their friends cuz it's cool

I tune boards/skis. Snowboarders don't take shit for care of their gear. I never see skis as neglected as boards. Also, they're too stupid to do basic math. Had a guy yesterday that tried to give me $15 when he owed me $40. I said where'd you see that pricing? He says "on FB." I said show me. Pulls it up, it says $40. All he could do was give me a stupid look.

Snowboarders just look like they have more friends because they all have to sit on the run together to take a break or flail around on cat walks while skiers simply ride to the lift and hang out together on the ride up.

That being said, having a ski crew is clutch. Just find some good guys on the hill and ask to ride with them but make a point that they dont need to wait for you if you are slower. If you are cool and at their level get their number to shred again the next weekend etc. They dont need to be your regular friends either.
