Why have Canadian snowboarders dominated slopestyle for a decade or so now yet Canadian skiers have just tickled the podium over the same time?

Tickle tickle, who ate the pickle?

Side note: why these 'pro' snowboarders throwing upright front 7's?

Idk but there seems to be more support for the snowboard community than for the ski community coming from big sponsors supporting events and contests in the east

I feel like snowboarders everywhere generally have a big percentage of park riders. In Canada it seems like a more hardcore all mountain/pow skiing scene

About a decade ago Canadians won a lot of medals. Schiller, Burke, Turski, Gagne, etc

Venue makes a big difference. More americans in US contest, more europeans in euro contests.

Yea, I see so many upright spins thrown in contests, that literally makes zero sense to me. And they generally score fairly similar to their corked varients. What gives?
