Whatever, I can see there's no convinving you. I guess I'm just an arrogant elitist then.

Snowboarders, in general, scrape more snow off a hill than skiiers do. Of course, to you, this is a completely discriminatory and "elitist" statement, but I know plenty of people that would completely agree with me. And like I said, it's not elitist in any way. Mad River banned them so they...

I really don't think I would care if a few places closed the mountian to skiiers, but I don't see any reason why they would. There are plenty of other places to ski.

Totally. My helmet has saved my life so many times.

Thank you God.

A ton of concussions, bumps and bruises, busted ribs and I messed my elbow up last year, but nothing too too serious.

Giro.

I'd say it varies by the person and their musical taste.

Whee is it?

I've already said that I have plenty of buds that snowboard and I ski with all the time. I'm not trying to be elitist. The places that ban them aren't trying to be elitist. Like I said, they're losing a shitload of money by doing it. They're doing it to make a better enviornment for skiiers...

That's fine with me. We can agree to disagree.

Of course they could be applied to any mountain. The difference is that Mad River acted upon it, while other mountains have not.

You seriously beleive skiiers scrape off more snow than boarders? If it's an apology you want, fine. I'm sorry for being "prejudiced" against snowboarders. I have a ton of buds that board, and I hit the slopes with them all the time, but the experience is no where remotely close to what I get at...

Jesus Christ, this is like talking to toddlers. Mad River Glen is a Co-op, meaning it isn't any longer owned by one person, but by hundreds of people, who buy shares in the mountain. The share-holders have meetings, and every year vote on issues, one of them being whether or not they should...

So am I.

First of all, the owner was a kindly 80 year old woman, not some rich guy running a resort. And the snowboarders had been giving the whole organization shit for months, and everyone was fed up with it. It's not prejudice if the other side instigates it. And the snowboarders had much, much more...

Nice.

I don't see how race or anything else applies to this situation at all. It wasn't a snowboarder prejudice or anything. Snowboarders were banned for a legitimate reason, sorry you can't accept that. And wouldn't it only make sense to point out other's comments that back up mine? And I'm just...

Obviously more skiiers go on mogul runs, but I'm saying, when your average snowboarders do, they do much more damage done than the amount done by average skiers. There's no denying that fact. As for the cursing out bit, it was more of a last straw thing. The snowboarders had already been giving...

You're acting like there are no shitty snowboarders that go on moguls, and only shitty skiiers that do go on them, which is of course untrue. I'm saying, on the whole, ski-made moguls are much better than snowboard made ones. They're much bigger and tighter. And the bad snowboarders DO ruin...
