Wow, some of you people are intolerant assholes. If you think that skiboarding takes away fun parts of skiing, that it doesn't use the whole mountain, then don't do it! Doesn't mean you have to bitch at other people who do it. You sound like snowboarders, ripping on skiiers years way back. Let them ride what they want, and stop being dickwads, find another way to make yourselves feel superior.
There are shitty skiboarders that I'd ratehr not have in the park, but the same is true of snowboarders and skiiers (mostly snowboarders). So don't hate the sport, hate the individual, and don't say they ALL suck, because, like the former skiboarder pros who switched to twins, there are pros who still skiboard who are as good as those guys were, and would probly be successful if they wanted to switch.
Oh and I really like the whole 'all skiboarders are gay' thing. I'm sure if you ride a different length of plank, it's inevitable that you become homosexual. That makes perfect sense.
Seriously, you want to say skiboarders give skiing a bad image, well, YOU give skiing a bad image with this bullshit. Let people do what they want, and stop creating hate. We don't need it on the mountain.
Do what you want and let other people do what they want. As long as they don't cut you off or wreck jumps. Then land on them.
