I've noticed the snowboarders who aren't very good feel it's cool to make fun of skiers, or the skiers who aren't very good feel it's cool to make fun of boarders. After that most skiers or boarders are just there to have fun, not hate each other. I was skiing with another skier and 2 boarders. Two boarders started mocking me..."HUH HUH, I SKI !!!!!!" I took off my goggles and gave them a stare... I can be good at those, it shut them up. Anyway, the point of the story is they were on rentals and didn't board all that well, and... you guessed it, made fun of skiers.
