I blame the whole skiing vs. snowboarding war on two things.
First was because of the resorts that didnt allow (or still dont allow) snowboarding back when it was starting to take off (ussually because of a traditionalist attitude.. Alta v. Snowbird is the big one)
Snowboarding only grew from this because it became the youthful anti-authority "cool" thing to do... while skiing was still stuck in this whole funk that was all about just looking good in your onepiece or something...
Then I also blame it on Johnny Tsunami, because that just epitomised the anti-skiing attitude of the time, and made us skiers look like stuckup, white, brats with lots of money and soo not cool. (Rephrased: anyone on two planks all looked like racers after that movie).
Either way, I have never had any animosity towards snowboarders... unless they were the jerkbag ones that hate on skiing as if its the antichrist or something and make up these stupid stories such as "I hate all skiers because this one time this ONE skier happened cut me off and I fell down and hurt my ass" or "oh my god.. in line, some skier couldnt stop and ran over my board and scratched it waaah waaah..."
Those kind of snowboarders (or skiers that do the opposite)are ussually the types of people that I want to pour ipicac in their chile when they are in the lodge...
