I think some of you are missing the point of this thread. There is nothing wrong with boarders or skiers in the park. Both Disciplines are awesome respectively. The problem is, ALL the boarders go in the park, even when they dont even know how to carve. It is good that they want to learn, but they should learn to snowboard before they go tearing through the park. I get just as mad at amature skiers that flop around the park. Whether you board, blade or ski, you should meet a certain skill level before you decide to rip through the park.
