Next time you see someone like this, think to yourself... "Hey, maybe this kid is just trying to have fun. Maybe he's just learning a new sport I love (and yes equate skiing and snowboarding as the same sport.} I used to absolutely suck at some point as well." And in regards to his GoPro, maybe his parents, who don't understand winter sports at all, bought him something to not only make him happy, but also so he can show them what he is learning to do. This kid may have been not only providing himself with fun by learning to snowboard, but also enlightening others who don't even know what a ski slope looks like. I don't mean this as direct attack to the OP, but as an attempt to hopefully affect everyone who reads this to stop and think a second before you call someone " GAPER ! " or " POSER ! " . We all support the industry in our own way, and no one spent their first day on the hill sliding DFD rails on twin tips in XLT outergear.
