First off Mister 100day pin , I live in Aspen and I have been a snowboarder for a long time and Second season on skis . There are set backs to both sports , I have blasted through mogul fields plenty of times faster than the skier next to me maintaining my edge navigating through the moguls and jump turning though them just fine along with plenty of other boarders . So don’t think that half of the people on here don’t know your full of it . Yes it’s harder to do on a snowboard yes it’s harder to make it look more natural but that board is plenty feasible as long as it has forward momentum on the downhill . Don’t want to end up in a flat spot? Ride something steeper… skating the board forward is definitely a little bit of a setback but worth it , not a dealbreaker for anyone at all. I have seen plenty of skiers do stupid ? , endless deer in the headlights situations in both sports so dont even . Also in the powder sure skiing is a blast but get on a snowboard and try to convince me that a pair of skis are more navigable through the powder (many skiiers agree) . Both sports have their ups and downs but both are equally great . Dont ever listen to people like this , any body with a superiority complex like that steer clear . All they will do is gravitate towards negativity and judgment toward others which is also happening in the snowboard world unfortunately. Just remember this guy has his head up his own ?. Do whatever you want just remember person downhill of you always has right of way , and while traveling dh always look uphill before traversing across slope to avoid collision . Dont stop in blind spots behind nells and Don’t hug the shoulders too much around blind corners because you may get taken out by a mtn ops snowmobile. Most importantly mind your own business and don’t be a ? ! Cheers
