I skiied for 25 years then started boarding 6 years ago. Skiers are by far more dangerous than boarders. Hands down!! They ski too fast, too close, don’t give downhill the right of way, cut ppl off, out of control, don’t slow down in “ slow” zones. Snowboarders are usually younger but more courteous.

What mountain is this? It has to be either Mt Seymour or Grouse Mountain.

I am giving up skiing after this season due to all the out of control snow boarders. There are too many collisions now, some fatal and almost all the fault of boarders. That sound they make coming down at 60, 70 and 80 mph means they don’t care if they cripple or kill somebody, including themselves.

wack shit yo

they thought snowboarders were going to kill the ski industry when it has really been Vail Resorts the whole time!

This is one of those videos that didn’t age well 😂😂

🏂 snowboarders are a menace. More bad apples than good

Interesting what would they say about Skii Cycles which are gaining popularity nowadays

its funny how snowboarding has taken over the scene hahah what a square goof that flake is!

skis are for (the british word for cigarette)

Skiers are liberal, snowboarders are conservative, theyre like "ski resorts shouldnt have so much power. All people are created equal and deserve to be free, fuck big ski resorts, give the power back to the people" 😁 love it

TROLL mode on: ski is right wing and snowboard revolution (was) left wing ! F/O conservators of all times !

Man 1985 doesn't seem that long ago. But damn it is really is

This aged well like fine wine.

Alpine Meadows was a great place to ski in the 80's and 90's. They were the last place in CA to allow snowboarding, in 1997. Like many others at the time. I thought it was a gigantic mistake. My son was 13 in 1997, and was already an expert skier, with 10 years of experience. He took to boarding like a duck to water, and within a season or two, was passing up dear old dad, even though I was a youthful and athletic 45. Twenty-five years later, it's the same story, even though he now only gets to ride 3 or 4 days a year, and I regularly get in 10X that in retirement. Ahaaaaah, youth!

Snowboarders always falling and running into people, and sliding all the way down the slope when they fall lol, seen boarders slide for 500+ yards many times hahaha, sketchy fun

Snowboarders really fought for their rights against the skiers establishment.

I got a similar vibe when I started riding my lawn-mower downhill off-pissed ;)

Snowboards still suck

2:49 Wow that is ironic

When I started Boarding in 1992 in Switzerland, there were no issues with riding in a resort. I guess Americans just tend to discriminate minorities 😊

When… when did skis have breaks?

Gather ‘round, Jimmy nine fingers is gonna give us a safety lesson.

I’m totally calling them skiboards from now on 😂

Pizza

Our local hill wouldn't allow snowboarding and would punch our ticket for catching even the smallest of air. (Banned me for a week for doing a helicopter). Now the same place has a whole fun park and my youngest is an instructor there. How times change

I've liked both since I was a kid. I'm both a one and two planker wanker

I remember first seeing Snowboarding in the late 90s. Yeah, teenage kids who were selfish jackasses and after they wiped out would sit in the middle of the trail smoking a bowl with their friends. Simple solution. Designate a snowboard hill and separate them from skiers.

Darn tootin whippersnappers!

Well coming from the skiers' perspective, I guess very few people back in the day can really snowboard, so they were just watching a bunch of jerrys up and down the mountain and thought that's what "snowboarders" gonna do all day on their beloved mountains 😂. To be fair I might be scared too

As a skier who's never tried snowboarding, the hate towards snowboarders is just nonsense

It's funny how the one guy says snowboarders can't see behind them ...... But it's actually skiers who can't see behind them 💀💀💀

I snowboarded for 4 years and never had any injuries. Then, I tried skiing lessons, twice, and tore my ACL and had surgery and have been down for 11 months 🙂💩 skiing took a year of my life 🙃

This is what the morons at alter resort must be like.

Split boards could get on the lifts back then. I think they missed that opportunity 😅

Snowboards were invented in Michigan... f off

Now it's an Olympic sport 😅

Oh how wrong they all were. I ski and snowboard and enjoy them both but I would never have hiked up the mountain to snowboard. I have been hammered down by a snowboarder and I gently hit a 12 year old girl and knocked her down while learning to snowboard. Her dad was very mad at me. I just sat down and said I would stay there until she felt better and/or dad understood how sorry I was. I went to ski patrol headquarters a bit later and offered to pay for their lift tickets but the dad said I didn't need to do that.

I was a part of the skier vs. snowboarder wars back in the 80's and early 90's and by the time we won independence and were recognized as citizens we had lost a lot of good men. Our entire elite "Smart Aleck" team 6 was completely wiped out before we signed our truce.

Some of them have had a bit to drink, lol so have the skiers

I’ve been an avid snowboarder for 17 years now. The difference is skiing is vanilla, snowboarding is punk rock. We will always be the cooler of the two.

Story of my life. Nosy Karens telling me what I should be doing instead of what I want to do. As a skater, snowboarder, mtn biker. I’ve had to fight these people my whole life…

“Even if snowboarding is just another California fad….” 😂😂😂

I’m sorry, do skiis have breaks?

Snowboards dont have brakes , neither do skis lol

Ive been boarding round my area most days for the last 30 years. I got weird looks and outright abuse when i started all those years ago, and i still do now. Fuck em. Its only snowed here 4 times in 30 years, but so fucking what.

And short skis still suck. 😂

It would be great to interview these people again in 2024 and see what they have to say about it. "Snowboarding is just another California fad"....if they only knew.

They were right. Snowboarders are clowns.

Vermonters are too cool
