Why dont you like boarding Tony?, it really is fun.
No I was'nt taking it serious, I just wondered if you had tried it and did,nt like. Actually we are trying to decide which we enjoy most and which we should concentrate more on at the moment. If its skiing then we must really invest in our own gear, cant go on forever hireing.
Thats the problem, boarding/skiing/x country/ when you dabble at all 3 you dont get to be good at any of them, just average. Hence the need to concentrate on just one.

Point taken. Boot her out and change the locks, and call it a separation then. She can board all she likes then.

Rose, its just banter. Dont take it so seriously.
I actually think a really good boarder looks fantastic, especially in powder, better than a skier in fact.
There has always been this rivalry between skiers and boarders, so I just play along.
Having said that, boarders do the few things that drive me nuts when I go skiing:
1. Making that horrible loud scraping noise when they come down a hard packed or icy piste on their back edge
2. Sit over the brow of hills
3. Get in the way in entrances to lifts
4. Take up all the room on the lifts
5. Speak using stupid words that they make up

Indeed. I have invested in a lot of stuff for skiing, which is another reason not to take up boarding.
I also am getting quite good at it after entering into it late in life, and dont want to go back to being a beginner again!
It must be nice to be good at both.

I've got an agreement with my boys - perfect skiing and then they can learn to board.
they're paralleling down blacks now, they've got a week of lessons in tignes at easter, one more holiday without lessons (which they hate) and then they can learn to board.
they won't like being a beginner again. all part of the plan :twisted:
