Skiing v. Boarding

lol but its not nice to go away with a group of mates and have them leave you behind at the top of a mountain? bit dangerous

I have skied in a mixed group of boarders and skiers and never found it a problem. As Mr W says........each to their own

eljay, what is your secret, you get younger by the minute

As far as boarders taking a few moments to be ready at the top of the lift, it really depends on the length of the run. On short runs, where you might be doing 30 or 40 runs, it can be a pain. On longer runs over the course of a day, it doesn't add up to much waiting time. Step-in bindings speed up the process, but they are not fashionable these days (except Flows).

It takes skiers a lot longer to pick themselves up after a fall. I'm sure they would be miffed if their snowboarding buddy said, sorry I can't be bothered to wait for you.

...or its worth investing the time to try and gently tempt them back from the dark side )

Each to their own, I don't really care if people want to Board, Alpine ski, Cross country, Telemark or snow shoe the common denominator is respect for other slope users and respect for the mountains :shock:
