Shit Alta Skiers Say About Snowboarding

I must have missed the memo...I just made an appointment to get a noise ring.

Some of the things they say are bias. I am a teenager that snowboards and I don't swear and I have piercings. But kind of ticks me that just becaause how some snowboarders act affects the view that others have about us.

Yeah I saw this one on unofficial Robsta.  Have I mentioned shtook alta recently?  Anyway . . . .

Doesn't matter where you're from, every skier says exactly the same sh*t about snowboarders! Must be jealousy that it's becoming a more popular/exciting discipline which seems to have way more pull these days because at the end of the day is way more affordable than skiing and a sh*t ton cooler

I think its interesting that they are able to keep snowboarders out even though its on public land.

The guy at 4:40 is the best.

I don't give 2 $hits about Alta.
All the scratches on my boards tail are from skier not being able to stop or sticking their poles on my top sheet.

In the end it is not about being a skier or a snowboarder, it's about your maturity level and how bad you are at your sport of choice.

let's think of it like this.  alta is a place for all these skiers to go who have entitlement issues and a complete lack of understanding of snowboarding.  would you rather they didn't have their own place to go, and have them spread out at your local resort?  doubt it.

my bad man, i wasn't really replying to you specifically at all, but rather to people who get too upset about it, which i don't think you did.

I have the right to be upset when I'm kept off public land.  I don't really give a shit if the people who go there are assholes or not.  I want to be able to snowboard on the hills that I bike and hike on all summer long.  How is this illogical?

Whoa I didnt know there were 4 that were "ski only"? I thought there were only...2 maybe.

Last season a group of guys behind me in the lift line told me they couldn't wait for the "snowboarding fad" to go away. They weren't old or anything either, young fellas.

Gotta stop drinking that hatorade.

that burtons poach video is awesome! i tried to quote it for reference but it always quotes another post.

That's really messed up. I didn't know that there were places that don't allow snowboarders. Snowboarding is an awesome sport. Why do skiiers hate snowboarders so much?

Originally posted by MikeD13559 ^werd.  Skiers do the same dumb stuff.. Dress and act like D-bags, etc... it's more dumb ppl than dumb snowboarders or dumb skiers.  Dumb ppl do all kinds of stuff.  You can find them anywhere doing everything.  Have you seen Burton's Poach video!?

The Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) cam is classy.

I was about to point that out as the best part of the video. PBR <3

Classic keyboard warriors on here, picking people up on the little things. It's like people can't take a few broad comments here and there. When people say "every skier" etc, take it with a pinch of salt!

I could care less if certain resorts doesn't allow snowboarding. That would mean less dbags everywhere else. Not surprised at all to hear the comments made by skiers in the vid tho. Seems all skiers think alike on what they know absolutely nothing about.

It's just a matter of time.  Even old-fashioned-behind-the-times Augusta is allowing female members now... well, very few female members but still female members.  Alta will eventually remove their collective heads out of their collective arses and the ski-snobs will be sad.

^ In that case protest Snowbird!!!

It would be much more simple if snowboarders just quit spending their money at Snowbird.  Contrary to popular belief there are other excellent resorts in Utah.  With the same type of terrain.  Some places make you work a little harder, like Solitude, but the pay off is quality snow for longer.  Anyway, Snowbird would want to find out why boarders were not coming quickly enough.  If it was known that the Alta/Bird pass was the reason, they would quit that relationship.  Alta needs Snowbird, Snowbird does not need Alta, they need snowboarders. 

Anyway, I don't see it happening.  Most people don't get the connection that riding at Snowbird helps Alta continue their ban.

Its pretty ridiculous how these people say this stuff just because of one experience or just what they hear from other people. Skiers and snowboarders are no different from one another. There are assholes who ski and assholes who board its just the way it is.

Originally posted by Shift4200 I could be alone on this, but if i were tackled by ANY ski patrol at ANY mountain, you can be dam sure I'm coming up swinging.  I don't care what the mountains rules are, that's no excuse to tackle someone....

I would just sue the company, then anonymously buyout majority stake in it and turn it into a snowboard only mountain. Then fire the ski patrolman that tackled you because he is not capable of being boarder patrol.

I wonder how much of a premium Alta charges for this "luxury" of no snowboarders allowed. There MUST be a premium. Because that old guy was right, why would you turn down the extra revenue!?
