[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umm, my rich as shit friends’ kids in Big Sky and Aspen all snowboard.

You have it wrong.  It’s not a division of wealth and non-wealth—it’s youth vs old.  Old people only ski.[/quote]

You have to be joking, right?

[b]I’m 45 (not young) and after 20 years on my skis, I almost exclusively snowboard - and I’m a woman.  After multiple injuries to my knees and hips, I find snowboarding better for the active elderly, like me.[/b]

My kids exclusively ski and have done so since they were 3.  I do give them the option to snowboard every year, but all 4 have said no because they don’t want to go back to square one.  They get about 15 days on the mountain each year (Breck/Vail/Keystone), so it’s not like they lack an opportunity.

OP you’re nuts to think this is a class thing.  Skiing (and snowboarding) is UMC/UC no matter how you slice it, unless you live near a resort - and even then it’s still very MC.[/quote]

I was expecting somebody to mention this. 44 year old here. I'm a 40 minute drive from a ski resort. Most of my neighbors and friends snowboard due to previous injuries.[/quote]
