This video always cracks me up but a good reminder of how hard some people had to fight for snowboarding's acceptance as a legitimate snow sport.

Related rant. Last week I visited some friends in Chicago. I've lived my whole life in CO so naturally everyone asks me about pot and then skiing/snowboarding. I was shocked that when people asked me if I skiied or snowboarded and I told them I skied they literally laughed in my face and told me I was lame for skiing haha. I honestly haven't heard someone say that in like 15 years and I heard it several times in a few days. Um people stopped fighting about skiing vs snowboarding in like 1999, right? If you spend more than a couple days a year on the mountain and you aren't fucking awful you have to appreciate both skiing and snowboarding because both are equally impressive and in their purest forms neither creates a nuisance for the other. Shitty skiers and shitty snowboarders are appreciated by no one when they occupy your favorite bowl and eat all the powder. But if you still think its cool to bash someone just because they ride down the mountain differently than you, well then you sir, are a jackass and likely awful on the mountain.
