The plague ofEuropeanski slopes: Teenage, Male,British, novice snowboarders with a really bad attitude.
They are a dangerous menace.
FTFY. While not all snowboarders are dicks, the activity does attract more than its fair share.

PS Some skiers are dicks too I know, but this is a matter of percentages.
I have been snowboarding once and it was an unmitigated disaster. All the other times I've gone to the snow I went skiing, the last time before this year being about 10 years ago. I managed to pick it up reasonably quickly and after a few lessons can now do parallel turns. Hoping my family goes to the snow this winter so I can do it again!
The first time I skied I was eight years old. My mother took me to Devils Head Resort, and by the end of the day I was parallel turning, in other words I was and am a natural. I do not get to brag about athletic talents much, but I am blessed to have perfect balance, so skiing was natural for me. By the time I was 17, I had won many trophies, was setting the pace time for the NASTAR course at my local hill, a ski instructor and was invited to join USSA.
I should have.
I could have.
I would have.
I could have gone on to possibly being an Olympic participant. But I didn't.
I would love to do it now, but it is still expensive. My mother has skied all over Europe, and regularly goes out West 3-4 times a season. Right now I am very far away from anything remotly called a ski hill.
Just...wasted talent.
I think I'm the only Final Gear member who lives at a ski resort!
Anyway, snowboarding is for fools.
