Look at the facts here. Snowboarders are more likely to be involved
with drugs than the average person. Snowboarders are also more
likely to be involved in vandalism. If you don't recognize the
problem, then take your blinders off. And then the fact that I can't
enjoy the slopes in peace because the snow boarders start blaring
their "X-treme" music, its just wrong. I think JR raised some valid
points here and trying to ignore them like you are trying to do won't
make them go away.

Your self righteousness makes me wanna puke. Trying to pass off as
superior isn't going to solve any problem. Maybe you should try being
constructive as oppose to being destructive. Why don't you offer your
ideas on where these problems stem from. Wait, you already did. You
loosely pinned it on snowboarders.

Let me make some similar accusations. Skiers are all pricks, they
don't do drugs but like to drink irresponsibly, especially apres ski.
All skiers are self righteous. Skiers like to point all problems at
snowboarders. Skiers can't handle powder.

WOW, that was easy!! I never thought that it was so easy just making
generalizations that may or may not hold up to even half of all
skiers! I think I will use this approach more often to argue my
points. (I hope you understand that this whole paragraph was
sarcastic).

JR did bring up some valid points that there are assholes on the hill,
but to pin it on snowboarders is low, below the belt low. Like you
said, trying to ignore the facts won't make these problems go away,
BUT trying to pass the blame on some other group won't either.



Well, stu, until I see differently from all the snowboarders that come to
town, these generalizations are pretty much dead on. You ask for some
constructive advice, well here's my advice Paco. Snowboarders need to
stop using drugs. Period. Back in my day, I didn't need drugs to give
me a lift, I got that by having clean fun. You notice skiiers and other
mountain enthusaists don't feel the need to use drugs like snowboarders
do. And you're right that skiiers can't handle powder. That's because
skiiers aren't into drugs. They don't WANT powder.

JR had valid points because if you look at it scientifically, the
majority of the assholes are snowboarders. Look at the facts.

MH, its always easier to pin it on one thing isn't it. Like Terrorism,
its Saddam Hussein. Like air pollution, its big nasty factories. You
see, there are more to problems than just one cause. Most of the time
there are many causes. By the way, I'd like to know what drug use
contributes to the problems on the hill? Are snowboarders high as a kite
while they snowboard? or are drugs making them violent and inconsiderate?

Plus are you sure that skiers don't want powder? can you speak for all
of them? (tell you the truth, untouched powder is the purest form of
skiing or snowboarding because it is all natural)
