Everyone should switch to skiing.

Was on a chairlift in Morzine last week trying to work out the
boarder/skier ratio. It was easy to do as generally, all the people
moving were skiers and all the people boarding were sat down
somewhere in the middle of the piste.
It was roughly around 20:1.

It's opposite off piste where the real fun is



If the off-piste involves any significant uphill or rolling terrain
you're more likely to encounter skiers with touring bindings.

It also depends on the location. I was skiing the Grand Montet in
Argentiere last weekend, which is mainly off piste, served by a few
pistes. Snow boarders were in a minority both on and off the piste.
