I wonder why the sanctioning bodies give handicaps to boarders and telemarkers, then? In our one league race this year (before they cancelled due to lack of snow), the two boarders were several seconds slower than the fastest skiers on the GS course. -- Robert I think he is providing evidence supporting you claim... notice he says best times were way "higher," which if you think about it... means "slower" I had to re-read the post a bunch of times before getting that myself. So yea, I personally have found that a skiier at a particular level of ability will be faster down the slope than a comparable snowboarder - that is just a general rule. Skiers can get more air out of the pipe than a comparable 'boarder as well. |
