Coming to the Snow Play Area Near You!

I saw something on the Travel Channel that might make 1/2 pipes useful. It's
an "air-sled". It has a bottom a bit like that of an inflateable boat, it
does get blown up with air, and it has little rails on the sides that enable
you to "steer" (at least as well as a snowboard anyway). I think it was
about 8" tall and 3' long.

Please, Please, Please..................I hope that these soon become
acceptable in 1/2 pipes and all snowplay areas that allow snowboards. Ride
the earth...right? Or do you think that snowboarders would have some reason
not to allow them at "their" areas?

Discuss?

a mate of mine had one a couple of seasons ago , bloody fast !!

I say we just dig a pit at the end of the 1/2 pipe and let the boarders
fall in. When it fills up, cover them over and dig a new one just below.

The concept is like that of a roach motel. Boarders go in but they can't
get out. It cleanses the entire mountain quite nicely.

Discuss?

A B NORMAL ??? shame on you just cos its r.s.a no need to be a ****

I wonder where the industry would be if we didn't have the income from the
lift ticket sales, rentals and lessons that we've gotten from the snow
boarders... How many more of our mountain playgounds would have gone belly
up? I ski but have at least tried boarding. In fact, I'll probably take a
few more lessons before I decide if I really like it or not. Of course,
I'll never give up playing on two boards. I enjoy PSIA events too much for
that.

Given a choice between boarders and all the current ski areas, and no
boarders with some smaller number of ski areas, I'll take the boarders.

You should get the Nobel Prize for this invention.

They'd probably be doing better. Boarders scare of the real skiers.
They don't spend as much for rentals or lessons. They don't spend as
much on food. And most are too young to patronize the bars.

Not that his reply was relevant, but he was right.

Are you 4? Just curious because you spell like it.
