Dogs hate 'em, too
We were in Stowe and Bolton this weekend. The highlight occured on the
final day at Bolton. Down at the Timberline Lodge, they've got a Basset Hound who has run of the place. He goes in and out as he chooses. After sampling some crust off the floor, he wandered outside. As the floppy-eared boy was headed for a rack of skis, I thought, "Great, he's going to knock them over." Instead he lifted his leg and urinated on the lone snowboard at the end of the rack. Apparently, dogs hate boarders, too. True story. |

Cute story however I must ask: WHY do you hate snowboarders?!? Do you think
skiers are better people than snowboarders? I'm not a snowboarder but I don't "hate'em", why would I? I really don't understand this attitude... It's not like there's a big threat that all skiers are going to be overtaken by the big bad snowboarding population!! They are there...we are there...and that's it! Get over it! In my opinion we're lucky to have snowboarders to share the hills with. Believe it or not, skiing is NOT enjoyed by everyone on the planet and people have differing opinions on what is fun and what is not. The one thing we both have in common as skiers and snowboarders is that we both need a hill to practice our sport, and in order to keep the ski resorts alive for us skiers, we need clients. The introduction of snowboarding has been the only savior for the smaller struggling ski hills in the past ten years...even with the introduction of snowboarding the hills in my region have been slowly closing one by one due to lack of participation, it's depressing! Snowboarding is fresh and young and it attracts people to participate in winter sport. (which again....where is the bad part?) From an economic point of view it is an aid to skiers who enjoy local areas and smaller resorts. It does no harm to skiers, if anything we are lucky to have snowboarders to add to our playground. (and telling me reasons such as chair lift stories or damaging the hill with the board...beleive me, IT GOES BOTH WAYS! Why do think it's called a "snowplow") So why again? "ant" wrote in message ...

They are there...we are there...and that's it! Get over it! I'm not sure from whence you hail, but throughout much of Red America, "hate" is a buzzword whose connotations elude my understanding. In my corner of the globe, it's not unusual to hate rain, lint balls or George W. Bush. In other words, don't parse meaning that isn't there. I'm on record as staying they're annoying, so I'll leave it at that: http://blogdayafternoon.com/articles...422/index.html Jeff |

I got cut off in traffic by someone with a yellow-ribbon bumper sticker, but I don't go on a hate campaign against the displayers of yellow-ribbon bumper stickers. It's called being a grownup. -- Mary Malmros Some days you're the windshield, other days you're the bug. |

Also Sprach Mary Malmros :

Really? Because I hate, literally, with a passion, those yellow-ribbon bumper stickers.
