honorable mention: slashing the tail of your board with their edges on the lift

I ride a 164 and so admittedly I take up a lot of space on a lift if I want to be comfortable. Never fails that they still find a way to hit the fuck out of my board at any opportunity even when I'm sitting weird to take up no space. Yet weirdly, my friend who grew up boarding and just learned to ski for fun last season never did with her skis, even on two seat lifts. Funny how that works

Skiers never look when snaking across the hill - even the experienced ones. In fact the older and more experienced, the more likely they are to never look around cutting across the fall line and through intersections. Tunnel vision the entire day. Beginner snowboarders do this less and less the more experienced they get - they learn that part of being a good rider is paying attention. Copper has one of the worst openings weeks out of every resort in the summit area because they cater to ski teams. I've seen this at so many resorts and the culture is always the same - the race teams are usually entitled, line-cutting, and snobby. Last season a race coach tried to cut a line of 30+ people, arguing with the lifty, and we mass-shamed him to know his place. You've missed one annoying habit - standing in front of side hits or their landings. It's like magnetism, if there is a fun looking side hit...chances are that a skier will feel an unexplainable urge to block it or stand in the landing. The average groomer skier has so little steeze that they don't even register that maybe people want to hit jumps, so they aren't trained to think "Am I in the way?"

A few years ago I was riding a lift with a skier family. When we approached the last lift tower I started to lift the bar, the father started freaking out yelling “woah woah woah, don't lift the bar yet, I've skied in Switzerland!”. Because that makes total sense. Lol. He was obviously trying to look tough in front of his wife. I looked at her and said “I'm so sorry you have to deal with him”, he wasn't happy at all about that. I cried laughing the whole ride down the mountain.

Never really thought about it until now, but I’m convinced that a lot of the douchy social skiing behavior comes from them being boomers. Skiing has existed for a lot longer than boarding…most of the worst types of skiers are the old-heads. You don’t have a lot of old boarders, and when you do see them, they’re tight as fuck. Also, the not-on-my-ski-resort mentality of Alta/deer/etc. has got to be from the crusty old ski fucks. Never heard my younger ski friends argue for it. Also, the not looking then crashing into you…that just screams stinky boomer behavior and entitlement and almost exclusively happens with the old heads. It’s just an extension of the same gross victim mentality they carry everywhere else.

I told him downhill rider has right of way so why was he riding so close? He didn’t like that, got in my face in the lift line, and the lifty had to escort him out of the line. The entitlement knows no bounds.

The tunnel vision thing is so true. So many of them have absolutely no awareness. Even if you call out an 'on your left' as you try to pass a group of them doing the 's-thing' taking up the whole mountain, they still act as if you cut them them off.

Chucking out unpredictable handbreak turns to change a line in the middle of a piste is a constant too.

They plant their poles right in front of your board on the off ramp. They poke your eyeballs out when they carry their skis on their shoulders, as they turn around the skis come around like helicopter rotors. They take 4 feet of width in the lineup because they have to push themselves forward with poles. I could keep going

Although your list is spot on, I was going to dismiss it if you didn't mention them bombing down the hills and having zero regard for anyone on the mountain. They even bomb down green runs. At least snowboarders have to mitigate their speed even on black diamond runs. When I look up the hills, I usually do because I'm weary of skiers, not snowboarders. You can't worry too much about the torpedos from above though because as you said, one below you will cut right in front of you.

As a skier, i thoroughly enjoyed the video. I'll definitely agree with the blinders argument. I do think it comes down at least in part to the fact that on a snowboard, it's way easier to look up the hill and are therefore more aware when you are about to cut someone off that's approaching from behind. I've been hit twice, once by a skier and once by a snowboard. Only difference was that the snowboarder apologized lol. That being said, you are so dead wrong on number one 🤣. It is pretty rare to see an adult snow plowing on anything other than a green or easy blue (and a small child is too light to ruin the snow even if they are plowing). I see soo many beginner/intermediate snowboarders that will scrape down an entire run even on steeper slopes making like 2 turns. Combine that with the fact that all the pressure is on a single edge, and yeah, low level snowboarders ruin more snow than low level skiers. If you carve, you aren't part of the problem.

The difference is, snowboarding like that is simply no fun. Snowboarders are forced to progress if they want to have fun. Skiers can make it all the way down the mountain while snow plowing and I’m sure it’s still fun.
