On a split board you can travel much faster than snowshoes and go where the helicopters and beelers don't. You have to know what you're doing though, beacons, rescue, snow conditions, etc. scawey stuff, but well worth it.
you also have to ski which is hella gay on a par only with regularly using and imac and/or iphone |

Sorry - did you miss the whole of europe out of the equation there? Not sure if you noticed but we have these big pointy things called mountains..... quite a lot of them 
And anyway, what the hell does riding deep powder have to do with anything? id rather not ride deep powder if I have to turn into a gay ass ski'er to do it
Over here we just rent a helicopter. No point fucking around  |

Which brings us back to the original argument.
Fly or drive to good mountains,
Pay out the ass chartering helicoptors,
rub elbows with yuppie dildos
kill your entire - day / 3 day weekend
Or suit up and skate your local park for nothing.
With the exception of the hike in types (which I am down to do) We can maybe all agree that snowboarding (in its commonly practiced format) sucks! |

| Upland. Yep this is one of the worst snow years I have seen here. Last year not so hot either. Global warming? The split ski/board looks worth trying out as snowshoes and postholing up slopes sucks ass when your 45. This weekend looks good for some dumpage. Just enough to cover up all the rocks. |

1- Fill the gas tank $50 bucks
2- Load up the gear and drive for 2 hours
3- Pay $50 bucks for a lift ticket
4- Ride for 4 hours
5- Pay $20 bucks for lunch and a couple of beers
6- Ride for 2 more hours
7- Suit down and drive 2 hours home
Total money spent: Roughly $100 bucks
Total time spent: one day
Or:
1- Get in the car (my skateboard and pads are already in the trunk)
2- Drive 5 minutes to my local park (Pedlow in Encino)
3- Skate for free for as long as i feel like it
4- Suit down and drive home
Total money spent $0
Total time spent 3 hours
I understand if you live somewhere with no skateparks and you have a season pass or something but fuckit. Snowboarding sucks.
[/b]
so you think it sucks cause you dont live near mountains and its to much money for you to do it, and you can fall down 
okay then
that doesent even deserve an answer
snowboarding kicks ass and give's you the feeling of total freeness
( ive that even is a word)
sorry if its out of your reach or budjet
SNOWBOARDING STILL KICK'S ASS
even more if ride it like skateboard, and take it to the streets
maybe not more depends from person to person
i can untherstand you dont like it butt your dislikeing it for all the wrong reasons
no better feeling then making the first lines on a freshly snowed up
mountain
wish i had some better action pic's to show butt i dont feel like i have to prove myself to someone that doesent appriciate snowboarding |

Also, snowboarding like skateboarding is lame...it's a different sport. Railslides at the local schoolyard is pretty poser looking (my opinion). |
