If your snowboarding you can sit on your a$$ in the middle of a run at any hill you want, just make sure you take 4 friends with you so you can spread out across the run

You forgot a key point, it must be just bellow a sight restricted roll in the hill so nobody can see you as they approach.
Generally I always ski the edges of runs, better snow and oddly less people stop there (even thou that is the exact area, the sides of the run, where you should stop and rest/wait. Which my old legs to a lot).

The insult is ski ballet is the cheesiest looking thing humans have ever invented just behind spread eagles and daffys. I don't think snowboarding has anything quite so bad in its history, although I do remember one movie where the guys were doing a "Dew plant," which was sipping a Mountain Dew while doing a one-hand handstand in a halfpipe. That was pretty cringe.

Lol this guy begs to differ. Unless you think snowboarder bros doing sick jumps and shredding the gnar with their boyz in the quest for radical stoke are "steezy"

IDK which gives it away but it's either the monster stripes on his helmet, the "Holla At Cha Boy" print on his oversized hoodie, or that super cool pose he's striking.
Not sure if you've ever heard the voice over in a Travis Rice film, but that would have been a good candidate too lol.
(anyway, just having fun. it's the first image that came up on a "snowboarder style" google image search so /shrug)

I could find plenty of videos like that featuring skiers.

^ I’m just saying that snowboarders have there fair share of cringe too. I’m sure in a few years we all look back on park rat style / snowboarder bro culture the same way we look at lame 80’s ski culture, it’s just that snowboarding is still a relatively young sport so we don’t have the benefit of time.

It's freestyle skiers that are stuck in the baggy "long collective" days. (reference Mr. Harlaut above)
Hahahaha, this is what I thought, but I wasn't sure and didn't think to check the link.
Jossi isn't exactly the guy you'd call emblematic of park rat culture, either...

I refuse to acknowledge anything even remotely cool on snowblades.
You shut your mouth.

You honestly come across as a bit of a repressed, buttoned up, dork. This isn’t 93/94 anymore. The sport is older than I am. It helped skiing develop parabolic shapes, get into half pipe, and together they’ve grown slope style. They are sharing technology more, than opposing.
A real benefit, to our Rocky Mtn hills, is we used to be able to do single laps with high alpine pow, trees, pipe (rip), and park. Developing a generation of all-around rippers.
On the topic of pipes; From the too steep pitched, pipe at Larch, to the o.g at the base of the ol platter, to under the friendly giant, Louise put a lot ($) into them. I feel CODA, or the like, should feed money to these hills the same way they do COP. (Granted I dont know the intimate finances)
