Put a motor on it, or count me out.

cute, if cynical. My brother taught himself to ski backwards in about 60 seconds... he got the hand/eye genes, I think.

I like Dave Barry. He reminds me of my dad.

This one is my favorite of all! Hilarious! Skiers are Republicans...lol! Barry's generalizations match up perfectly to my generalizations.
Not a fan of snowboarders...unless I'm watching the Olympics where they are well out of my way and voting district.

Saw my first snowboarder about ten years ago at Mt Hood. I knew at first sight that they are not from this planet.

I read this when it first came out, just after I started snowboarding. I loved it, cut the article out and saved it.
Most of my friends in high school were skiers, so I tried skiing at first, but couldn't keep the skis from crossing. Once we (my two instructors and I--public lesson on a weekday evening) figured out which foot needed to be in front, it was a breeze.
ok, yeah, there were some pretty good wipe-outs along the way, but nothing like when I was trying to ski...me on a snowboard is much safer for everyone on the slope than me on skis.
