Skipping past the politics of this situation... hate to say it, but I loathe snowboarders :/ I did snowboard for a couple of years, but I saw the selfishness of the ‘sport’.. they don’t care about others around them.. They put a block on slopes.. The come flying through (by a rough 90 degree angle) across slopes and knock skiers off their feet (experienced this many times.. and I ski yearly)...
They politics involved in this piece are self explanatory..
I had an experience with one of these reckless clowns a few years back. I dodged him without incident on the slope. But there was an incident later at the bar when I accidentally knocked him down. I then accidentally stepped on his hand while trying to help him to his feet as I was apologizing for not seeing him. The clueless dude never realized it was payback. Saw him again the next day with a splint on 2 of his fingers.
