Hey folks. Glad to see you're still here. I've kinda neglected this site for a while- but now winters here, bring forth snow.

Welcome back, jonpaul. Of course we're still here. Things have been quiet on this particular forum over the summer (we obviously have more of a life than the two plank merchants!) but we've kept things ticking along. It's getting more active now.

I have noticed that some of the ski designs are copying board designs now. (Line).

We usually nominate a ski suit of the day award.
Last years best was an all in one pink number with big yellow spots on - looked like Mr Blobby

About time too! I hope you will forgive a 2-plank invader (part-time boarder only), but the great thing about boarding gear is practicality. Far too much ski stuff is all style but not fit for a mountain. I wear a boarding jacket. When I replace my trousers they will be boarding-style and baggy.
I note that ski stuff is more kinky than useful. Whereas boarder stuff seems to be derived from arctic explorers (anyone know what board that is?). I think this would be a great outfit, and isn't he holding a board as well?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

ah, you cynic Nick!
They are inherently different forms of movement and so do have their own separate attractions. I hope that SnowHeads are genuine enough to be ruled by their own desires rather than by fashion. I certainly don't care about whether boarding is fashionable and if you saw my 10 year old mountaineering jacket that i wear, you'd know that I'm telling the truth (or maybe i am just going for that genuine retro look?)

Ah well,
Me - I go for the grunge look - but it's more to do with wearing gear out & lack of money than any fashion statement!!!

You know it makes sense.

Damn, two entirely reasonable responses.
Boarding was the best thing to happen to skiing but right now skiing seems to be what the young tykes go for.

Boarding is more physically challenging for the young children though.

True and falling over when boarding hurts a lot more.

And with boarding, falling over counts as a legitimate stop.
Skiing is far more techniquely demanding, though apparently not as easy to spell.

"skiing" is easy to spell. "technically" is another matter
