barok 0 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 I've heard alot of heresay, not on this board really, but elsewhere, that snowboarding is almost more popular amongst japanese girls than it is guys. is there any truth to it ? anecdotal evidence is from instructors who say that they get many more girls in their lessons than guys. other evidence is the fact that while only one japanese guy qualified in the halfpipe olympic contest, two japanese girls qualified in a smaller field of competitors. (now i know this was just one contest, and i'm not even 100% sure of these numbers, it's just what i remember) still other evidence is a large number of japanese girls that i see in the snowboarding magazine ads. what do you see on the hills ?

Ocean11 0 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Girls will tend to take more lessons than boys anyway methinks. What I see on the slopes depends on what I'm looking at, and I'm not really checking out the boys so much, so girls may be over-represented in my sample. But there are quite a lot of girls at it.

rach 1 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I see lots of snowboard guys out there! Agreed with Ocean on this one - the girlies are the ones who will be taking more lessons. Link to post Share on other sites
