V 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 If you could choose, would you want a resort to be skier-only or snowboarder-only? I know it's probably correct to come out and say you don't mind and we're all the same, but if you were totally honest and if you are a skier would you prefer a place to be skiers only (and the same if you are a boarder)? For reasons of lines going down, moguls, or any other.... Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Hard enough to to co-ordinate everyone's days off and without thinking about who can ride what where. Those elitist resorts stress me out. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Dont care as I love riding with boarders like Davo and Snowglider. I just wish both skiers and boarders would LOOK where the **** their riding. Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Well the voting is 2:2 so far. Hmmm. I know some skiers who aren't keen on being on slopes that have lots of snowboarders - sitting down in the middle of the slope, riding in the way, etc. So I think quite a few people probably give a poo. Let's see how the anonymous votes go. Link to post Share on other sites

montoya 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 is this a trick question? Link to post Share on other sites
V 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 No it's not a trick question and not meant to cause a fuss either! Just an honest question that's all. Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 er, no. that would automatically halve the number of friends that I ride with. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I think it's OK that skiers and snowboarders can ride at the same resorts. But boarders should have priority access to lifts and powder, and should be served bigger portions in the restaurant. Also skiers should have to nod affably to passing snowboarders, and there ought to be a skip or something outside facilities for them to keep their jumble of equipment out of the way of snowboards. Maybe skiers could show their gratitude to snowboarders for keeping the resorts alive by putting in an hour or two after closing time with shovels to flatten the moguls back down. Live and let live is what I say! Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I would make it only for those guys on snow scooters and ban them everywhere else Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Snowboarders may have voluntarily retarded themselves but that’s no reason for exclusion. I had to change a few of the words in the philosophy below but the principles are the same. It’s all about including those less able and less fortunate than yourself. Our philosophy People with a snowboarding disability have the right: To be treated with respect and dignity To have a say in their own lives To live, learn, work and enjoy life as part of the snow sliding community To have support that meets their goals and aspirations To be part of a snow sliding family To make sure this happens IHC will (ski resorts should) Value the voice, and advocate for the rights, of people with a snowboarding disability Advocate with and support families Promote inclusion Involve people who use services in decisions about their lives Recognise the importance of families in decision making Provide support that promotes self development and independence Treat people who use services and their families with respect Respect the cultural values of each person and their family Promote international conventions and laws http://www.ihc.org.nz/ Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I'd choose for the resort to be closed for everyone else apart from myself and friends, whether they be skiers or snowboarders. Link to post Share on other sites

kkk 7 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 There is a market for skiers-only (and snowboard-only I presume) places. I know a few families who go to them with their children mainly because they are skier-only. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Could we have a ban on entire elemtary schools going to the resorts, slowly going down the mountain like ducklings following mother duck on skis? Newbee snowboarders are admittedly irritating but these mass youth skiers are suge' irritating. Can't they have there own little place to learn? I'm insensitive yet unapologetic.

Sam The Eagle's Brother 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I know a couple with a young kid who are the same kkk. There seems to be a few resorts that are really popular with schools. When I went to Shiga kogen I was surprised at how many there were there - I think more than half of the people on the slopes were school groups Link to post Share on other sites
