Skiing looks 'gay'?

I'll tell you what looks lame - a chubby snowboarder sliding slowly straight down a black diamond run with the look of a dazed cow on his face, not even attempting to turn and carve down the slope.

I saw that today, and it frustrated me.

And people badmouthing poles have obviously never used them. They're very useful, especially for stabbing annoying loudmouths nearby.

You know, the idea that snowboarding is cooler that people who've never tried either sport have is one of the reasons I despise snowboarding culture. People like that chubbo thinking they're cool.

As for all you people scorning skiing, I'll race you on any slope of any mountain and win.
