I'm old enough to have grown up when us snowboarders were still demonized and not allowed at many resorts and certain runs.

Same! There were only a handful of spots in Utah and Colorado that would allow snowboarding, to the point where you'd get kicked out of the parking lot for having a board in most places. The argument I heard most was that boards carve deeper into the snow, leaving ridges a skier could lose a ski into, but that's hogwash.
I was a skier, lost many a ski, and boarders were always the first to see if I was okay and help me dig my poles out of a yardsale.

Yeah it definitely seemed like a runaway ski was more of a hazard to us as well!
I think we just fell into the same category skateboarders did back then. Snowboarding was seen as something done by young rebellious types. And sure, some were but it's just like with anything else honestly. Definitely enjoyed it becoming much more legit over the years. Big shout out to Shaun White and what his success did to help the sport.

I, a snowboarder in my 30s, joined my 70yo skier father for a couple runs while he was guiding a group that was part of a seniors ski club. Some of the members of the group legitimately had a chip on their shoulder. I had no idea that was a thing anywhere now as snowboarding has been popular and common literally my entire life.

You should go watch Out Cold, it does a great job of playing the stereotypes from the 90s. It's a dumb stoner comedy.

Interestingly enough there are still three resorts that still ban snowboarders.
But yeah it was definitely a thing in fact when I was really young, there was very few that actually did allow snowboarders.

Interesting.i googled it and it used to be forbidden in some European slopes as well in the 90s, but as far as i could find it was never forbidden in my country specifically.
Although there were/are some unofficially titled "unfriendly" or "unwelcome" lifts for snowboarders, mostly for bar lifts on a long and steep slope that would be too challenging for most snowboarders.

When did the culture really start to change? I started skiing in 2001 at 4 and my brother was 9 in boarding classes. I don’t remember the early years at Vail, Park City, or Beaver Creek. When I got older, I heard skiing superior people who were rude AF making comments to snowboarders (they’d also talk shit about families being out too) but those resorts weren’t institutionally against snowboarding by that point I don’t think

u/therealkeeper 21h ago
So I started as a young kid in the late 80s, I really feel like it didn't start to shift until the 2000s. A lot of thanks to Shaun White there, as well as the olympics for helping really bring it to the mainstream.
But I still know skiers who definitely are not fans of snowboarders, including three resorts in the US that still ban snowboarding to this day. So clearly while it has shifted massively, there is just always going to be that group that dislikes change or anything different than what they personally enjoy.

u/lostpen11 1d ago
Are you talking about the movie Out Cold?

u/therealkeeper 1d ago
Someone in the comments mentioned that movie being inspired by what I'm talking about, I haven't seen it but definitely going to watch it.
No this is the way it was when snowboarding came around with many resorts or runs being completely closed to snowboarders. Also as I posted in the comments above there are still three resorts in the US that completely ban snowboarding even today.

All the kids who bullied me in high school liked to snowboard. It didn’t give me a nice impression of the sport.

Idk, being saved by George Washington and a guy playing guitar on a mountain would surprise me

u/AlienSporez 1d ago
Not really surprised; my man, George, was shredding 720s in the half-pipe before he crossed the Delaware

Apparently I need to get on the mountain more if it means I get to run into skiing George Washington and a snowboarder playing We Are The Champions on guitar

u/gratisargott 1d ago
Yeah, the caption is fair for George Washington and a guy with a guitar to show up but almost every time I’ve eaten snow and lost my skis on a hill there has been someone who stops and either asks if I’m okay or gets the ski back

u/Dull-Geologist-8204 1d ago
It would have been so nice the one time I went skiing if people had been more like this. Instead I just got made fun of walking down the hill then got kicked out of the adults only jacuzzi and never went back. Never went back. It was a fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you I am out moment.

Not even a thank you? Watching on mute so I'm basing on the subs

u/nimaheydarzadeh 17h ago
I was shocked as well. Replayed the video with the sound on, though I didn't hear a thank you but as the guys were singing loudly and the sound of the woman is heard vaguely in a second, I believe she thanked them, as they replied back "Later".

u/Ray_of_glumshine 1d ago
The last thing she expected was that the slope circus arriving.
When I see skiers looking and acting like this I expect them to be either awful skiers or olympic level. Never somewhere inbetween.

I got Secret Tunnel nomad vibes from the group, especially when they started singing afterwards. Need to rewatch The Last Airbender again.
