Like the Montagues and Capulets (mountain version), snowboarders and skiers have long loved a good feud.
But if you’re sick of your skier buddies winding you up when they’ve given you yet another lift on the flat (blame the resort builders not the riders!), here’s a reminder of why you’ll always be cooler than them.
1) Our ancestors looked like this…
And this…
2) Where as a skier’s closest kin is these guys…
Or this nifty little troupe…
3) When they walk in ski boots, they look like this…
4) Within a week on a board, most of us can ride powder.
5) A skier’s learning curve is a little steeper…
6) And our snowboard never flies off our feet.
7) Our movies have always been better…
8) And we’re so badass we’re still banned in some US resorts.
9) This is us at the Olympics…
10) This is skiing…
11) Kim Kardashian skis…
12) So does George Osborne…
And with that we rest our case.
