Jack M Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I was in uniform with my CVA group in the cut line. Ski instructor comes up behind us and says "hey look, hardboot boarders!" I said "haha, alpine snowboarders." Him: "no, hardboot boarders!" Me: "are you correcting me?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.E Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 It's all just sticks glued to some plastic. I don't get worked up about it, personally. I haven't regularly skied in 20 years, and I still use "skiing" as short hand for controlled falls down a mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode up the lift once with an instructor who refused to acknowledge that I was riding a snowboard. She called it a "carveboard" and insisted that I didn't know what I was talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if she thinks Ross Rebagliati and Jasey-Jay Anderson won their gold medals in the Olympic sport of carveboarding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Back to funny stuff... Last night we had instructors training, with multiple groups and different topics. One of the students from the Level 2 Prep group pointed towards us (Intro Carving group) and my rig: "What is THAT?". His trainer (also my former student), said: "Oh, that's a carving board". I was on a Dynastar 3800 with 21/3 angles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Waiting for departure of our heli ski group, our guide was checking everyone's gear. Then she goes: "That's the right board!" (4807 178 with plates). Later, she proceded to tell everyone how one gets much better performance from plates and hard boots.

bumpyride Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Sadly those who are attending MCC will not be able to add anything to this thread. Have fun and enjoy the wide open plains, and I would imagine no lift lines. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybergmann Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Heard it from the chair... finished carving a steep pitch that runs under the chair with my BXFR and stopped only to hear applause and a "respect!" from above. I'll take it!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
