Bulgaria Ski discussion board

I would have to agree with some of the comments. I think it comes down to your personality off the piste, if your rude off slope then obviously you own the mountain wether your on a tray or fence posts.
lets be honest we have all had the nemesis problem, i mean the person that allways seems to be in the way all holiday. barging in the lift cue, standing where you want to jump and just brought the last chocolate muffin on the only hillside cafe. thats more annoying than any skier in my eyes.

What happened to, and I quote "everyone can enjoy the piste" ???? As for the crapiness of bladers , I would say thats the same average with skiers and boarders - at least half the bods on the slopes at any one time are learning and falling over!! Anyway, I can't wait to look Super Gay when I try it
and Mat ... I shall be heading in your direction
Oh, and did anyone see the Olmpics coverage last night with the Snow Board Cross - only four of them on the go and they were still crashing into each other!!! ( Great to watch - you have to give them respect!) Caz

LOL Brilliant! ... posted this last night and when I get back there are a number of brilliant, well thought out comments, then it becomes a thread about why we hate bladers! Superb!

In response to some of the comments, yes boarders do have a big blind spot to the left or right, depending if you're goofy or regular, but it's couterbalanced by the fact that we can look up the hill when on our toeside. Then again it is up to the person who wants to overtake to do it safely.

As for blading, I found it quite tricky, theres no room to lean forward or back without a tumble, hats off if you can do it well.

And come on, snowboarding is just a bit cooler!
