CAN WE ALL GET ALONG???

I have been in the ski scene since the 80's and seen a lot of changes in those years. One thing that baffles me is that there is still a separation between skiers and snowboarders. Why is it that we still have trouble getting along? Skiers have to face the fact that snowboarding rejuvenated our sport in the 80's and 90's. The advent of parks and pipes sparked a influx of new ideas and technology, not to mention a new attitude. Most of the tension originates from the young crowd, the weekend warriors and the park rats. From what I have seen the hardcore free riders all get along no matter what they are riding. I think that much like people should not be judged by the color of their skin, we also shouldn't judge fellow snow goers by what they have on their feet.
