Keeping the culture war alive at Crystal

I love it when people criticize other people for wearing what they want to wear. Whats worse?
The person who enjoys wearing the clothes or the person who takes time out of their life to focus and be negative about what other people are wearing. The latter if you ask me, kind of pathetic really.
I agree with ya buddy. People should worry about themselves.
I watched a video people should watch here: unofficialnetworks.com/shit-alta-skiers-...ow-guys-feel-107837/
Some people here are starting to sound a bit like that video, like some prejudice and stereotyping, similar to racism

I realize some people on here are probably just kidding around and don't hate snowboarders,, so don't get your panties in a bunch
And I'm not just defending snowboarders because I'm a snowboarder, I actually do both

Some of the people I most revere in the snow glisse world have mastered Alpine and AT and Tele and Snowboarding and on any given day at Crystal you will see them on skis and sometimes on a board.
We should have a similar term for these individuals as "Snowmen "doesn't seem quite right!

Didn't Kevin Costner portray a waterman in some movie?
He had gills if I remember.....Waterworld....terrible movie. One of the bigger busts in Holllywood history.

Boasting total mastery of all oceanic endeavors, the revered waterman can fish, dive, surf, windsurf, kayak, bodysurf, interpret complex weather data, save the odd drowning man, etc. Generally built like a tank and typically soft-spoken (choosing to let his actions do the talking), loner watermen fear neither tempest nor shark and rarely head for higher ground. If need be, he can survive entirely on self-harvested ocean bounty, spearing his food from the nearby reefs he'll surf over when the swell is up. He's an intense figure, idolized in the local community for his silent bravery and meteorological prowess. For example, while looking up at the sky, he says, "Approaching cold front. West-north-winds coming. The kelp patties will be jumping around 12:16 on the outgoing tide, so we'll fish until the wind switches offshore sometime around 4:19 or so."
AND
Surfers often fall victim to waterman worship, buying into the aura these guys project and embracing it as a higher state of oceanic consciousness. These false idols aside, plenty of authentic waterman still exist along shorelines worldwide. /End quote
