A rebuttle to the snowboarding is dying garbage

The only thing dying is the ability of some of our younger members to spell correctly.

A rebuttal of the rationale behind not using spell check might be in order as well.

[Here's the thing, California is a HUGE share of the snowsports industry in the US, somewhere around half. CA resorts are dominated by snowboarding, they outnumber skiers by far. Give CA 3 bad seasons and of course sales will drop. It's pretty simple./quote]

You may be overstating the Cali market a bit...

The snowboard has left the building. Ha! it's just the news cycle wrapped around the winter Olympics. You know it as hype repeated by idiots who talk about things they don't know as if they are experts. The Durango Herald to NBC, they all talked about this story, which turns out to be not true.

Maybe I had a little to drink when I posted this...

If you look at this. It shows that skiing is actually declining at a faster rate than snowboarding

It says alpine skiing had almost 3 million less participants this year than 3 years ago, while snowboarding is only down by less than 80,000.

A lot of these surveys are very biased and not completely accurate so take them how you will

The good news:
Telemark skiers are holding steady at 37.
