Frank wanted to know if I thought snowboarders were taking over.
I asked everybody I met on the chairlift, plus doing a rough count. The general consensus is that most folks who learn to ski first, then board (that is boarders over 25) switch back and forth, and that lots of boarders learn to ski at some point---so no, skiiing is healthy and not in danger of dying out.
Skiier-to-boarder ratio on the mountain: 4/1.
All my kids (and their Dad) snowboard. I don't think any of them have ever been on skiis. I don't go near the mountain.

I believe on that too. A snow lover will always search or try new variation in connection to what he really love. I will perhaps do the same.
