Can't we all just get along?
I really don't understand why there seems to be segregation in ski/snowboard videos. This does not seem to me to be an accurate representation of what I see on the hills. OK I guess no one wants to watch a video of a bunch of shmos running amok around there local ski hill. But for the most part I think everyone does ride the lift and play together nicely. Does that change when you start jet setting around the world and take the heli to your favorite peak? Idk, stupid media...

I hear you, but I gotta say, no matter how out going and friendly I try to be when on the lift or hanging with skiers, I often get this vibe that I have to say something to gain their respect before they'll talk to me. Most of the time they will not initiate a conversation. I almost always have to be the first to say hello and ask how their day is going. It does suck that so many boarders give us all a bad name, especially when in reality a D-bag is a D-bag, and a lot of them ski as well. Skiers need to realize that a lot of our attitude toward skiers comes from their attitude toward us. It's not like we were welcomed with open arms when the sport was new. In the end, respect gets respect. Ski or ride well, and with common courtesy, be friendly, and people will be surprised at how far it goes to make the whole experience better.
