Snowboarder Sitting Behind Killington Peak

Not sure if this is just another Google goof or what. But I was looking at Killington on Google Earth and came across this:

There's actually a picture of a snowboarder sitting (near the edge of the trail and above a lip, amazingly :wink: ) if you click the marker. Odd, but a feature from Panaramio, I suppose.

That is what I love about snowboarding .. sometimes you can just sit down and take in the view ...

Love the attitude!

Or you end up being discussed by crumudgony skiers on internet chat boards...

i sit on the trail sometimes when i ski. however when this happens it normally isnt by choice and my ski's are typically lost in the powder somewhere

I like snowboarders...Think that I wouldn't like being strapped to one big board. As for sitting...you can sit all you want...just try not to sit in the middle of the trail with your 5 closest friends!

Cool.... As long as you don't stop on the sides of the trail where all the good snow is with all your friends..

I was asked once by a skier "why do snowboarders sit down on the trail all the time?" My answer was "because we can" ... yeeaahhhh

Or because we can't stand in one spot too long with one board and no poles.

After 20 years if skiing I started snowboarding this year, I don't think I could go back. I sat down saturday at wildcat and just enjoyed the sun, the snow, and one hell of a view of tucks. I never would have done that on skis. The funny part is that I was thinking about the comments I get from people about sitting in the middle of the trails, and pushing all the good snow off the trails.
