Snowboards are getting fancy! Im not sure how I feel about this. Here are a couple points about how this could be a good thing or a bad thing.

Bad Thing

• its going to attract more people to the mountain… which mean longer lift lines. Now the people that have never been snowboarding for reasons like “they wouldnt be caught dead on a non-designer name snowboard, actually have a designer name snowboard.
• snowboard prices are going to go up. Designer name means high prices.

Good

• the sports growing, maybe pros will get bigger pay checks?
• snowboarding and skiing has always been a high fashion industry but to a different world. Like punk rockers and hipsters, snowboarding is now in a way being considered a fashionable industry..  sorta cool - that one could go either way…

Any who, check the link for more pics and different board versions.
