Snowboarding Still Sliding In Popularity

by The Editors on January 26, 2015

Down-GraphGuess the cool kids aren’t down with the snowboards anymore. Seems the number of snowboarders fell off by 28 percent between 2003 and 2013, according to a report from the “often misled by their own survey results” National Sporting Goods Association and quoted by the Associated Press.

The decline in snowboarding continued last season, with snowboarders making up just under 28 percent of visitors to U.S. resorts, down from about 31 percent the year before, according to the Kottke National End of Season Survey for 2013-14.

Not to worry. As soon as all the fickle civilians stop cluttering up the snow we’ll head back out for a couple runs, we promise.
