Snowboarders no longer need to worry about scratching Dad’s Range Rover, they can afford to wreck their own now!

Fairfax writer MissSnowItAll, has written a piece dismissing the common notion that snowboarders are young, out of control punks.

Not to mention that boarders are getting older and are quite well paid, earning more than US$100,000 (AU$104,000) a year. The article is well worth a read, and if you want to get angry, have a read of the comments too. Check it out over here.
