Article: “Snowboarders Getting Older”
Now this article made me crack up!
“Although it has the image of being a young, trendy sport, an increasing number of snowboarders hitting the slopes are pushing 30 or older, according to the Canadian Ski Council…. Now 35% of Canadian snowboarders are between the ages of 24 and 64. The number of older snowboarders has steadily increased over the last few years.”
I’ve definitely noticed this on the mountains myself! Sure, there is still a great number of teenagers on the hill, but I think I’ve noticed a shift in the mountain “demographics.” I do see and talk to a fair number of both male and female snowboarders that seem to be 30+.
Well, maybe they’re just weatherbeaten and haven’t aged well. Who am I to judge 
Nonetheless, I’ll be watching out for this trend further, as I go riding this season. Should be interesting!
Stumble It!
