I definitely party harder through the winter. Theres something about waking up to a little hair of the dog in your coffee and instantly coming back to life halfway through your first run that totally kicks ass. A little dank on the ride up never hurts. During and after lunch I keep that good enough to drive but feel good buzz where 2 more beers would be too many until the lifts close. After that, if I'm tired I go home, if not I hit the bar and finish the night trying to take peoples money playing pool. I also love going home with some friends and drinking beers watching snowboarding videos getting pumped for the next day (I usually get 3 or more days a week, usually in a row).
As far as snowboarders being a partier sport? No, or atleast not anymore than anymore sport. Skiers have been living a party lifestyle for over 50 years, hence the term ski-bum. Dirtbikers, skydivers, snowmobile riders, etc. There is a group of partiers in every sport, take golf for example lol. There might be more of a punk or hip-hop influence on snowboarding than a lot of other sports, but it is a young sport itself and generally partaken in by younger people who have hip hop and punk etc. influences from elsewhere. This really has nothing to do with the sport, nowadays people from all walks of life are into riding, where in the beginning it probably was more dominantly people into skateboarding that took it up when they couldn't skate in the winter.
So no, we don't all party lol
I think it was Frank Sinatra that said "I feel bad for people who don't drink because when they wake up in the morning that is the best they are going to feel all day long."
