1985 CBC Anti-snowboarding News clip - Mt Seymour, BC - Snowboarding Forum

SB4L · 02-13-2010, 11:44 AM

If you haven't seen this video in its entirety, its worth a watch for a good laugh. It's especially funny if you ride Seymour in this era, where they are now considered the more board-friendly mountain on the north shore.

**Link updated 01/31/2013 - The clip used to specify 1985 as the date, now it just says "1990's" so who really knows. But it sure looks like 1985.**

Also look at 1:25 the neon skiers in the background loading the lifts by side-stepping up that hill - priceless!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I just did.

edit: at 3:48 of this youtube clip from the Forum movie - That there is a clip of this original. Thanks to nitroboarder for reminding me what movie it was in.

Yeah I recognized parts of it, didn't remember it was from THAT, thanks I'll have to dig up my copy and watch.

And yeah in some ways, they actually had a legit case against snowboarders when the gear was so primitive, it definitely looks way less in control than today's standards.

Epic video.

Pure win.

I bet that guy in the last part of the clip is a pretty angry person nowadays. There are only, what, 2 or 3 resorts that still ban snowboarders. I'm guessing he has a season pass at one.

I bet all the skiers back then thought snowboarding would disappear soon if they defended their hills...
