So why not just go snowboarding by yourself? I do it all the time. Granted, I have a pretty great home mountain, but I don't have the friend circles I did in the Front Range. I've still have a ton of fun and it's great riding whatever you want without a group consensus. I would say more than half of my 50 days out this season were just me on the mountain. BC Riding is a little different, a partner is required for that, but for resort riding? I have no problems going solo. By your post, I don't think backcountry is your jam...yet.
Annoyed with Being Judged as Not Cool Enough to Snowboard with the "Cool Kids"
I hate to be that person, but one thing about snowboarding is starting to really piss me off as of late. I love to snowboard. I am and always will be a mountain girl at heart. It is terrific exercise and I enjoy being in nature during the time of the year when most people want to bundle up with a hot chocolate in the lodge or in their homes. Plus, I enjoy going into the hot tubs/saunas and enjoying a good drink and or THC with friends for after the slope shenanigans are done for the day.
You may ask, what is the problem. Well, my bone to pick is people not inviting me to snowboarding and ski outings, even my so-called friends and now ex romantic partners who were also into snowboarding. I'm not one of those girls who is interested in something only to get close to guys.
One reason I can think of people don't invite me to things is because I am neurodivergent, and working on my Masters degree. Because( most, if not all) people in America as a whole are proud to be luddite, crude, uneducated and bigoted, I can see the correlation between how people treat me and the culture at large.
I can't stand how I am judged to be less fun or "cool" because of something I didn't choose for myself. I find it terribly depressing when I see my ex partners and their new interests having the times of their lives. Also, being stuck at home kind of sucks too.
I'm not sure how to solve this issue. Sorry for the soap box, some things just needed to be said.

No problem boarding solo. I've gone solo this year at least 80% of the time.
Thanks for the suggestionSo why not just go snowboarding by yourself? I do it all the time. Granted, I have a pretty great home mountain, but I don't have the friend circles I did in the Front Range.

I spend about half or more of my days alone and I don't care whether I have my homies there or not. It's always fun to ride with a bud, but I love snowboarding so much I'll ride alone. Most of my friends (i'm 46) have quit or are too busy. Just go shred. Besides, the Lone Rider has an air of mystery!
Find new friends and stop paying attention to and caring about what your ex is doing. Snowboarding alone is fun too, I do it about 50% of the time.
I'm probably about 80% solo as well. I love the solitude of the hills, but I do chat with people on the lift though.
Happiness = Reality - Expectations
People are lame. Stop expecting things from others and you'll be happier. If you want to ride, just go ride. You might even meet someone new!

I've been riding with my daughter for the last 10 years or so now, she's 15. This year I decided to do a solo Japan trip, well part solo. Had about 4 days solo and another 4 days with a work mate who shot over. I have to say I much prefer riding with others and sharing those awesome powder days which is funny because I'm really not a fan of people. I wouldn't worry about others, you do you and if you start doing the solo trips and putting time into the mountain I've no doubt you'll meet other like minded people and pick up your own possy - especially if you're combining on-slope and off slope scenes.

Okay, so I’m not trying to upset the Apple cart here, but by any chance are you struggling to move on from relationships? All I know about you is the message you posted, but to me it comes across like you might be mad that your friends are still friends with your ex’s and/or perhaps you see your ex’s being happy and it makes you feel like you are being wronged as if they should be miserable or something. You direct the problem to being them not thinking you are cool because you say you are “neurodivergent” and then proceed to say some seriously offensive things about people… why does it make you pissed that your ex’s are not miserable? Maybe you are coming across as a crazy chick and that’s why you aren’t riding around with homies anymore. I mean, if I were on a lift with you and you started talking all judgmental about people in America the way you did in your post, I’d ghost you too.
***I assume I’m going to get blasted for this response for being mean. My bad

Yeah you sound like a big ball of fun to invite on a snowboarding trip… Maybe shift how you view those around you and they may start inviting you. You are definitely the problem here.

Well maybe I wouldn't be the judgmental one if people weren't horrible to me. Ever consider that? The egg came long before the chicken you know.“one thing about snowboarding is starting to really piss me off as of late.”

Pity you and the rest of the lot never gave me the chance to show how fun and awesome I am. Next time, take a look at the log up your ass before you notice the splinter in my eye.Yeah you sound like a big ball of fun to invite on a snowboarding trip… Maybe shift how you view those around you and they may start inviting you.

Yes, you sound totally fun and awesome.
one flew over the cuckoo's nest on this one

“Next time, take a look at the log up your ass before you notice the splinter in my eye”
Did you just fuck up a bible verse? I think it’s a log/splinter in both eyes and therefore one can’t see the splinter in another’s eye because they also have a splinter in their eye (both blind).

i'll be the mediator.
both sides are wrong.
you need to stop being ... whatever ur being
and they need to realize that you are actually going to amount to somethin in life because you are pursuing education.
if u are so devoted to get that masters why do u care about what they think
🤯

Exactly! Glad I’m not the only one that caught this!and next take a look at log in ur eye before you see the splinter in their's
For someone proclaiming to be going after a Masters degree and then putting down an entire country as being uneducated, she screwed the pooch trying to make this point.
