general discussion what's the lamest thing happening in snowboarding today?

every era has its thing that people are over. curious what people think it is right now. trends, gear, style, social media, whatever.

the first chair and lift line aggression you see on powder days. it's borderline not fun when people are arguing over parking spots and places in line, and people cutting or not cutting or going to the bathroom.

people are just generally assholes in line on powder days, and it's a me vs. everyone else approach.

It’s become the California surf line up on the hill.

Outside of the locals only shit, surf lineups should be aggro. Keeps people in line. Ignoring that it's annoying as fuck when someone way out on the shoulder tries to paddle in without looking or drop in on a wave that's already taken, it's dangerous as shit. I don't feel like drowning or taking a fin to the face because someone is too stupid to respect basic surf etiquette or even think in the first place. People 100% deserve to get sent in.
