If you hate reading, there&#8217;s a video of a turkey snowboarding at Mt. Bachelor a few years ago up there instead. I&#8217;ll start:<\/p>\n<p>1. It makes winter suck less. Could you imagine living somewhere cold and snowy and not snowboarding? I\u00a0would go nuts.<\/p>\n<p>2. It&#8217;s fun. Not sure if you&#8217;ve seen any marketing campaigns or snowboard videos lately, but having fun with your friends is all the rage. Luckily if you don&#8217;t have any friends, it&#8217;s also fun to snowboard solo.<\/p>\n<p>3. It&#8217;s a global family. When people in snowboarding are in need, the community comes out in force to support them.<\/p>\n<p>4. It&#8217;s a good excuse to travel. And going on trips to do any sort of boardsport is so much better than just going to be a tourist.<\/p>\n<p>5. Powder Days. Self explanatory.<\/p>\n<p><em>But enough about me, I also asked a few of snowboarding&#8217;s elite:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>6. <strong>Todd Richards<\/strong> &#8211; Cause it&#8217;s not skiing&#8230; oh wait.<\/p>\n<p>7. <strong>Dustin Craven<\/strong> &#8211; &#8216;Cause its fun and keeps me from being a high school drop out working on a oil rig.<\/p>\n<p>8. \u00a0<strong>Jesse Paul<\/strong> &#8211; We get to be dancers without the stigmatization of being dancers.<\/p>\n<p>9. <strong>Desiree Melancon<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0I&#8217;m thankful for snowboarding because without it I wouldn&#8217;t have anything.<\/p>\n<p>10. <strong>Max Warbington<\/strong> &#8211; I would like to thank snowboarding for giving me the opportunity to create something people enjoy and that I can be proud of. As well as the friends it has provided me, the chicks and the parties.<\/p>\n<p>11-17. <strong>Danyale Patterson<\/strong> &#8211; If it wasn&#8217;t for snowboarding I would probably be doing something meaningful with me life. Snowboarding keeps me wasted. I&#8217;m thankful for snowboarding because of all the unique, intelligent people I get to surround myself with. Snowboarding keeps me sharp. So much pussy in the board world. So much dick in the board world.<\/p>\n<p>18.<strong> Kyle Clancy<\/strong>&#8211; I&#8217;m thankful that people are finally realizing the importance of style and choosing unique tricks, the Olympics are bad for the sport and that there is much to learn from the pros that came before.
