These Boots Are Made for Walking. So is the Board.

Here’s one advantage of snowboarding over skiing: it’s a lot easier to carry snowboarding gear when you’re lost.

Today I went to a ski area that has several non-contiguous parking lots. At the end of the day, I headed to what the parking lot that I thought was either the one my car was in, or close to it.

Wrong.

I looked in the parking lot. My car was nowhere to be found. So I kept walking to the next lot. Nope. And another. Wrong.

Eventually I found my car, after I forget how much walking. But it was not a strenuous walk by any means. I could easily carry my board, and walking in the snowboarding boots was not a problem.

Now, substitute “two heavy skis plus two poles” for “snowboard,” and “ski boots” for “snowboarding boots,” and you have yet another advantage for snowboarding.
