Basically put snowboarding and skiing are two different animals and each excel in different terrain and with a different style. Most the people who put down snowboarding either have never done it or have not done it enough to enjoy the black diamonds with ease. Same goes for those who slam skiing.
If you want to ride bumps and go crazy fast, grab a pair of skis if you want to ride the phat powder and tight tree lines then ride a snowboard. This is not to say one can't do the others job, just saying each of them excel in their respective terrain.
