Following another ski holiday where I had to endure endless moaning from certain skiers about snowboarders, and also went to a place where I wasn’t even allowed to snowboard as it was for skiers only (Deer Valley / Alta in Utah), I have come up with a new word and would like it entered in the dictionary (as our friends use it):

snowmophobia sno-mo-fo-bee-arr

A deep resentment of a snow sport using different equipment to navigate the mountain other than the equipment used by the snowmophobic individual. Is usually as a result of snow sport envy. The snowphobic person may have seen users of different equipment performing a far more visually effective style, be able to manouevre in powder and trees with ease, and perform graceful aerial manouevres at leisure; whilst his/her own ability is limited to purely making some turns down a slope. This lures the snowphobic person to the opposing sport, however the individual feels he/she cannot change at too late a time in life and so a deep resentment builds and a state of denial is entered.
