I also think its the age. They're more willing to take risks and cut people off. My problem is you never see them coming. I've never done battle with one but I'd have no problem jamming their board with my pole....people love that LOL.

Gloop has a good idea there. My husband suggested that the next time I (see) a boarder heading for me, just stick out the pointy end of my ski pole in his direction. That would help him decide which course to take. I talked to a ski patrol guy on the lift last yr about it who also loved to board. He said that boarders have a huge blind side and that sometimes they just don't see the people they run into. I asked him about all of that falling and sitting down they do and wondered out loud if they actually liked all of that going down and getting back up stuff. He didn't have an answer, but admitted that most accidents on the mt could be attributed to boarders.
