Betty

Editors Note:
Until we got feedback from Adrienne R. we thought there was only one defintion for Betty, but now there seems to be two contridicting definitions. See her defintion below ours.

Other wise known as:

”That Betty was pretty hot, too bad she just got sprayed.”

A generic term used to describe any girl who is only snowboarding for the attention, typically from the guys.

Essentially this girl is a poser. This girl can further be identified as having no skills and no dedication to trying to learn the sport. She is typically wearing bright clothing that is very new and usually matches perfectly. Has an expensive snowboard, boots and bindings which she does not need. She is usually found on slightly harder runs, or in the park, but is sideslipping instead of carving. This girl is also probably shouting and hollering at everyone going by and flirting or bad mouthing with anyone that actually stops or slows down near her.

Your definition of a Betty is way wrong. Very few girls would just snowboard for the attention anyway, but a Betty is a positive term that means a hot girl who rips.
