The example I like to use here is Skiiers vs. Snowboarders. Both are about going downhill really fast on snow, so should the all be on they all share the same site? How different could they be?

I'd argue that Snowboarders have a very different culture than Skiiers, with their own sets of terminology, equipment choices, and social norms. That's why they need a community to themselves, with their own moderators, reputation systems, and ideas of what kinds of questions they find on or off topic.
