Replying to New Yorkers...

don't know any thing about skiing. i live in brooklyn (long drive up to waitsfeild VT) and noone in my school knows anything about skiing. it's half funny half annoying, they ask me what type of skiing i do and i say bumps, big mountain, park, etc... then they ask me questions like do u do areals? i say no its a different type of skiing. They ask if my brother does areals and i say no its a diffferent type of skiing. and the funny thing is when they ask me how to do a trick. does anyone else have this problem?
