Any mountain i go to i always get shit for skiing switch out of the park, anywhere, some ski patrol or lifty questions me/"repremands" me and i really cant talk back because i dont feel like getting my pass clipped, but the stupid gappers are causing more harm then me

That sucks, just say that you can ski backwards better than anyone can ski forwards. thats what I would say.

where are these places?
Ive never heard that anywhere ive ever beeen.
Usually the hill staff is trying to race you switch down the hill. I dont understand why anyone would say that to you unless you ran into some old lady or hit a tree.
I d write a letter, an angry one.

if someone complains ski past them swithc and batwing them so they have to look, then when the turn to avoid your scrotum yell at the top of your lungs "LOOK WHERE YOUR FUCKING GOING!!!!!!" and finish it off with "BITCH" and then ski off in a mad tuck

if i have kids i will teach them all to ski backwards in the beginning, so if the ski patroller yells at them they can be like "fuck you, i dont know how to ski forwards"

almost one of the greatest moments ever for me...i was skiing down this gaper filled hill and the loser cuts me off completely. if i sucked i would have been out forever. so i yell at him "learn how to ski asshole" he yells "you faggot" so i get into switch and just stare right at him and say "your turn" the look on his face was priceless

Once i hit like a twelve year old kid who was snowboarding when i was riding switch, and i knew it would look bad so i apologized like a trillion times to him and his dad, and both of them honestly looked more scared that i was gonna try to kill them or something than either was worried about the kid getting hurt, it was weird.

The people at my mtn. are tyte about it mostly. I've never gotten any complaints, last weekend I was lfyin down switch and near the lifts the mtn. safety were just saying slowdown they never said anything about switch. so the nex time I just went slower switch (still moderately fast) and they never said a word to me.
