People never ask me whether I ski or snowboard. As soon as I tell them I ride over at Bear Mountain they automatically assume I snowboard. I hate that shit.

I have said word for word what you posted, thats why we should call twin tips, skiboards. and skiboards, skiblades or fruitboots or what ever you feel like.

Haha, people think I'm a snowmobiler more than they think I'm a skier, especially when in town because they see the full face and instantly think "Snowmobile!". No, skiing trees is scary enough even without the two (out of 6) concussions I've had because of them.

first i say that i ski, then if they say thats gay, then explain how gapers are the only ones on the mountain who hate on the other sport.
then if they dont get it i say that skiing has changed since the last time they went skiing on a family vacation 4 years ago.

i agree with all of you, but i just pray that newschool skiing doesnt turn into snowboarding in the fact that 90 percent of boarders on the hill are posers

I don't get the hating on snowboarding, my best buddy who I ride with the most is a boarder. It doesn't matter what size and amount of planks you ride, just as long as you can have a good time shredding.

yeah whenever i tell people i ski, they're like "oh man you should try snowboarding, you can do all kinds of tricks and grind and stuff!"

so i need to explain today's generation of twin-tip skiiers and explain how it is much better than boarding. (not having to sit and work on your bindings before every run, how skis will actually release off your feet if you bail, reducing injury, and so on.)

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT, YOU FEEL GAY ADMITING THAT YOU SKI??? AND YOU LIKE TO SKI?? MAYBE YOU SHOULD SMOKE SOME POLE, IF SOMETHING YOU LIKE TO DO MAKES YOU FEEL GAY!!

if someone asks me if i ski or board, i'm usually pretty stoke because it means they probably also slide snow and i have something to talk to them about. BUT you guys enjoy taking in the ass, bitches
