Most embarrassing thing you've ever done skiing...

I was up at the mountain today and I was near the bottom where all the run-off is, skiing switch because that's the only way to make that shit fun. Because it's pretty easy terrain and I'm pretty good switch I was only really checking behind me every 5-10 seconds, and right under the lift I hit a slow sign dead on... flipped over it, bent my pole pretty much in half and ejected from one of my skis. Pretty epic haha.

Writing this I remembered another time over Christmas break. Me and my friend were skiing and saw these kids who had been cutting people off and making asses of themselves all day about to jump what had to be the stupidest cliff ever from the chair.. it was like two feet and there were all sorts of rocks and shit below it, so we started chanting "Jea jea jea jea!" at them really loud. We ski down to where they are and, as expected, they were still sitting around being idiots, so one of them challenged me to hit this little jib on the side of the trail. Given that we'd sort of been making fun of them, I decided to do something that was somewhat impressive, so I shoot a little bit more to the right than I should have so I could gap this log with one of the slowest, steeziest 180s I had ever pulled, but the problem was I went too far to the right, landed on this lip that I wasn't expecting, and ejected from both of my skis right in front of them.. sigh.

sThis one time i was doing butters and little 180's and 360's on this flat little part of the trail while i was buttering i was skiing switch and i did the splits and hit my head so i was like out of it and i got up and fell straight back down.

Also i was doing this 180 off of a fairly big jump and i missed my grab about 90 degrees so i was waving my arms around and i hit the landing and just ragdoll  and hit my head so i get up and get my skis. so i was doing butters to regain some confidence and fall and hit my head again right in front of this big group

so yesterday at my little mountain, they were having a race and during the intermition, they let the public race so my and my snowboarder friend go to race while all the racers and their parents are on the side watching.  so my buddy and i decide that i will race switch and he will too and we'll see who wins. so im standing there thinking im the shit and how much cooler i am than all those gay racers, and so when i come out of the gate i pop to switch and make it around like two gates, and by this time im hauling ass, and i couldnt make it around the third gate and one of my skis went into the gate and it flipped me around and took my ski off and i ended up ragdolling down the race hill in front of everybody...then i had to hike up and get my ski, but it was funny i guess

Bombing down a green run switch, making massive arrogant turns under the chairlift between the support poles, pretty much thinking I was the shit: Then I caught an edge and yardsale'd. Talk about embarrassing.

After a decent few hours in the park, people started to watch me, and as I was going down the hill to hit a 65' gap, while skating my fucking skis crossed and I fell flat on my face. God dammit that sucked.

The other week I was bored skiing towards the lift on the easy slope. So I decided to have a spin off with my little brother. So as I was spinning on flat ground, just continuously reverting, I caught an edge after like 4 rotations and was just so dizzy I went straight into the ground. Pretty bad, it actually hurt too.

Last year one of my friends decided to try a C rail for the first time, fell about halfway through and nutted himself. He sat there lying in the fetal position for a good five minutes, finally I decided to take another run and he was still there curled up when I got back haha... Fortunately it was late in the day, I don't think too many other people saw him.

It was early season so I had my shitty rock skis with the dins all messed up on them. We were coming down one of the bottom runs by the lift and my friend stopped at the end and I thought it would be funny to throw an edge and spray him with snow. Unfortunately by bindings sucked so my ski ripped off and I ended up flying into my friend at almost full speed. I shoulder checked him and we both went sailing past the lift line in front of everyone.

One time a while back i was skiing at Stratton with my friend and our car was parked in the Sunbowl Lot so we decided to race down Church-hill downs, a long flat run that goes on forever. My friend is a muscular kid, and he skates really fast and always beats me so I was hauling ass. I swerved around this one old lady and looked back to see if I could see him and ran into a rock. I then proceded to double eject, flip over the rock, and dive headfirst into a tree. I was on the ground until ski patrol came. I broke my ski. It sucked

haha yeah i was there for that, funny shit.  What made it even funnier was that it was you're first day there caus you came late to camp and the coaches were all saying "no don't do that, you're not ready, try it tomorrow when you're more warmed up,  you'll fall, etc..." then you go and decide to stick it in their faces by getting it and you eat shit, soooo fucking funny.

i was doing 3s on flat ground (not butter 3s, just 3s) and i saw this dude i know on the lift. so i go "HEY JOHNNY!! CHECK this out!!" naturally, i catch my edge and die. humiliation not only from little johnny, but from everyone else on the lift. i skied away, holding my head in shame, only to hit a fallen child.

i was skiing a relatively flat trail, and cut over a little jump to ski next to this girl, and there was a pole on the ground and one ski got caught and it re-directed one ski to wear it was opposite of a pizza, and i spread eagled into a tree right before the jib i was going to use to get to the other side of this trail to this girl... it hurt bad.

i dont think its to embarrassing, but i was at sugarbush this past weekend and alot of the lifts are really low, especially the park this so i was jumping off all over to get to some of the glades and stuff, but i jumped off the park lift right onto the top of the pipe and a mom came up and flipped on me telling me i was setting a bad example for her kids...i was like uhhh 14 y/o in xxl outerwear thinking their thug isnt a bad example, then i looked at myself and realized i wasnt one to speak

I was up at crystal mountain and there was quite a few people in the park. One of the employees was walking around taking pictures for the website I think. So I go up to slide a flat rail and he walks up to it and squats down to get a picture of me hitting it. As soon as I hit the rail I slide out and eat shit right as he is taking pictures...it was pretty embarassing

I like this one it's the best

But for my embarassing moment - one time I decided to hit a gap that was just built, it was two mounds of snow on a flat. I completley underestimated it and landed going uphill on the second mound, both skis poped off and i went sailing over the landing and landed on my face

last spring at the bottom of chair 6 in mammoth, the plastic fenceing they put up at the bottom of the park was sagging really low and everybody was poping over it. so I decided to go for it and popped way to early, my tips went straight into the fence and I did a front flip over it and completly yard saled. This all occured right under the lift and infront of the lift line and sun deck where everybody was eating lunch, I got a nice round of applause from everybody.
