Probably the coolest thing ever. For all you park rats out there, get on the mountain, ski some groomers, learn how to carve, and ski some bumps. My advice to the NS crowd. This has got to be the worst thread ive ever made but im really bored

I tried shredding bumps without poles yesterday....that's a whole new experience. Fun yet extremely challenging and if you get good at it you are a baller.

^^hahahahahaha

Yeah I'm kinda used to the no poles hate, my dad was really pissed off when he saw me without poles yesterday and ended our weekend trip early because of his shitty mood (due to my lack of poles).

I love jumping off big cliffs under populated chairs.  When your standing on the lip everyones like 'OMG! Don't do it" "your gunna die" and others are like "HUCK IT."  But after you do it everyone is like holy shit and they clap from the lift and its sick.  360s unders lifts also make people go nuts even if they are really small.

and when I was little (like 5ish) I'd be really small skiing these crazy lift lines better than most regular aged people and I got ridiculous cheers the whole way down.  Best feeling ever.

One time I was jumping these cliffs while my mom was relaxing in the lodge up top and this lady was telling my mom how she saw this kid in a brown jacket and red skiing off this cliff and my mom was like, o yea, thats my son

I always try to cheer people that do sick tricks when I'm on the lift (always next to park) so I know they may feel better. It's good to land a nice trick for yourself, and it's even better to have someone recognize it personally and cheer you for it.

That's why I'm never ashamed to cheer people, even when my friends tell me to shut up, I still do it, hoping that someday, if I ever land something really great and be really proud of myself, someone else will also be, cheering me from the lift.

........is when someone goes out of their way at the end of the day to find you and tell you how amazing you ride. Now that's a great feeling.

damn. that's awesome. I'd be so freakin stoked if someone did that to me. I'd play it off as no big deal of course but inside I'd be hopping.

yeah, right after christmas they got 17 inches or something and sublette was closed for avy control and wind i think, so the line at thunder was rediculously long. This dude ripped down that line with the cliffs and everyone was screaming at him to huck it, so he stomped a huge air from one of the larger sections it was awesome. best skiing i've done there that week, so much fresh.

its amazing how the smallest thing can make or break you day.


one of the best days this yoear was when a snowboarder came out of his way to tell me he thought i was a great skier and could ride with his crew (all snowboarders) anytime.
cool when alot of the boarders at my mt hate skiers.

also when you here some one in front of you in the lift line talking about you.
"yeah i saw this kid in white skiing fucking backwards no joke"

I dont tell people but I love it when there is a cool jump or something under a chair. At my hill our park sucks so we just find hits scattered across the hill. The gapers go mad for just 1s and 3s

yeah but the worst feeling is when either they cheer for a trick you didnt do or for a trick you accidentally did.

also it pisses me off when i do stalls on spines and noobs yell "you suck! theres no way youll get air with that much speed!" because they think im trying to jump off it not stall.
