"Walking in ski boots actually makes you a better skier"

Might be true, IDEK. Sounds like it's not tho.

went skiing with a friend from school.
I'm skiing switch pretty fast, then my edge catches and i go down HARD.
Slide down the hill, roll over and ride away in a little pain.
kids says "I was going to snow you, but you got up. That's what you do right? snow people when they fall down?"
I give him a 3 minute lecture on the chairlift about how that is wrong.

Ski instructor (young, probably 16) comes in and buys Ramp Corks (lol) and then is looking at bindings. He's looking at the Griffons and he asks me "Why is there a spring in there??" referring to the heel piece because it is visible.

Some dude came in today bitching because there was a rip in his new Patagonia pants. The rip is clearly from either an edge or a tree or something. He's talking to the managers say that "I paid $300 for these pants they should be indestructible" etc etc. It was a tiny slice, like an inch long. Some people...

I was skiing today, an old guy on straight skis and sunglasses points at my rocker2's and says "son, I think your skis are bent, maybe you should take them into the shop and get them straightened out... Follow me if you don't know the way!"

Walked into the chalet tonight and heard this dialogue between a Mother and Son.

Son: "Mom can I do snowboarding?"
Mother: "When you're a teenager you can do snowboarding."

I was laughing my ass off for a solid 3 minutes, then, I got this deep sinking feeling inside of me and started to quiver.

Gaper on rental directional skis, brags about how he skis park. I ask what he can do. He replies "I like to hit jumps that are to the side of slide rails."

Holy shit it was like a blast from the past yeasterday. I was going up the lift right underneath our park, with a dad and his like 8yr old daughter. She was asking him if they could go in the park, and the dad replies "oh no honey, I don't think they let skiers in those things"

This happened to me yesterday at lovely Mount Jore while in the lift line for the triple chair.

*Myself and two of my friends get in line after the liftie checks out passes, and another group of 3 slide behind us and accidentally steps on our skis*

Man: "Whoa there, fancy skis."

*myself and my friends look back*

Man: "Do you do any flips and whilry-doos on those skis?"

Me: "I'm not really good at it, I just film a lot in the park."

*I turn toward two of my friends and start lol'ing*

Man: *turns to his maybe wife* "those are the guys that do those 360's and flippy-do's.

*myself and my friends sit down on the chair, then I proceed to lose it laughing*

I like reading these stories as long as they are variated a little.

As long as the same piece of shit is painted over each time, I thoroughly enjoy it.

Gaper: "Who was that snowboarder in the olympics with dreadlocks and really baggy snowpants?"

Me: "Oh, Henrik Harlaut? He's a skier."

Gaper: "No..I'm pretty sure he was a snowboarder."



After that was said I just gave up.

Got on the lift the other day with some older geezers and as we got on the guy next to me starts to comment on my armada ar7s. He said, "is armada like a model of K2 skis? I've never seen those kind before, are they like a special-made local model?"

I just chuckled and told him that, yee gods!, armada is in fact it's own ski company. After that him and his friends chatted about the old days using skinny skis for the rest of the ride.

I just got injured for the second time in a season and this girl at my school is like "You're not that good I bet I'm better than you I've skied down black diamonds"

Another time I was skiing with these 2 guys that seemed like they just weren't that good and I wasn't using poles that day they told me "Skiing with poles is so much better you can do helicopters with them" also one of them kept telling me he could do 5's. Later that week I saw him on 3 ft wide box and he could only do a 180.

One time I really ate shit bad on a rail. I was sure I fractured a rib but I only ended up bruising them. After I fell, I had to lay there for a minute because it hurt real bad to breathe. A group of guys came over to see if I was okay. I told them I was good and that I just needed a minute. I heard one of the guys yell oh shit a couple seconds later! I look over and this kid hit the fucking rail. I was about two feet away from it with a groups of guys around me. It should have been pretty obvious something was going on. He didn't hit any of us but one of the guys chased him down and I guess the kid said something along the lines of "maybe you should learn how to ski." It was pretty retarded.

I just thought it was really cute how people at school would talk to me about some of the olympic freeskiers.
friend: "I really liked the guy with the dreadlocks and falling down pants, who did you like?"
me: "Everyone killed it, but you can't go wrong with dollo."
friend: "who's dollo? was he the guy who saved the puppies?"
