Today at Alta I was riding up the lift with some random guys, and they unleashed on my hellbents.
Douch Bags(Them)
Me( I )
DB "What the fuck do you need those for? Is there any part of that ski that touches the snow?"
I "To ski some powder with, they make it easy to ski powder, and yeah they touch the snow."
DB "Yeah mine do too { he pointed to his Armada Arvs}"
I "Those are good in powder, but these thing kill the powder. It almost makes skiing powder to easy."
DB "Is it worth looking like a jackass to ski powder"
Other DB "HAHA yeah you jackass"
I "Well...... I don’t think I look like a jackass, but hey with that nice gap in-between you’re helmet and your goggle some might say you look like a jackass too"
DB "Fuck that man, I see allot of people wearing the helmets and goggles this way"
I "Sure"
Other DB “ Man, those things are a joke, you must suck if you need skis like that to ski powder"
I " Yes, Yes I suck so badly I need these over sized state of the art ski to ride in powder"
DB " What are on those the evil dead shit, what is that?"
I " Just art"
DB " Those fucking things are not normal man, get with the times and get some real skis"
I " I have a other pairs of skis, and this pair so happen to be my favorite pair"
DB " HAHA dude those suck"
At this point I just turned up my ipod
But really ripping on some one for skiing on rocker skis, and this wasn’t the first time it has happened. People just don’t get these skis.

You were way to nice to them...I would have talked like you until they called me a jackass, then I would just unleash and make them feel like shit, then follow them, halfway down the hill I would pass them try to ski switch and throw snowballs at them. I would probably fall skiing switch so I would go back to normal but then just cut them off and throw snowballs...

wow i cant believe that they went off on you like that. especially if they were skiing alta you would think theyd understand. i guess you just kind of have to suck it up at taht point and realize that they dont understand and wont open up their minds to try to understand it

haha unreal, the same thing has happened to me at alta a bunch, and at brighton. I usually just compliment them on their atomic's with like 3 inches of tail. then i usually ask them about how hardcore they are and go on my way

Wow that's ridiculous that people are getting ripped on for skiing sick skis. I can imagine something like this if there was someone with hellbents on the East Coast, but at Alta, so many people ride super fat rockered skis anyway. Sounds like some slaps to the face should have been administered.

The guy that was on Armadas should know better. Blowing by them switch would have been sweet though.

tell them you will capture there soul and put it in the peanut butter jar that you use to hold the nails that you eat as a snack cause thats how hard core you are. then continue to tell them that you will spend exactly five minutes laughing at thier souls everyday after you finish wrestling with the gator that you keep in you backyard. just because you are that hard core

I would have thrown them off the chair (my buddy actually did that to someone before).
P.S. Gaper gaps are the new baggy pants. I'm surprised to see all the hate here.

Wow they are fucking retarded. When I first got my EP Pros all of the questions and comments were pretty flattering, but it gets a little annoying now. Oh and the bad jokes, jesus fucking christ. So I get my skis from the ski check and the attendant goes "One pair of waterskis coming up" everyone in the line laughs. Im like, are you kidding me? That was terrible... I am just looking at this other guy in the line with a pair of rockered skis shaking my head. Later I found out that same guy was on NS haha. Lift attendants are usually pretty with it and are really into the rockereds, but damn I get so many bad jokes on the chairlift.
Oh and one guy on the lift actually asked if they were waterskis I mounted with ski bindings, he was completely serious.

i feel like a lot of the older guys at alta have a really bad attitude towards our generation. I get made fun of there for having my all red baggy lethal descent suit. they just dont understand that times are changing.
let it be
