U h well if you count the "alpine team"
like 20

however, they all suck donkey dick.

Me and two of my friends are serious about it, then like 10 or so 6 timers, and like 4 wannabe pat moores.

It's funny to see kids who have never skied in their life and we live close to like 3 mtns (tenny, loon, wv)

Probably just me at my school. When I was a freshman there was a kid in my math class who skied park but now I am almost sure it is just me. There are some snowboarders but most of them suck to my knowledge, and there is one snowboarder at my school who goes around saying skiing is gay...he rides maybe like twice a year. I live at least an hour and a half from any skiing and it's warm in the winter where I live so people don't really get into it.

sounds exactly like mine.



my school is full of gaper skiers and boarders, and all the boarders do is talk shit, but go twice a year and suck. one kid has a shirt that says, "snowboarders: proudly annoying skiers since 1980" or something like that. all the boarders think it is still skys vs. urchins in johnny tsunami.

and there is 1 other kid that skis decent at my school.

i swear to god i am the only freeskier in my school. the only other skiers are racers, and there are about a dozen of them. and then about 800 other kids snowboard, but they are ALL gapers who've never even aced a black run (we have a couple of ski trips every year, and the double-black skier group consists of me and the racers, the black diamond group is always empty, and then the rest are snowboarders in blue and green groups).

Queen's, it sucks, a few people I know have twin-tips, but I met this one guy and asked him if he skied, he was like: "yeah, I have those skis with the curved up ends"

I laughed to myself when he said that

I'm guessing around 3. A couple are graduating and a couple are coming in new, and one kid is quitting and another leaving to go to winter sports school in utah or whatever it's called...and he was the best park skier in the region so I don't really know who's actually serious about it that's left.

I'm the most serious skier in my middle school, and three of my friends are the the only kids (plus me) that even know what a park is. My school has a ski club and there are like 40 joeys that try to push off with their poles while doing a pizza! At the High School, the kids who made 382 went there and Max Harris and some other sick kids went, or are currently there. Theres one snowboarder who's pretty good and a ski racer who says he all that but probebly is lame.

i'm sorry, the stupid school divides us up by groups of who can ski what and the highest group is double-black. so naturally i go in that group. the stupidest thing is the school won't let us ski unless we ski with an instructor for the first two hours of the day, and i am ALWAYS showing up the instructors because i know the hill better than them (my home mountain) and doing some shit that they have like, never seen before or something.
