and a lot of people go to the mountain cause they think it's the "cool" thing to do

There's like 6 out of 400 students. I'm probably the best and I'm not even that great. In my school people think you're gay if you ski. There's some snowboarders that think they're pretty hot shit, but they're not. They can do 3's at best. I wished I lived in Rossland BC. They have a fucken freeskiing ski academy. The hill is not even a 5 minute drive away. You can literally ski into town.

alright iv cracked some numbers and found the average percentage of people who are good skiers at schools. I used the ratios that people gave on this post and found an average. so here are the numbers

average % of people who ski well: 1.155%
lowest recorded percentage: 0.003%
highest recorded percentage: 10%

this means that if a schools population is 2000 people we can expect to have 23 legit skiers.

hope this helps you all have an idea and i think it summarises the thread well
