but whatever you do, DO NOT go all the way up the walls of the stunt ditch- on the way down your skis could get snapped in half by the compression. not worth the risk.

I don't think you should limit yourself to the lodge...

WARNING: STEPS BELOW MAY INCLUDE ACTUAL SKIING

1. Deck yourself out in the latest gear. If it's last year's, throw it in a fire. Rock a 3XL basketball jersey or bright colored tee, a helmet that's too big, goggles low, bandana with money signs or kittens, and make sure you have a hat on underneath your helmet. Optional: big headphones.

2. Ski through your local park, going as fast as possible but make sure you don't ski on the rails! You might slip and fall, killing your street cred.

3. Make sure you stop at the inrun of the jump line. Stand there, stretch, throw your poles in the air, make it look like you're the fucking man. Sing along to the hype ass beats jammin' through your iPod. Biggie verses are recommended. Be sociable with other skiers that are in line for the jumps, but make sure they go ahead of you. Once everyone has dropped and threw down, ski really fast to the bottom, skipping all the jumps. Optional: Use landings as rollers to minimize time and increase speed - approach the jump with full speed then at the last minute turn away from the takeoff. Be careful! Too much speed could cause your skis to leave the ground!

4. Once you're at the bottom of the jump line, find the skiers that have congregated at the next hit. Tell them how hard you threw down, that you went too corked on that 9 and almost bailed, or something of that nature. Chances are, they didn't watch you hit any of the jumps, so make them think you did by telling some gnar stories!

5. Follow the skiers to the lift. Continue your stories on the ride up - tell them about that switch fakie 7 you pulled last week but landed nose heavy and popped out of your skis. Don't be afraid to drop names, for some good ones check the NS updates.

Remember - skiing is all talk! If you don't know how to hype yourself up, then skiing is pointless!
