I asked 8 peeps at my local hill today if they knew where chads gap was, and yes they have twintips, hiking the park, decent skiing, no body could help me out. and even when they didnt say anything id be like "newschoolers.......?" nothing. one ns;er out of probly 15 skiers, and i only found out cause he had like 5 stickers on his helmet/

Really? In summit, I get people that come up to me and say "your Saya_SagStraps from ns right?". Its crazy, pratically every1 here has not enough life to do something better than talk about skiing -online-for hours-to destroy their already non existent social life-then ski- then ns- then sleep-lol.

The kid who originally asked that question 4 years ago hasn't logged onto NS in over 30 days. I bet he has no idea about that phrase being a newschoolers greeting. Most NS'ers only come to the site to watch videos anyway and rarely visit the forums, so they have no idea about that.

Has anybody else had one of your friends point someone out to you, and you don't know their name, but you know their ns name? hahaha happens to me all the time.

it took me over a year to figure out that there were forums. seriously, i only knew how to get to the pictures and videos and had no clue what a forum even was. i couldnt figure out how people had such high post counts just from commenting on pictures and videos, when they dont even go towards your post count, i was baffled. then one day i stumbled into the forums and the rest is history.

it seriously gets to be wierd. how can you ski for so long and not know about this site? and when you ask someone who has no clue, you have no idea how to explain the significance of this site..

I have tried it 4 times.  It worked 4 times.  And that is the story of how I met keystoner1.

I went to Breck the other day, and I was with some rather unskilled friends who never followed me into the park.  However, there was a cool guy rocking an NS sticker that hiked with me whenever I came through after a lap.  I hope the store gets up again because I need to rep some stickers so others can call it out and we can ride.
