snowboarders that are haters and who sit down on the side of the park because being next to the park is "cool" in groups of about 10 to 11 and gape.

gapers, moguls, bad parks, i can deal with that.
what i hate is sheets of ice.
i ski PA, so a good 40% of the mountain is A SHEET OF ICE.
there is nothing you can do on straight up ice-rink ice.  especially on my rail-beaten trouble makers...

Walking back to the car after a long day of skiing.
Sometimes the car is at the other end of the parking lot,
You walk through flocks of gapers trying to hold up their skis,
I always try to avoid their ski tips from my face...
and it takes for ever and ever, and it pisses me off greatly...
especially when its all icy and cold (east coast)

Gapers who jump off the sides of jumps that are supposed to be for rails. This gaper fag yelled at me for being "in the middle of everything" when I was 10 feet away from a rail but apparently in the middle of his landing to just jump off the side. I went on some ebonical rant and he didn't say anything after that.
Then another fag yelled at me and my friends for laying down on the top of the hill thing to drop in where 20 other snowboarders had been sitting for hours. Fucking 30 year old weekend warriors think theyre so cool because they can corner a jump.

You know dude, I don't really think about things I hate on the mountain because I'm usually a weekend warrior when it comes to skiing so I try to enjoy every second I have and I don't take it for granted. So pretty much the only thing that bugs me is people who aren't having a good time because skiing is all about having fun and if your not you should just leave and come back some other day.

i live on the east coast and one day it rained, but the temps were below freezing, so the rain would hit you, then freeze. Plus the snow got so shitty, with ice and choppy shit. Miserable life of an east coaster.

Dude you dont even understand, there are a few things on the mountain that I dont like so much. I never think or complain when Im skiing im just usually having an epic day. Unless its raining and im getting wet that other stuff just annoys me a litle bit but I keep it to my self and have a good time.

HAHAHH.

Your a big ass though.


I dont like Litter on the mountain.
Lack of park (RCR skier and embarrassed of it!)
when the iPod dies
lunch time in the daylodge when your by yourself
Transformers.
How expensive beer in Canada at the ski hill is compared to the states..

More of a mountain town/city'ism; but when people (generally older 30+) say things to suggest that they are more local than you or how they don't want things on the mountain or town to change ie; bigger accommidations, advanced chair lifts, expanding mountain terrain, city folk buying all the real estate in the area and the city or town itself expanding. These people make me mad bcoz many of them were once "come from aways" who moved to the mountains more than 15 years ago bcoz they wanted to be ski bums then too. And when they arrived, they changed the mountains. Change is a good thing, and I cannot understand why old geazers can't seem to see the positives in this. It doesn't matter how diverse or different mountains get, they will always be ski towns in the end. In reality, I think mountain towns might be the safest towns in the world to raise a family.

I don't like old french geazers who complain about the mountain at the lunch table.
bad lifties

i hate the jib park at Park City when the gapers are in town. even when their not though there are always the snowboarders that think they are hot shit and drop whenever they want. they'll cut you off to hit the rail and dont even do a trick and when you wait like 30 seconds to drop after them at the top, you end up hitting them on the last two rails. its SO GAY

when large groups of 20 or 30 small children convince their instructers to let them go the parks at carinthia, invade the whole thing like a tidal wave, and then ride up and stop on the lip of the jump that you skipped a rail and a box to get enough speed to hit, so that you must skip the jump also

I can't bring myself to hate anything on the mountain, skiing isn't conducive to anger or hate.

The gapers that stop on the landings scare the shit out of me though, I don't want to land on them.
