I go to a school of 2000 people, a lot of people ski but they're all gapers and racers. No one I know of freestyle skis. It's really dumb

better than going to  a school where being one of three skiers gets you called gay more than if one was a male flute player in the marching band....  i hate the half redneck high school i went to.

I think that it's funny that half of the time everyone is bitching about the increasing popularity of skiing because it's becoming less & less "core", but people turn around and bitch because of the lack of skiers. Can't have your cake and eat it too. BTW - general observation & not directed specifically at anyone in particular.

Want more girls skiing? Then skiing needs to get bigger. Simple as that.

I love living in the NW where I don't have to worry about this.

But seriously, get them interested in skiing if its such a big deal that no one there skis.

i love in a small connecticiut town.  and in my high school we have prolly 15 kids that all freestyle.  i love it.  were a pretty tight knit crew and its funny wearing "my friend is a pro" shirts or saying shit from chug life or something and only a handful of people get it.

no one even appreciates skiing cause no one understands what its about. everyone thinks skiing is stupid cause all they think about is it being a girly sport. Most hated question: "Since you're a guy, should't u be snowboarding?" proves how people hate on the sport and know nothing about it.

Yeah at my school I'm the only legit snowboarder/skier.  No one actually "knows what's up".  There's some kids who go every once in awhile and think they're sweet and then talk shit on everyone when they're actually gapers.

At my school (out of 2000 - 2500 kids) theres maybe 7 other twintip skiers, 5 of whom are assholes, 1 whos just a gaper on twins, and theres one chill one, theres also a shitload of gapers and weekend warriors,  and a few cool racers.  i feel your pain, i want to build a summer setup, but i have noone to use it with, because all my friends who ski are 45 minutes or more away, and most cant drive

Yeah, i don't know why people are concerned about skiing getting bigger. As long as you're better than everyone else people will still be like "hey look at that skier", not that i'm saying people just want to get noticed.

There is only one other freeskier at my school and I never ski with him, but there's a couple of chill snowboarders and a few snowboarders that graduated last year, but went to local colleges so I still ski with them.  Everyone at my school thinks skiing is gay and snowboarding is cool and talk shit about skiing, even though none of the snowboarders do, it's pretty lame.  I can kinda see why they would think that though, because all of the kids on the racing team except one or two are huge douchebags, and most people think that I'm on the team for some reason.  There are a lot of skiers at a nearby high school though (East), but it would be nice to be able to talk about skiing with someone at school and have them know what I'm talking about/not bore them/piss them off.

sorry for the double post, but I get that all the time too when I wear any skiing brand other than K2/Rossi.  Some kid thought my NS sticker said pi (turned sideways), it ended up being a pretty funny inside joke though.

I live on Long Island man.  Welcome to my life.  I have one friend that wants to get into riding the parks, and he snowboards, and he's not serious about anything.  Other than that it's just me.  It blows.
