ok i search bar and i didn't find anything on this

1. we take what's basically an elevator up the hill so we can move our feet back and fourth and maybe shake our hips a little (spinning) down the hill

2. we like to wear xxxxl clothing (usually for big people)

3. during the off season, we sit on our computer all day.

NOT SAYING THAT SKIING ISNT FUN, WHICH IT VERY MUCH IS.****

but would you agree that thats kind of true??

2/3 things you listed don't pertain to the actual act of skiing at all, and the other 1 was just dumb

I usually hike when I'm in the park.

If I'm not in the park, I'm probably riding something that could count as a serious workout. I don't stop and take breaks.

I don't wear huge clothing.

I do other things than skiing.

you should have said "you could technically call us lazy because we are park rats" even though i completely disagree it would have been a more clear statement.

for example: racing, skiing pow, and hiking anywhere are all very far from being lazy. and unless your just lapping the park using the lift, always taking breaks and not trying to progress, you should be getting something out of it. so no, no one should call skiing lazy even though some skiers might be lazy.

Even if you lapping park on the lift all day its still a good workout.

Why hike when you can ride a snowmobile? Get off your high horse. Any kind of skiing is a workout, yes even park skiing. PLease take a long run through a good park and tell me you are not tired at all and no dont just straight air everything and actually trick every feature.

Yes I hike some, but I'd prefer not to go on really long hikes cause its just to damn much shit to carry. Plus thats why I bought a snowmobile :)

Yea I know what you are saying, but honestly the amount of terrain you can cover with a sled compared to touring is uncomparable. I could tour 4-5 different valleys in one day while if I was touring I just might make the top of a ridge in one day.
Ive seen so many cool areas with my sled that I would have never seen If i tried to walk there. Hell I dont even really ski that much when I sled, just sleding is super fun. It is a real workout too, you get sore as shit after your first few sled trips.

1. a lot of skiers actually hike the hills they are going to climb, but i don't see anything wrong with chairlifts as they give you faster access to the top of the hill.
2. most skiers don't wear clothes that are too big for them, that's just your hypebeasts.
3. a lot of skiers do other things in the summer, you don't have to look far to find an MTB or longboarding or whatever thread on here in the summer.

meh.

haters should stop hating on their own sport. makes you look like a retard. a lot of "park rats" are better skiers and more in shape than most of your "core" ass buddies.

IMO he's right in a way, but he could have worded it better.

By claiming that "you could technically call us lazy b/c we ski" (referring to park skiing), one is making a really broad generalization. Given the many different and varied types of skiing (BC skiing, park skiing, powder, all-mountain, etc.), by saying that "because we ski, we are lazy," you're inferring that all skiers are lazy. Which isn't true. I think it just fails to recognize the many different types of skiing.

That said, park skiing is skiing, but it isn't the only type of skiing. Which is the key problem here. Too many NSers think that park skiing is the only type of skiing (which could be related to the fact that we have so many east coast members), which is short-sighted. Period.

thank you,

and no during the off season i go biking, skating, climbing, swimming, usually at least one intense (by the standards of people who dont do shit, the average american) physical activity a day. the wearing baggy clothing thing doesnt even have to do with being lazy, and actually wearing baggy shit would give you a lot more of a work out because its heavier, harder to move in, and just takes more energy overall, its almost like being fat! though i dont wear tight fitting stuff skiing i have and its a hell of a lot easier flexibility, freedom of movement, lack of stuff getting in the way- wise. pro skiers or any bc skiers are probably some of the most athletically fit people in the world.

I certainly agree that you are lazy, but it's not because you ski.

so do you honestly think that you're better than anyone who decides to wear baggy clothes?  and why the fuck do you think the "average american doesn't do shit"?  i hate people like you.  that's such an ignorant statement.
