You can use humorous examples of ski lingo to help define what it is, and how it helps to define a group - I guess mainly by being pretty much incomprehensible to anyone who's not really into skiing.

For example: "Yeah bro, we got a two-foot dump last night so we decided to build a pow booter. We built it real poppy and the hangtime was pretty gnar, but I was feeling hyphy so I cranked up the dins on my rockers, buttoned up my powder skirt and prayed Jah be willing, I'll have some steeze today."


Maybe one thing you'd want to think about is why skiing as a sport promotes the development of lingo, in comparison with other sports and social groups. Generally speaking the sport of skiing is almost isolationist in nature: you're up on a mountainside, usually far away from civilization and established society, with a select group of people. It seems like this quality of separation from established culture might be one impetus for the development of words and phrases to accommodate and distinguish ski culture from popular vernacular.

It's interesting to think that this applies to a lot more than just language. Skiers & snowboarders tend to dress differently too; you can always pick a snowrider out of a crowd because of a particular hat or a t-shirt. In a similar fashion, ski lingo is an important identifier that tells everyone that an individual is part of the group.

hope some of that nonsense helps.
