When im skiing and its sunny, I always look at the shadow that the snow coming off the back tips of my skiis makes. Sometimes i put my goggles up and back again, itch my head, cuss when im goin fast,strecth befor a  rail.

I always have the temptation to jump of the chairlift and same things like
pull pants up before hit up and bounce before hitting the jump looks stupid
but times my launch perfectly (IDK if i do it all the time though).

hahahaha wow i do the exact same noise thing

and nothing especially wierd, when i get knocked balance i make wierd sounds( like said above) even if i dont fall. i talk and sign when im charging. always hit snow of my skis before getting on cahir, when getting off, before hitting a feature. i hate having it on. When im standing i always stagger a foot back.

stomp my skis to get snow off them, in a very quiet whisper i sing to myself, perma bang almost too much and pull up my pants. oh and i ALWAYS need to have a pop tart and orange g2 at some point of my day while skiing, before, after at lunch whatever i just need a pop tart and an orange g2.

I have no idea why, but i do the same thing. i spin left forward, and right switch- does it have to do with a dominant foot/leg? idk. i can land them and thats all i worry about.

Pinch my goggles and helmet closer together when I get off the lift and approaching first feature. For some reason my pants get pinched between my binding and boot. Like every run haha so I often find myself pulling my pants out.

DUDE. Me too. Even if its like a dangerously high height and I'd totally wreck my knees, something in me still wants to do it sooooo bad.

I'm worried one day the urge will overcome me and I'll leap.

i always clap my skis on the ground in the lift like while looking around and i clap my right twice before while im getting on the lift, i always do a nollie on the first little hill on every run, when i first enter the park i push my helmet down and look around for skiers, and every time i fall the words "fuck my shit" always come out haha.

this

and i always talk / sing to myself. i mean most of the time but especially when i ski.

then it turns out its way louder then i think cause im either listenig to music or just plain cant hear from regualr skiing sounds.

I do this too and if i'm with a group and they're saying something like you wanna hit this run and peace? i just say we'll talk about it after the run. And when i'm hitting tables with a group I always like to keep what position I go, like the other day I was landing real nicely on the tables going second with my group so I always would drop in after the first person in my group.

If Im going really fast over a roller I always try to shift and keep my back tips on the ground and it never works. 

I beat box before I hit booters too, I never ski with music so.

Never EVER call last run. And whenever I almost fall, or almost run into someone or something, I always yell woo-hoo, Pronounced Like Yoo-hoo. I don't mean to say it or think about it, it just slips out.
