When you guys see someone rocking a NS T-shirt or sticker or whatever... Do you identify yourself as being part of the club?

Sometimes a park rat with NS tags will be in the lift line infront of me, and I always decide it'd be too random?

Just curious. Maybe I'll start asking them if they know how to get to chads GAp from the bottom of Alta...

Yeah, that's what I always want to ask, and then I realize they would want to ski with me, and I'd be embarrassed because I assume every NS member is really good.
I'm not very good at park.
Like, at all.

Yea, ns riders at my hill are rare though... They flow over from avila when it's too packed or icey...


We should establish a bird call or something

I talk to most of the people at my home mountain who are ''park rats''.

But at school, when I see somehow with skier or NS steeze, I talk to him and vice versa.

IMO, Ns is a kind of club, like a community.

Dude, think about how many kids are on NS. Now think about how many kids are on NS who are 15 or younger and aren't very good park skiers. Now think about how many kids there are who are older than that and aren't very good at skiing park. Hell, I suck at skiing park and I'm nearly 20.

Having an NS account doesn't make you a better park skier. For fuck sakes, it's an account on an internet forum and a sticker on skis or a helmet. Use your brain.

I have a NS sticker on my helmet and have had a couple of 'hey are you on NS' from people. In France and the UK, so I guess its rarer to see an NS sticker here.

I've met two NSers that work in Zumiez on two different occasions. They were both snowboarders but they either saw my boyfriends NS shirt or my lanyard. It's usually just a ... "hey dude is that an NS shirt/lanyard?" "what's your username?"
It always makes me feel like I'm part of a secret club or something haha.

I've seen a few kids at sunday river and always want to say hi, but i just assume that most of the kids just want to ski park and I only lap the park a few times a day. If anyone sees me ( I have a NS sticker on my First Bloods) and wants to take a few runs I'd be pumped, I usually have to ski alone : (

haha, you guys must have really sucky mountains. there's probably around 40 kids that are on NS and ski at 7 springs and pretty much everybody knows everyone and any night of the week there are people to ski with.

Everyone on NS at my home mountain I know personally, so there's no need to shout out a call or anything like that. Now that I moved to a new mountain with hundreds of kids who slay the fuck out of anything in their path, it doesn't matter to me if they're on NS or not. Just get to know the people in your skiing community and I'm sure you'll meet NSers on the way.

I've tried before, If anybody isn't skiing already say hi to me at blue. I have 5 orange stripes at the bottom of my poles. This is the latest I've ever left, had to do something car insurance related first.

I'm not saying that being on here makes them good.
I was more saying that I just assume that if someone skis enough park and makes an account on here and has stickers, that they would be better then me at park. And since they'd want to take laps with me (most likely) it would be embarrassing.

I won't say I'm good at park but as long as you're a nice dude I don't see how your skill level affects how anyone else skis. I don't really ever get unstoked to try new tricks if I'm skiing with someone worse than I am.

Yea skill level doesnt really matter too much. I dont really care if somebody sucks. As long as I dont have to wait for them all the time lol, that pisses me off. I'd rather ski with  people who suck who have good personalities than douchebags who slay (which there are plenty of)

I suck cock at park, so I ALWAYS try to ski with people who slay, so I feel pressure to get better.
And skiing with someone who doesn't mind your chili-dog farts always helps.

I actually tried the other day, and the skier in question fully ignored me, maybe I don't have the right style for him and his crew? I tell myself it was headphones for personal comfort. I then proceeded to awkwardly follow his crew down the mountain (unintentionally) and stand in lift line near them wondering what I did wrong...

some 6 odd years ago I was living in Fernie, while skiing in the park one day, there were some other skiers, I started skiing with them, introduced myself, they introduced themselves (with our real names), and somehow, one of the dudes knew who I was on NS based on my first name. it was freaky. But, at the same time, NS wasn't as big back than, and I'm a NS nerd, so I guess I was kind of a big deal? not really, but kind of...

Seems like people sort of agonize over this...are NSers anti-social weirdos?

Just say "What's up? Saw your NS sticker, wanna take a lap?".

dude even if they are 10 times better than you are, it'll only help you learn new shit. they're not gonna care if you're not as good as they are cus they were in your position at one point in their life and they understand that you're just chillin, skiing and having a good time, which is exactly what theyre doing too

I'll try er out tomorrow, then.

I asked someone with a ns sticker what their username was a while ago, and they looked at me like I was handicapped. It discourAged me.

Seriously, I think we should start a handshake or something.

I've had mixed responses aswell. A couple times I met some chill kids other times they just sorta ignored me.  I wanna try the ALTA thing out sometime. It's not like it used to be when twins first came to the scene anyone with a pair in the park was immediatly your buddy lol. Not that I know what that was like just what I've heard.
