Your typical NS'er

Simple thread/question i pose to you....


what is your stereotypical NS'er? As in, what do you think the majority of this site is like?


I personally imagine either a 12 year old wearing tall ts and baggy shit, with all new equipment....who sucks at skiing.

or

Some fairly young kid who has sick outerwear, maybe not all completely new gear, and is sick at skiing.

So that NS, is what i think of you all.

How about you?

This.

Though it's pretty weird how everyone percieves other users on here, there is a lot of hate towards all the kids who just ride park, but all the nsers I have ever met have been over 20, ski a lot of pow and aren't your stereotypical park rats at all, maybe that is because I don't ski in the States anymore though?

This is also me, however there are a whole generation of groms who rip it, and of course with technology these days being so accessable and younger ages becoming tech savy of course NS is gonna be an attraction for them being passionate freeskiers like all of us.

there's a difference between simply skiing park and clearing off boxes on a pow day so you can hit them (saw kids in whistler doing that)

the only skiers that i have a REAL problem with are kids who spend all day every day in the park until they reach the point where they can sort of throw down in the park but they never bothered to learn how to ski so they flail around with their feet together as they try to ski a groomer

I don't get where most of this "obsessed with afterbang" comes from.  Every thread made about afterbang is by some noob or some fucktard.  And "wants to suck tod walnuts" dick shit is the same way.  Sure 90% of people on here probably rank him as one of their fav skiiers, but how could you not?  The people that generally ask "waat is tom walish jacket?" are noobs, and a typical NSer is definitely not a noob.  ./nonsene rant

A typical NSer in my opinion is someone out to ski and have fun beyond shredding your groomer/mogul runs.  Someone who tries to have as much fun no matter where they are on mountains doing stupid shit off side hits and being creative as possible.  Can mostly be found lapping the park, but ski what they are given depending on the conditions.  If the park is closed still manage to have fun exploring the mountain and shredding with friends.

Basically any freestyle skiier who loves the sport
