I have to write an ethnographic essay so I have decided to do it about skiers in BC. Would appreciate it if you could take some time and answer these questions about your typical day of skiing with your crew.

Where do you typically ski?
Do you ski park or powder?
How many people do you ski with?
What is your typical outerwear/look?
What does your typical day start with?
Any "rituals" you do everytime you go skiing?
What do you do when you are done skiing? (go to a certain bar,etc)
Anything that differentiates your area from others?
Anything else that makes your crew unique?
Anything you want to add?

Also if you could post an edit/webisode of your crew that would help a lot.
Thanks for your time

1) whistler or cypress
2) if there's more than 20cms, park can usck my idck. but otherwise park.
3) usually one or two. for me, skiing is very much something to do with friends. it's a social event.
4) baggy black pants, black coat. baby blue poc helm, white oakleys
5) one run switch, unless pow day, in which case deepest snow i can find
6) one run switch to start your day. i need to ski every type of terrain on the mountain at least once, no matter the conditions (park, big mountain, groomer)
7) i'm 18. /fml. just chill with friends, i guess
8) it's fuckin west coast. lots of snow. wonderful parks. wonderful terrain.
9) i have no constant crew, it's whoever's up that day.
10) skiing's organic. my number one rule: have fun. if i'm not having fun, my time would be better spent elsewhere.


lol this is from 2 seasons ago... i'm in all blue.
