And im the only person that has raced before other than at school, (but it was three years ago and I sucked when i did) and due to this am in a singles only category in a higher level... (level2)

So, I am faced with two options;
1) Actually care about how I do, race in a race suit, get racing poles, use race skiis.
OR
2) Troll during the races by wearing our Obnoxiously large clothing i wear when i normally ski park, wear my twins, and use my poles that are shorter than midgets.

Please help me decide how I should take on this season lmao

TBH, you wont do well cause your level 2 team will suck. What division are you in? You will probably only make OFSSA indivdually.  Do whatever you want, ask to be sand bagd if you have to. I went and skiied park inbetween runs and inspections.

take it seriously but you still dont need to wear a gs suit.  I raced in high school and really enjoyed it.  I also did pretty well with one pair of decent race skis and no gs suit.

that comment makes me think you cant ski.
im not a racer but i have been an instructor or just over a year now, same as racing in that it focuses on on piste skiing but in instructing there is heaps of low end skiing. when i started i was a massive gaper, now i can ski properly, and im not bad at all, im shit in the park but i love it too.. and frankly if steez means backsteat skiing with an open jacket then fuck that /endrant

Yes, steeze is backseat skiing, open jacket all that fun stuff. I can't believe you've been on NS for a year and still haven't figured that out until now.

You and that other guys icons are priceless by the way.

I would say get into racing, its incredibly fun and what i did was just hit the park before and inbetween my runs. if you have friends on the team try and beat them in practice, bet on it. thats what me and my friends did all throughout my racing years and had a ton of fun!

Yeah numbero 2 for sure. That's all I did last year on my schools team. I would also butter and ride switch down the course shit was priceless. Just don't expect any approval from racer moms/dads.

I race and ride park, its not to bad and it will help with your skiing, Its just really expensive and takes a big chunk of your time when your at the hill unless you have a chill coach that lets you ditch every other day, i suggest finding some non twin tips or youre gonna eat shit on the ice if you go faster than 20mph, unless you really just dont care

Your stupidity amazes me, how old are you? 13?... God how does a racing background would affect your "steeze"??

OP: just give it a try practice some racing, you wont regret and your skiing in general will improve and if you cant stand it, just drop the team dont waste other peoples time.
The best skier is the skier who can shred anything from GS gates to urbans.
