Does ripping the chair line bring out your finest skiing skills?

It does for me, park or bumps or whatever it is, it's a combination of wanting to look as badass as possible, pushing the limit, while at the same time not bailing. Put's me in the ZONE. How about you guys?

Nothing better than ripping some deep pow under the lift and getting cheers from the people riding.

I swear every pow day if I ever hit a drop under a chair, I double eject and slowly have to drag myself up through the pow to find my skis, I then struggle to put them back on, all the while my self esteem drops as chair after chair goes past. So no, ripping chair lines brings the worst out in me, sigh.

yeah people watching from the lift pumps me up.


However today I spun off a rail, landing and riding away thinking i'm all thug, and then caught an edge. This sent me flying on my stomach, slow motion, into a giant/DEEP slush puddle, yelling "NOOOOO!" The only thing that didn't get completely submerged was my head.


Everyone on the lift was laughing so fucking hard. Must have been hilarious to see.

Only when it's a powder day. Something about taking turns underneath people with powder makes a world of difference. Any cheers are like a bonus for shredding the fresh pow:):) Good times

Riding under the terrain chair line usually makes me do well in the park, but you have to be careful underneath some people at my hill because you will be pelted with snowballs and green laser pointers.

Hell yes I LOVE getting cheers, let's me kow I'm doing something right! Even if I bail hard, due to the speed it's usually pretty spectacular which gets it's own kind of cheer too, not to mention the priceless maternal "you OKAY!?" "I'm good!" I refuse to to be embarassed if I wreck. Also when it's shitty mogully snow conditions I like to charge backseat, straight line, and bounce around, knowing observers on the chair think I'm a total out of control nutcase skier! Ahh I love skiin

Somewhat relevant, but I go to a park with a rope tow and I nutted a flat flat flat rail in front of a ll the USASA kids. That was embarrassing because I was one of three skiers in the park. -street cred for me

Yes. Out at Jackson Hole I charged Nightmare cliff which is directly under the sublette lift which is sick to get encouragements from a pretty big drop.
