I am not sure if I was the first to say this but I think I made a new ski lingo.

Drop Campers- people who sit at the drop of a jump and just watch people hit the jump

"Dude lets just drop, those kids are just drop campers"

I'm guilty of this, but I tend to stay off to the side when I do so it doesn't look like I'm waiting.

Would rather have drop campers than gapers cutting in front of everyone and at the last second swerving to the side of the feature.

this, can't tell you how many times i have had to politely ask a tourist family to please tell their kids not go off the sides of the features. just today some little gaper kid ran into at high speed while i was waiting for my drop on a rail, then proceeded to make me help her get her ski back on because she didn't know you had to pop the binding back down..so annoying

Honestly if that bothers you, you have problem. Say drop and go in front, problem solved

Nothing wrong with it,but if there's like a giant crown before each feature(MSLM Junkyard all the frigging time) its gets real annoying.And when that happens I can't help but feel a little bad when I scoot around them.

LOL, I love this, especially at Mt. Snow. I love slaying through the drop and ollie-ing over kids tips/tails and then hitting the jump. It freaks the kids out so bad and I've never seen somebody I do that to stay on the drop for more than a minute after it.

Sometimes to wait up for my friends or take a quick break. I'll always make sure I'm out of the way though nothing worse then sitting on the inrun

As long as they're not sitting in the middle of the inrun it's not really a big deal, just call your drop and go.
