Big Sky:
No local deals (and still won't be local deals with the merge with moonlight next year. Assholes)

Day passes will be $100 next year.

Tight-pants gaper moms and dads yelling at you to "learn how to ski properly" when they only do runs down the blue groomers and you are obviously better than them.

Moonlight basin:
A burger with nothing for a side is $9

Small Mac and cheese is $11

Bridger Bowl:
Not enough fries to feed me.

Gaper moms and dads jacking my perfect line after scoping it out thoroughly. Fuck you.

Dudes on the ridge hiking trail tearing up the side of the trail to run past you and get mad when you are just going your own pace which is "too slow" for them.

Park not big enough. More jumpz plz.

Yawgoo Valley RI:
- the Yawgoons have a monopoly on the park and they have some weird hate against skiers... even tho i only ride with snowboarders in VT/Hood. Gheyyy.
- the owners and supervisors have known me my whole life and want me to get PSIA certified. aint nobody got time for that.
- there's a long flat in the middle so pretty much no speed, though I am a champ at carrying and "finding" speed
- 4 min up the chair, 30 seconds down
- its on the east coast
- global warming

Copper Mountain CO:
- nothing ever works or it breaks halfway through
- the groomers fuck up everything the Competition Crew builds (like when the day after we finished the judges shed for US Open they bashed into it and took out a wall. for example)
- i'm not there this season
- there needs to be a tunnel under the Ten Mile Range//Breck cuz its bullshit that it's right there and yet you have to go all the way around for half an hour
- I'm addicted to Sugar Lips Mini Donuts and having serious withdrawals. Also there's a new girl working there and I'm not sure that she knows the owner hooks me up fat so that will be an issue when I get back.
- I always ski alone cuz nobody can keep up suckersss. but its lonely at the top -_-

How when I'm in the park there are usually about 20 snowboarders per each skier. And 90% of them are assholes to skiers..so its impossible to spend any time there without getting yelled at or snaked or something every 30 seconds

That the "park crew" doesn't build a single jump all year, and when i ask why the park is like 10 shitty stepdown box features they tell me because its "safer" and that the snowpack doesn't allow for jumps. And then they try to pull my pass for punching nollie fronts off of the park rollers (which are way too steep of landings for such small features anyway.). ski santa fe bullshit, guess thats what i get for growing up in NM.
But Purg still has the most asshole fun police, last year i ended up pushing this guy over the liftline railings because instead of pulling my pass like a gentleman, he stood right in my face and on my skis right in front of my bindings, called me a "stupid asshole" (for a butter 3 in a nojump zone) and scratched out the barcodes on my ticket with sharpie. And i was there with 3 other people who can vouch that i awas being apologetic and chill until he like pushes me and steps off my topsheets so i sorta lost it and shoved him over one of those waist height metal dividors in front of bout 50 people. fuckin idiot didnt realize fresh sharpie comes off with spit though :) i only sat out like 5 minutes when i was changing hats

-pack of snowboarders at the top of tow rope
-racers in terrain park (then when you tell them to move their "Coach" threatens to tell the Ski Patrol LOL
-snowboarders who snitch on all the skiers that smoke weed
-14 year old skiers that go 2/5 of the rail and say they "SLAYED" the rail brah
-$16 dollars for a fucking cardboard pizza
-the snowboarders who steal all your shit in the chalet

(Our resort only charges 270 for season pass and the terrain park is pretty fuckin bomb) Only thing i like about my resort.. oh and the hot racer babes.
