Now we are all members of this site because we love skiing, but there are some pretty shitty parts of the sport. In my opinion taking a shit with ski boots and snowpants on is the absolute worst. Nothing pisses me off more than gettin the tummy grumblins half way down a run, knowing that im going to be struggling with my equipment in the bathroom for the next half hour. Lets hear some other things

i hate that point in the day when the jump and landing are all the same shade of white. like you cant tell the difference between the table and the landing due to shadows by clouds and nearby hills. for me that shit gets real spooky when i look for the landing and all i see is a bunch of greyish white

Lessons in the park
People who can't get on and off the lift
Park rats who take skiing way too seriously
Racers who think they run the hill
Awkwardly talking about park skiing with gapers on the lift
When people tell my my Saga looks like a dress

Avalanches. Think of all the amazing lines which could be sadly attempted if you knew for sure the snow pack was stable and there was no chance of a slide.

More of a gaper moment but still a thing I hate most is when your skiing or going up a poma, happily playing with your poles then BAM!...you put one infront of you and it hits you in the nads

Surely I can't be the only one?

Everything about it is so damn expensive. Lift tickets, ski repairs, gear, etc...

Ruin my baggy pant while walking with skiboots on street.

Smelted snow on your afterwards wet tall tee and hoodie.

Cant see through googles because of steam.

Pain and injury.

Destroy ur eggs on highrails.

Have a crash in powder!

Forgetting to detune your edges before you spend a day hitting rails.

And sliding wood features for the first time, you never know if they are frozen enough to slide until it's too late.
