Snobby Ski Racers

Is it just at my mountain or is it everywhere that ski racers are snobs. They will take your seat in the lodge when you get up, and run into you on the mountain. There just pricks. Does anyone else face this?

as a former racer i can vouch for the fact that growing up our east we had no "special privileges" or got treated any differently we trained on public hills and all of us racers were friends with the "park rats" we would even go ski park with them after we trained... there was an all-around better vibe between the disciplines than out west, although all the kids that go to my school are friends no matter what discipline we do once we get on the hill al the kids in there 5xl wu tang ts who barley can even hit rails and blaze up on the chair lift are pathetic this being said there is no better feeling that showing someone up when there dressed in tallts and baggy shorts in the park.

my 2 cents

I don't know where the hell you ski but it's nothing like that where I am. Almost all the guys I ski with either started off skiing all mountain or started in racing so we can all ski pretty well around the mountain.

Generalization bro.

Ex racer here I ski park all the time and many of the park kids can rip outside of the mountain but more than not are pretty awful, especially the younger crowd 15-18. I notice an enormous difference between ex racers / racers and skiing ability compared to just an outright park rat
