An easy way to detect other NSers (in cities, etc.)

I am moving to the states next summer and was trying to figure out a way to find (mainly in the campus) some other NSers who share the same passion as me to go skiing, tramping etc.,  which is easier said than done.  There are lots of ways to detect other NSers by wearing skiing related hoodies and stuff outside of the slopes. But most of us don't wear tall jibs or other xxxl hoodies for casual means so I was trying to come up with a few ideas that could help detect each NSers off the hills. It would be sick if you guys could give me some additional ideas to help shape a future product that would benefit us all.

I was thinking of small wearables (like an armband) that could have the NS logo printed on it, but what do you guys think of this idea in general?

Thanks NS!

Well every ns in the states usually sings the ns national anthem when it snow. Others have been spotted with sweet a goggle tan. Or you could just buy some full tilts, that's usually the answer to everything for a ns.

All of us should systematically convert everything we wear to clothes made by a ski brand. Then wherever we are, we will be wearing something that will show that we are skiers.

Super steezy thug seeking equally or more steezy individual to hang out with in our spare time. Must be ok with doing very little productive activities and tolerant of frequent masturbation.

Adoration of the sport of skiing is a must, as well as being able to claim a multitude of tricks they're able to do. Actual ability to perform all tricks claimed not necessary.

Must be ok with semi-frequent use of marijuana. Must be willing to back up all claims of many more drugs used than actually used. Claiming to have done many drugs without actually having done them is a definite plus.

Must have a family with a lot of money, but act like they're always broke. Trust funds are a huge plus, as are expensive cars that have no payments needed.

Must be ok with eating shit ass food and drinking shit ass beer.

Individuals who are more inclined toward a "ski bum" lifestyle without being willing to give up many of modern world amenities will be considered top applicants.

How about donators get those nice armbands and non-donars can get a little golden ns logo patch they have to sew on to all their clothes? Different colors and combos can represent different things!

This. Maybe try to meet someone w/ out yourself in mind, who knows they might be fun.

Just do the things you like to do and you will meet like minded individuals.

The idea you are proposing is a silly one....

say no to hyper-individualism if at all possible.

Why don't you just make your own friends with similar interests and not rely on a website to connect you like match.com

I was at a skateshop/surfshop in grand haven MI last year wearing my saga boardshorts and the dude behind the counter recognized them and we talked about skiing for a while. It's pretty fun to wear skiing t shirts in public with the chance somebody will know whats up

On a trip to Steamboat this winter I was just wearing my Jiberish streetwear and had a couple NS'ers call me out. They saw the Jib, they're like nice man, I asked if they were on NS and they said yeah. /EPICSTORY

I saw one kid wearing a G-Suit Jacket and Magic pants and KNEW he had to be an NS'er, and he ended up being one of the ones that called me out on the Jib haha.

only way to find out is to walk up behind em and pee in their butt. if they high five you and laugh and turn around to pee in your butt, then they're ns'ers. easy and foolproof
