I just met these two other NS kids and we were calling out this snowboarder that had a drink water hoodie (trollin ep. about it recently came out) on and were just laughing about it for a couple runs. I'm dropping into a jump and see the drink water kid and yell out to him, I see a little booter next to the lift pole and decide to hit it then the jump since people were kinda forming it all day (mind you it was extremely slushy). I fly through the air and as soon as I hit the ground I face plant and slide down the rest of the hill double ejected and snow just filling up my goggles and mouth. Turn around see the snowboarder on the lift laughing his ass off calling me out and the two other kids I just met just like wtf happened haha. That was pretty embarrassing. Then later that day I nutted myself on a up bar next to the lift and was bleeding. Good times

was trying to boost this gap from a cat track to this drift right under the lift, came up short and tomahawked, all I could hear was the laughter of people on the lift and a bunch of patrollers sitting on the cat track.

I was skiing a groomer, super flat lighting. Carving down, mach 5. Nollie shifty off a roller. Completely underestimated the amount of air time I would have gotten, and landed in said shifty position. Catch an edge and fall flat on my face, right under the lift.

Just on friday night I was traversing over to the lodge across the entire slope, and I was going really fast. By the time I saw the rope there, I was through it. I took out like ten rope poles. Couldn't fix it, so I just dragged them back to approximately the location they should have been at. This was right underneath the chairlift.

Needless to say while skiing away some boarder shook his board off on top of my head. I deserved it.

A few years ago i was about 10 feet from unloading at the top and decided it would be a good idea to start doing daffys.  Did one too many and caught my tip on a rock and started to fall forward but my jacket was caught on the lift andheld me back.  i ended up dangling with my leg behind me and the chair tipped sideways as my friends fell on top of me.  After about 10 seconds of humiliating myself, leg and jacket both stuck,  the liftie noticed and stopped the lift, but not before my ski ejected and i had to unload on one ski and fell again in front of everyone.  i didnt shit myself but it was pretty embarrassing

Last season I was ducking under a rope blocking off where the airbag was (closed at the time) to hit a rail. Caught tip of head on said rope and all I hear is *tink tink tink* as I pole each pole out of the snow the rope was connected to. Skied away in shame feeling like a dumbass.

I went skiing at Vail without a fur coat/matching Oakley team kit. I also was on cross-country skis to prepare for all the flat catwalks.

I almost always drag/press my tips or tails a bit when I first get on the chair. Held it too long one time, tips got caught and I was flipped out of the chair. On the bright side, I was night skiing and there was only one or two people in line. There was lots of laughter and many hi-fives.

I was skiing at Big Sky a few weeks ago, and riding the Challenger lift on an epic pow day. I was kicking my skis back and forth because they're Line Motherships, which are heavy as fuck, and this helps me deal with that on a 15 minute chair ride for some reason. Right when we were approaching the bottom of the steep section of Big Rock Tongue I accidentally kicked my right ski off. I had to ski all the way down the steep part of Challenger with one ski, falling about every three turns because my boot would get caught when on the uphill side due to the steepness. At least everyone on the lift cheered for me when i got to my ski.

I was skiing in France on a powder day, dropped a relatively small pillow line, on my park skis, landed and was skiing away looking ahead of me to find my younger brother, hit a relatively large piece of ice with my right ski. My ski stopped, my body didn't and i did a full flip and landed on my side under the top of a lift. oh and my younger brother saw...

I was skiing down past a restaurant on the mountain and some gaper had left their skis out in the way and I saw them before I could do anything about it.. I tried to bunny hop them but clipped the skis, double ejected and face planted right in front of everyone in the restaurant.

I finally got to ski with one of my buddies from the shop I work at and we're cruising around. He wants to go to the lodge for a minute, so we duck off this trail and go to the top of the park. He doesn't ski park at all and I'm on my nice skis so I decide to just hit the first jump which is small and super mellow. I go in at normal speed the way I had done tons before, but at the last second I notice that since the last time I skied they had put a pretty nice lip on it. Suddenly, I'm 20 feet in the air and another 20 feet past the knuckle. Took it to flat (didn't eject though) and got a double case of shin bang from landing backseat and had to call it a day.

tl;dr overshot a tiny ass jump by a factor of 4 with a coworker who I've never skied with before. Not awful, but pretty embarrassing

I suck at rails but I'm trying to get better, I still do the occasional slip-out to hip-slam when I'm not paying attention. I'm usually all steezed up and I know I look dumb, but I'm having fun... so fuck the haters.

alos, doing nose butters/ tip stands waiting for my buds at the top of the lift. They watched me rip out a heel piece, had to ski down to the base area one footy while using my broken ski like a canoe paddle.

Local hill has a super-g track that you can take to get to the terrain park; we always go flat out down the super-g, air out over one of the rollers while we rip to the park. One day I get this bright idea I’m going to try and nose tap the roller, both tips catch at full tilt, as fast as I could possibly go, and I get scorpioned, tomahawked, super bucked, and I just blew up! gloves, poles, ski's, goggles scattered, I was down for about 30mins just gathering myself, I don't know how I didn't break anything, had a minor head ache, had to slow down for the rest of the day.

Chair lift was packed, no one said a word, complete silence, you could hear a pin drop, must of looked bad if people were legit shocked about what they just seen.

one time, I was skiing in "the backcountry" with my friends and the terrain was a bit too advanced for me. They skied down ahead of me, as I was making my way down very slowly. Long story short I fell, lost my poles, double ejected and my friends had to book it up to rescue me. To add to that, I shit my pants a bit in the process.

I was sitting at the bottom of the mountain in the packed gondola line, and my friend decided to push me (I was in ski boots on a metal floor) as hard as he could into some other guy. I dodged the guy but instinctively yelled at him and called him a 'Stupid son of a bitch!' Not fun having 100 people giving you death eyes for a solid few minutes.

First thing first, why do so many skiers shit their pants.

1. Tried to nose butter right off the lift at Granite Peak, double eject in front of some hot snow boarder and skier girls and they laughed. I was sad.

2. In the lodge I bought some food, my hands were kind of numb and I could barely hold on to the pen when I had to sign the receipt, I made a fool out of myself in front of the fairly good looking employee. As proceeding I got ketchup on my jacket

3. This girls who really annoys me who is a total gaper goes straight through the park when she has future spins, I eat shit on a rail and she called me a gaper

There are more I have to think

warning: snowboard story coming.

first day riding whistler, 60+cm pow day (from ontario so never even seen powder), decide to be a hero and challenge the run right under garbanzo. take tiny little drop (maybe 5ft) too far to the nose of my board and front flip through pow right back to my feet. feel like I may salvage this run after all, but immediately catch tail of board off small tree. backflip for days (not back to my feet), slide what felt like miles down the lift line on my back.

got up, took a bow, showed appreciation to my adoring fans, and rode blackcomb the rest of the day

Knuckled the 3rd jump On Sugar Maple at Granite last season. Double ejected and slid all the way down the head wall. My skis stayed on the knuckle and I had to climb up the Icy run with little 1 Inch footholds to pick up my stuff. I think that is why they eliminated that jump this season, If you fall... You aren't going to slow down.

Was on a t-bar with my friend, he fell off cause he was being stupid, so not wanting to fall off and go all the way back to the line I grabbed the bar and stuck it between my legs. All was well until I got to the top, and discovered that it was stuck. I couldn't get it out, and the lifty at the top saw this and just laughed, and didn't stop the lift. I was dragged up the rest of the glacier up an ice hill through the emergency stop gate where finally the high was so great that it flipped me upside down and dropped me on my head. Everyone was laughing at me, and I learned to respect the tbar more.

I was doing a back slid on a pretty big rainbow box and about a third of the way through I ended up catching an edge. I tried to re balance myself with the down hill ski(still in the back slid stance)and ended up crossing that ski over the other like a screamin seamin. As I did this I proceeded to fall off the box because I am not vinny cash. I rolled on the box all the way to the landing, didn't eject out of my bindings, skis still in screamin seamin position, and my homies were ahead of me, unaware of what had just happened. I just lay on my back helpless, like an upside down turtle, trying to take my binging off with my hands... this all took place in plane view from the lift.. longest forty second struggle of my life.

I sent the second smallest jump on Snowmass all the way to the moon, first lap through the park on skis this year, all because some guy mentioned that there was no need for a speed check. That shit hurt my pride, then he comes flying over the jump three seconds after I re-enter the atmosphere, while I'm sprawled out on the ground and get's pissed.

Demoed some skis the other day, and decided to see how soft they were by doing a nose butter at the top of the lift. Didn't even get the tails off the ground and my heels pop out of the demo bindings, I smack my knee on a toe piece, and loudly grunt, all while people are standing around or getting off the lift right there.

i ski at smugglers notch, vt. Not much of a park so all last year i would just blitz the lift line and boost smaller drops as much as i could.

Well one spring day I decided i was going to send it huuuuuge. Biggest gap ive ever done in this particular spot. I land except its in a pile of slush. Skinny park ski dips in and doesnt come out. I end up tomahawking so hard for about 30 feet.

I got up laughing my ass off at how stupid that was of me. I proceed to close my yard sale down for the day except im missing something.... One of my poles did not have a strap and that pole was no where to be seen.

I never did see that pole again, after searching everything from the woods to in the snow. Redeemed myself later by taking that same drop on my moment bibby's!
