-When the stitched line at the toe of the ski sock gets under your toes

-When I click in my binding it has to make a reassuring *SNAP* when they click in. Even if I know its almost certainly in right, I feel like I have to redo it.

-Loose boots

when parents bring their children in the park to take them on the "rollers"

pisses me off that they don't realize that there are serious dangers to being in that major of a blind spot, for both the kid and the skier.

Honestly, swear on my life I've been asked something along those lines several times. Because I'm a girl and there's not a whole lot of skiing where I'm from so people don't know anything about skiing, they just ask really dumb, irrelevant questions and it's really annoying. I probably should have just said getting asked dumb questions because Im a girl but eh whatever.

People that don't use up lift seats when its busy

People that ski all the way from one side of the piste to the other

The cost of skiing in relation to resort job wages, or the other way around??

-when the jump gradually gets worn down and all of a sudden has a perfect, 6 inch deep, snowboard trail right up the middle of the jump.

-when you tell someone you ski and they immediately think: so cross-country or racing

-snowboarders having the biggest fucking ego on the hill and having zero respect for skiiers

People on the mountain who think they are king shit on turd island. Whether your pro or a complete gaper. You most likely don't own the hill so don't act like it...

or just people who aren't having any fun, regardless of skill level skiing should be fun.
