Rant About Whatever

theabortionatorFuck it. Driving my car to phish tomorrow night. I don't care if my car makes it there or I leave it in literal flames, I'm making the fucking show.

I need to do something.

This show won't fix everything, but it'll be nice to do something just for me.

I mean everything else is fucked, might as well.

OregonDeadSend it! NYE man. Phish is gon be a party!

Titus69I paid $12 for a medium fountain drink and 3 decent chicken tenders today, fuck resorts.

cornholioyou gotta know people. the hookup who gave me a slice of pizza and a burger with a drink for $0.82 still hooks me up with free lift and food discounts 15 years later

Profahoben_212Fucking broke my binding today. Fuck. I need a new toe piece for a fks 155 if anybody has one. I'm fucked for the next month and I have to compete on these skis in january....fuckkkkkkkk

nutz.probably doesn't help much but I have a full set of fks 155's if you're interested?

DeebieSkeebiesdropped my car off this AM for an oil change, now I need new brakes even though they were replaced over the summer? fucking hate this dealership so much.

Titus69I got the in at my home mountain that I should use more often but not at mt snow where every employee that doesn't ski, also doesn't speak English.

little_booI hate writing new resumes and cover letters. Especially generic cover letters that don't yet have a target audience.
"Let me brag about myself without sounding like an asshole"

crotchventThere is no way that you need brakes already

DeebieSkeebiesThats what i told em. Said no fuckin way. Its a 10 year old car with 140k miles and its on its last legs. Too many little car gremlins and i need a small truck like a tacoma/colorado/canyon.

Profahoben_212Tacoma or Dakota....not a fan of the Colorado or Canyon

theabortionatorLiterally don't even know what to do right now. I've gotten fucked over by too many smaller places that took advantage of how nice I was.

Really don't want anything that isn't a legit job. Also have the experience to back that up. 12 seasons done in my job. 15 at ski areas. All with pretty amazing references except for maybe one that we didn't see eye to eye on things. I fucking hate job politics though.

All I want to do, all I've ever wanted to do is make some good parks for the kids. I never had a terrain park growing up. I guess that's been a big part of my obsession with this career. Every hill has some limitations, but at the end of the day, A lot of places aren't doing the best they can, and to me that's not acceptable. I was hoping to ditch out on the smaller places and go back to the big stuff but after the Euro and Ca jobs falling through, I'm kind of lost.

I wish there was some small hill where I could just build and build and make things sick for the peoples. I don't care what I get paid, I don't care what our limitations are. All I want is a place that cares enough to try, and let me do my job. My 2 jobs for this year were bigger gigs with smaller roles and don't play into this. But some of the places I've worked and places people have told me about. Fuck.

I grew up in a town with no skatepark, the only places that were skateable the cops would be called. I built a mini ramp in my driveway and garage so I could skate. The local hill had no terrain park and it wasn't until I was 16/17 that I rode a park regularly.

The local kids at a lot of these places have no other spot to go. They go to the place that's close, the place their parents can afford a pass and drop them off. It's just a bummer that so many of these smaller places put so little efforts into their parks.

I really fucking hope one day that I find a good gig somewhere at a company big or small, where I'm not butting heads, and I can make some sort of impact. I've had some success in the past as well as some giant waste of times. I've had several very talented friends leave this industry after getting too frustrated with things. I'm always scared that this may be my last season. I never want to lose that passion that I have for this. When I work 23 hours straight to finish a setup and see kids having fun hitting those features after. The money is irrelevant. That's all that I need. But sometimes this industry like any other can be a fickle bitch.

Maybe, fucking maybe I can land somewhere good, that I mesh with, that I can do good work with, and just have things work out. For once. That's all I fucking want. Idk why that's too much to ask, but the universe doesn't seem to be on the same page as me right now.

It's good to see everyone getting snow this year. Have a good season folks. Sorry for the bitching. Just sad right now honestly.

milk_manYou're the man. Wish we had you around here..

SkierBetchI cut my knuckle open... With a BUTTER knife.

DayManStill waiting on my bags from delta (three days later) and now I'm going back to school so they have to be rerouted again, and they don't know if they can make it there by Thursday, which is when I'm leaving for a ski trip, and they have my ski bag with both pairs of skis, my poles, and my boots. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT DELTA YOU CUNT OF A COMPANY FUCK YOU.

DeebieSkeebiesPowder Mag makes me laugh. "Heres a lowkey awesome small gem of a ski area nestled away from the crowds and has fresh turns all day", "Lets post an article about it on social media so thousands of knobs can know about it."

We are starting to run out of best kept secrets in skiing, Utah has none of them left either. Cant we just all shut the fuck up about things?

daannnnieelif a butter knife is sharp they're fucking dangerous.

DaphBig Sky does this shit. Boasts about no lift lines and such but promotes themselves like hell and soon they wont be able to use the lack of lift lines as a promotional gig anymore. At least we don't have a major city or airport near us so we'll never see the crowds that colorado or utah gets. but still, the growth in the 6 years i've been here is fucking insane.

.lenconSo is Big Sky not supposed to promote themselves? They need business lol. I don't care if the mountain does it, I am just not a fan when some 'local' goes out and finds a spot and tells all of their friends. Still some hidden gems, but I have been seeing way too many people in places where I should not be seeing them.

SkierBetchI'm embarrassed to say no, it wasn't a sharp one haha it was one of the rounded tip ones. I was trying to open a package, it slipped so forcefully it busted my knuckle open a little bit.

At least I got my pizza!

daannnnieelif you did that and didn't get the pizza i'd be at least slightly disappointed aha

extra points if you got blood on it and whatever'd it still

SkierBetchI know I got blood on the wrapper, as far as the pizza... I guess it would've blended into the red sauce if it happened.

Either way I still got pizza and that's what matters, I was pretty hungry!

DeebieSkeebiesdon't beat yourself up, I still have my finger wrapped up from trying to fix the tailgate latch on my car with a sharp pocket/fishing knife and got myself really good. positive I need/needed stitches because its been 3 weeks and its still sore as fuck and gross and yellow and shit.
