Why are a lot of park skiers dicks to each other?

I admit that im a total park rat, But im not an asshole to other skiers in the park. i notice that some of us arent really the most friendly to eachother. Like if someone were to ask to ski along with my crew if they were alone they could totally tag along and i hope i could do the same with crews at a mountain im not familiar with.

mmccarthy14I see this all the time. Especially at mountains on the east coast. I try to find people who are better than me at freestyle to push me to do better. Whenever I do try and talk with other groups they are most of the time assholes. Not to say all are, but some. But can we be honest, racers are the biggest assholes on the fucking mountain.

ive had some park days that are chill as fuck, but if you ski park in colorado your going to encounter some front range a..holes that will be dicks in general. especially if your not dressed in their favorite brand's xxxl tall tee and like to wear a helmet. best plan of attack is to shut em up by skiing better than they do and not saying anything to them as you smoke their monkey asses all the way back to the lift

Yo back to the original post, I feel that that is really true... It is pretty unfortunate that park skiers are like that to each other.. I ski regularly at Mountain Creek, and its hard not to feel intimidated by the older kids around you, and the little kids that curse off lifts and throw snow at others are not helping either. It has come to the point where I dont even ski with anyone at all anymore, and that kinda sucks, because hanging out around people with the same interest as you is really awesome. Hopefully we can become mature enough to help eachother out, especially to beginners..
If anyone is going to ski the 2014-15 season at Mountain Creek, shoot me a pm!!

jpastorIts same in rock climbing, there a lot of dicks but then you have plenty of people that would love to spot you or help you with a bouldering problem.

The age range is def key here, most people who are dicks are usually freshmen in college and below or at least that is what i have noticed especially here on the east coast. If you go to smaller mountains skiers are way nicer. Places like Mt Sunapee that doesnt have a diesel park like Mt Snow or Killinton, you are probably going to find some chill as fuck skiers to link up with. Mt Snow on the other hand it might be a little harder to find a crew that will let you ride with them. Fortunately for me when i go alone i can always end up lapping with some other kid who is by himself of a smaller crew of people about my age.


AYO! LETS GO GET SHARMA ON SOME SHIT IN VT!

I was waiting at the top of a run for some people to get ahead so no one got in my way. Some kid started yelling at me from the lift asking if i was sponsered. I looked away and he called me a fag. He was with his freinds and sounded like a absolute douche.

even at my own hill theres only one person to ski with and he cant handle me being better than him. If i spun more than him, or did something better than him, he would avoid me. Sometimes for weeks at a time. I eventually gave up on it and started skiing alone.

I find that now it's usually the super young kids that are dicks to everyone. probably about 8-12 years old.

better skier =/= better person


Just get up with better people- and I'm not talking about skiing skill level- and the rest will come. You don't need to hitch your wagon to an asshole's star at all.

Immature people can become turds when they figure out that they're "the best skier on the mountain". You have to remember that just cuz you're the best skier in YOUR park doesn't mean you're that great, there is probably another terrain park somewhere in the world with 30 other kids that are twice as good as you.
