TheSeaCaptainThis is like the universal tourettes tick of all skiers. Lift lines. Top of runs. Right before hitting a feature.

standing in powder: "How high can I make it fly!?!"


Yesss. Someone understands! and don't forget when your waiting for snerberders to bind in. Shit just happens so naturally

The real question is, what do the pros do before they ride for goodluck?

Sacrifice pretty virgin bitches during every snow drought to please the snow gods in the hopes of a healthy blessing of fresh pow.

Also when driving to Stevens pass from the westside you go through a tunnel and when you do so you are supposed to turn the music down honk twice and hit the roof twice when driving there and back, calling upon the blessing of Selassie for your day of skiing

PoikenzDoes PC count as holy? I only ask because 2 parties are fighting over the land, both claiming it to be theirs.


In a way I suppose its proximity to Chads gap makes similar to modern day israel and palestine

Victory beers in the parking lot. If you forget them, your next day or drive home is ruined.

We pick our feet up and hold our breath while opening the door when we go over a cattle guard. We pick our feet up so snakes under the cattle guard don't get us. We open the door to let the snow fairys onto the mountain. We also never call last run cause then you'll get hurt. You say two more if you know what I mean

Slurpsicle.When heading up to Bridger Bowl you ALWAYS salute the whale statue. If you don't, a dark and dreadful day awaits you on the mountain. Trust me.


Always, I forgot the day I got hurt. Pretty sure that caused my injury.

Did it this past week at Snowflex completely on accident. I was like I'm gonna hit the corregated one more time then head up to do some jumps. So I go up to it and step on, slide halfway down, I must have caught the inside edge of my back ski cause my binding ejects, I lose my balance and taco the fuck out of the thing. It still hurts to breath a week later.

If you don't believe calling last run is a thing, you're fucking wrong.

Shit, sounds rough. I broke my ribs last year on a tree after I hucked a cliff on the last run on the first day of a 3 day trip. Sucked sitting in the hotel while everyone else was out shredding.

one time on the last run, it was called last run multiple times.....the run before i broke my binding and decided to take the last run on a friends pair of girls skis the went up to my belly, the bindings went to din 8 I think. Well they randomly released a lot when I would turn and whatnot, and on this tiny lil dragon box they flew off and I didnt even fall hard but just fell over on my shoulder snapping my collarbone. Damn did I feel stupid. the end

Damnnn that's super shitty. I'd have been so pissed. Moral of the story? Never, under any circumstances, call last run. Ever.

I always zip my jacket all the way up, adjust my goggles and facemask, then pull the shoulders of my jacket up then drop.

MinggIt's really, really retarded but before I try something new I tap my tail/nose on the ground to get the snow off my skis then I go for it.


I do this exact same thing.
