So I see that there are quit a lot of members on here ( active and inactive ) and I was just wondering how everyone found out about new schoolers. All I know is I didn't find New Schoolers, new schoolers found me.

Was siting in class one day, and my friend told me to read this comment. It said "pee in her butt" and I thought it was funny. I asked what this website was and realized it was a whole website for skiing. Joined 5 minutes later.

Not sure. I think I just lurked for a while. My 13 year old-self found it some how, made an account, posted 4 times, left, and then I came back 5 years later.

Friend told me about it in like 2009 or something. Looked at it but didnt care. Came back and made an account in 2011 and didnt post too much until I decided to come back in 2012 and make an account and thats when my "problem" started.

Went to buy ski boots at summit boardshop in the twin cities and was asked by one of the guys if I was on NS for a 5% discount. I wasn't but he gave me the discount anyway. That evening I went to check out the site. Been wasting time ever since.

I remember stumbling into regional forums while trying to look up this shop war thing. I was like wtf is this forum? Wasn't until a few years later until my friend goes "we should go on this ski website and make fun of skiers" (I was a snowboarder at the time).

Here I am so many years later and it's taken over my life. ha

tbatty aka t3dizzle aka tedward battesh, aka monoball used to send me links to threads all the time 05-07 on aim. Eventually his brother made me an account and forced me to use it so I could post park updates for mount jore.

And like a bed bug, once I got in here I refused to leave. I hide in the day and then come out at night to be a douche and make everyone itchy

A couple years ago I saw an edit on facebook and the link was to ns. I wasn't a fan of the forums at the time and mostly just watched edits. Then I got bored towards the end of last season and decided to stop being a little bitch and made an account. Now I spend too much time on this website.

Pretty sure I saw an NS sticker on someone's helmet at the ski hill, asked what it was then looked it up when I went home. Pretty standard

Got into skiing last year and wanted to see if there was a place with freestyle skiing on it. Googled, found this site, thought it was gay and left. Later on came back and made an account and pretty much came on the spot once i realized what this meant for my future.... hours and hours of mind numbingly watching videos of people that have way more skill than me and are some of the coolest people eva.

Typed in "ski edits" on google. Somehow found my way here. Only watched videos for like two years before I realized there was a forum. Made an account, the rest is history.

I think I was reading skier magazine in about 2006 or 2007 and they had an article reviewing a bunch of skiing websites.
Newschooler's description in the article was, "Upside: very in-depth park and pipe coverage. Downside: Peepz b droppin words like bush b dropping bombs."
