When you get all your ski stuff on and your car breaks, ride falls through, your parents say you cant go, the mountain closes, etc.


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU


Woke up, got everything on and walked down to the bus stop and found out it was a no go which means no riding, and no $.

Yup. If anyone ever takes the ski bus from red lion in slc I usually do. Towards the end of the season I was waiting for it with all my stuff and skis only to find out it wasn't running anymore. I actually did that twice because I just thought the first time something had happened.

There was supposed to be a rail jam at a hill in my state, I drove two hours to find out that it was rained out. Luckily the rails were up so i skied anyway.

But it still hurts.

On the same topic: In 4th grade I got everything on and ready and got on the ski bus at school. Apparently they lost my permission slip and they made me get off the ski bus and go home. I cried. Also at that time the mountain in town was closed and we were going 50min away to a fairly expensive mtn and only we t 4 or 5 times a season. Saddest shit ever. I never wanna feel like that again.

For some reason my grandpa took both my skis up to sun valley and didn't take me...so there I was...all ski less and lonely.

But I didn't let that stop me so I broke into my grandpas shop when he was gone and stole a pair of rossis from 1950 and went skiing. Man those teach you how go hop-turn.

Guilty as well. Sometimes I even click into my skis and do presses on the carpet.

That feeling when you get all dressed up and actually have somewhere to go when the preseason shit goes down or mountain opens. The feels when you first click in and make some turns or hit some grindbars. It's like the feeling of the last day of school but better because summer ain't got shit on winter.

Also Ive definitely tossed my boots on and pressed out on the floor, and jumped on the tramp a bit.

Tramp skiing is pretty dope. Whats your best trick? I can do a 3 with a japan or safety, havent tried a flip yet waaay too sketch. Would be insane practice tho if I could go high enough.

Never tried to flip on skis that I remember. I've done it with yard sticks taped to my feet. That works the best imo. You have something long you can grab but don't have the weight.

I fucked my wrist for life trying to jump off the side with my snowboard on once. The board doesn't grip and slipped out and I did about a 6 foot head first dive. Had a grass stain on my forehead.

IT was a sad day

When you get everything ready, drive to hill, only to remember you're in the Midwest and all the snow you had the day before is now gone

Last year I drove up to t-line with some friends for the WCS public day and got to the parking lot to find it completely empty. Timberline had closed due to high winds so we went for a hike instead.

Last year on the way to Creek my brother's truck died out. And it was snowing! Pow days are not abundant in NJ! So, triple A came and towed the truck and my parents picked us up. Next day, we get a ride to the shop and were going to go straight from there to Creek since the truck was packed. The shop swore it died from a dead battery even though we told them no way that was it. The battery just died from us leaving the lights on and radio on while being on the shoulder. Sure as shit, 5 or so miles from the shop the truck died out again. It wound up being the fuel regulator or something. 2 days of missed shred :/

Oh god not my slave name! and yeah why not. I should be able to email that mtn about that and get a ticket for this season. Would never happen but it's a nice thought.



Also something else I thought of to thread. In 09/10 was driving to mt snow with a friend to film some doubles on a nice bluebird day. I can't remember what happened to my car but it broke down by that parking lot going up those big hills somewhere before bennington or wherever those hills are. Also was some dude living in his van there that sketched us out a bit but was super cool and gave us some tools. Unfortunately I had been joking about how my car was a death trap and a whole bunch of shit and my friend relayed it to his mom who wouldn't let him go to the mtn and came all the way from toga to grab him in bennington. I just said fuck it and went home. Kind of killed the vibe. IT was his camera anyway. Oh well. I probably would have broken myself doing something dumb. But it was all dressed up and 3 hours of the drive done just to go back home.
