When you go skiing is there anything that just drives you crazy or just makes you super unhappy?
I get so pissed when i think about school or when i see hella gapers "slide on the box"
So, NS, what can't you handle when you ski?

Frozen feet. If this doesn't happen to you consider yourself extremely lucky.

ski boots in general, they're bulky, hard to walk in, and when you take them off it feels like mother Theresa and god just came all over your feet oh my gosh it's amazing

Wanting to non-stop ski (no lunch break) on a perfect day, but then getting tired and hungry to the point where you can't ski well, practically forcing you to go in

Sometimes I have to help my friend get his dick out of his ski boot. Sometimes he doesn't guess it just depends if it's snowing or not. I really hate when I'm all like skiinng and then I'm all like not skiing and then we go to the chairlift.

Cliff bars will solve this issue, or brown bag on the chair, that's what I do. In regards to the peeing, learn to piss off the chair, it is a handy skill and saves the day when shredding with friends.

my least favorite thing is getting to far forward off of cliff drops and going over the front like a fucking tomahawk.

Pit vents, layer down, use sunglasses, all of these things will keep you from sweating, or fogging up.

Scratch everything I have said, over crowding and lift lines, if we could all ski in solitude and not deal with pow days getting skied out that would be heaven.

People like you piss me off. If they're "sliding on the box" they're doing exactly what it's there for. One day - maybe yesterday - YOU were the "hella gaper" sliding on a box.
