ummm, its a common courtesy to have a conversation with somebody on the chair but i totally know where your coming from. my biggest bet peeve is when people cut you off the way to a rail or jump
When 12 year old snowboarders who think there the next Shawn white just intentionally be a dick to people like by cutting them off or just talking down too/fucking with other people because they think their the shit and that thier sooooooooo good.
The lift starting and stopping several times on the way up because people don't know how to get on and off the lift. I understand people are learning and I don't blame them completely, but it's annoying regardless.
Also, the way they park cars is sooo tight at my home hill. If a truck parks next to or across from you it is pretty impossible to get out.
Ryan_HansenThis...went skiing in -25℉ wind chill today. Everbody was bitching but I thought the snow felt great.
Yeah, don't go if you don't want to deal with the weather. It is not very difficult to find out what it's gonna be like for the day and you can plan according to that. Today all I heard was "it's so icy." Like everyone expects everyday to be a pow day. It really wasn't that icy either. The snow was a bit packed with maybe 2 or 3 patches of ice on the main run but it really wasn't that bad and easily avoidable. I wanted to go up to people and tell them they should be happy that they're able to ski at all. Fair weather skiers rub me the wrong way...
NickyToorpeople cutting in line and park crew people spending way to long on one feature when people are waiting to hit it.
agreed with the lift line, but can't get pissed at the crew taking the extra time to make a feature perfect. let them do their thing, unless its the only feature in the park you have options
I was actually trying to think of something original to post here, but honestly can't come up with anything that really annoys me during a day on the mountain, besides just having a bad day not being able to land anything
When a group snowboarders strap in at the top of a run and block off the entrance to it. Its not a huge deal to maneuver around them but its still kinda annoying to me.
Ryan_HansenWhen foreigners slam the bar down on your crotch.
KneeDroppeople that dont alternate in the lift line.
doesnt matter if they're the snakers or the snakees..
gotta take your turn when its your turn.
cobra_commandernot asking before yanking down the safety bar on your head.
All of these, especially the bar ones. I've gotten hit in the head so many times by stupid fucking people who have to have the bar down immediately. Next time it happens, imma call someone out.
Also snowboarders who 'clap' their boards in the lift line. I get it, you snowboard, now shut the fuck up.
People who smoke cigarettes in the lift line. If you're gonna smoke, make it the greenies.
Bomb holes. No ones fault really, but they're so annoying. I'm old enough where I find mellow flat boxes fun again, but shit man, so does everyone else.
Having trouble thinking of any more bc I just had a great first day out. Real stoked overall.
City folks that bring their shitty vibes and attitudes to mountains.
Asian/Indian gapers that literally get brought in by the busload from NYC and clog up the mountain.
Snowboarders that hate on skiers or racers
Freeskiers that hate on racers/snowboarders or anyone who doesn't do what they do.
It doesn't matter if you board, race, or freeski. If you are obnoxious, everybody hates you! That includes punky park rat kids, entitled racers, or snowboarders that sit in runs.
People that make lifts stop or cause trouble in the lift line. How fucking hard is it to point your skis/board straight and sit down on a chair? If your kid isn't tall enough to sit on it, they shouldn't be skiing from that lift in the first place!
Snowboarders that rest their board on your skis on the lift
Shitty lift attendants. I am one of few that talk to them and 90% of them ignore me.. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
When the mountain runs blowers on open trails during the day. Yeah you do need snow but jesus fucking christ do you need it 7 feet away from my face when I'm trying to ski?
When park crew "maintains" or "fixes" a feature that is fine the first place. Just because you put nice lines on the lip doesn't justify the 45 minutes you spent doing nothing to it!
Filmers who scream at you to move out of their way with their subject. Just because your filming doesn't mean everybody else can't hit everything! You don't have priority.
When the snow would be nice but gapers/skiers that can't ski well/boarders wipe the snow off it so its corn on the side but ice in the middle. Learn to carve people! Then we would all have good snow..
not much but people who go in the singles line then wait for a lifty to direct them instead of just hopping on a non-ful chair. they make up for it though with the confused look when you walk right past them into the 20th group they could have joined but ignored.
rtl32When the snow would be nice but gapers/skiers that can't ski well/boarders wipe the snow off it so its corn on the side but ice in the middle. Learn to carve people! Then we would all have good snow..
THIS!!! Because gapers think they can do trails above their ability and sideslip the whole way. The snow is always shit by the end of the day because of this,
pl.when 9 year old ski racers laugh from the lift after you eat shit in the park. how do you respond to that??
Tell them to come down to the park and show you what they got. Guarantee you they either 180 the lip to the rail or 50-50 a box. Call them out on it, cause we all know they probably can't do shit in a park.
*TACO-DOG*when im skiing and suddenly my pants get caught in the brake of the opposite ski.
Sometimes my friend's toe strap(she snowboards) gets caught in my brake on the lift and getting it off is usually a struggle because we are both retarded. It sucks.
These kids from my school ride around the park with a portable speaker playing dubstep as they proceed to cut everyone off and sit in the landings. help
when theres groups of like 10 people waiting above every feature in the park not dropping in. and i have to maneuver around everyone who stands there for 3 minutes at every feature. i like to ride the park with a little flow, not take 20 minutes to get down the park.
shin-bangummm, its a common courtesy to have a conversation with somebody on the chair but i totally know where your coming from. my biggest bet peeve is when people cut you off the way to a rail or jump
i would have to say when people cut me off the other day with shine bang some old lady skied across the jump then todally cut me off
Eazy_EThese kids from my school ride around the park with a portable speaker playing dubstep as they proceed to cut everyone off and sit in the landings. help
Smash their speaker with your ski boot. Use the "kids" at tap features. Problem solved.
