Horrible skidays

Just sitting (with TvD2202)here in the chillarea of d-stone(dachstein, glacier in austria)and wondering how bad could a skiday can be? Having a broken-collarbane and factionskis which have a durability like paper,the weather is shit (foggy, windy and cold af). The park is icier than the worst park on ice-coast and we have to wait 3 more hours to get back down, because of the heavy wind the cablecar is closed for the moment...

Normally i go skiing at every weather and i have no problems, but today it is really frustrating.

So ns, what was your most horrible skiday on mountain.?

Idk, the worst day skiing is still better then the best day at work/school.


But skiing with toe bang to the point where i couldnt walk at killington wasnt very fun, but that was probably my favorite day of the season so

Went skiing after a huge nights drinking, after driving 4 hours to the mountain we find my friend who was with me the night before has left his wallet including his pass on the front step of his house, it's bluebird, we queue for about an hour to get him a replacement pass, the lift queue is gigantic, we get up the hill at last and find the main chairlift isn't open yet due to de-icing. Mr. forgot-his-pass decides he's still too wasted to ski so he is just gonna try and sleep on the ground. We decide to hit the park, it's concrete, second lap I miserably fail a little 3, cos I'm hungover and not that good anyway, and blow my knee up.
Me and the drunk dude decide to head down and sit in the lodge. The one sober dude, with the keys to the car, decides he's gonna do some epic BC hike and that he will be back in 7 hours. So I spent the rest of the day with my knee swelling like a watermelon and my super hungover friend alternating between trying to sleep on the table and trips to the bathroom. Pretty much sucked.

Got all pumped up for a perfect day of skiing, drank my daily mix of monster and coffee, turned the music up to dangerously high levels..... but the hill was closed when I got there because every run was pure ice. Rained like a 1/4 inch that night and froze over and I never knew. Most depressing day ever. Blue-bird skies but the temperature wouldn't get above freezing.

worse day was probably my last day of the season where the weather was so shit i couldn't see more than a meter in front of me, still, headed out to the bigger park in another valley which took me an hour (by ski) and getting drenched cos of the rain (which made the snow sticky as hell). I had the biggest shinbang I've ever had (it's actually periostitis, I might have to get surgery now, to get a rough idea, I still can't walk without it hurting loads more than a week after my last day of sports). I was alone and my music app decided to stop working completely so felt pretty depressed on my way. At the park not only were all the jumps closed (obvisouly) but only 3 rails and a box were skiable due to no shaping the night before. I was really starting to feel I came all the way for nothing. There was of course nobody in the park a part from a snowboarder who stayed for 20minutes. After a few backseat landings and my third paracetamol I really wanted to go home, considering taking lifts down and up only because of the ridiculous pain I was in. But, knowing this was my last day of the season, I didn't, kept trying to grind the most sticky rails I've ever done, and landed switch ups, 2 ons for the first time. So whilst I might now be in serious shit with my shin, it was totally worth it because had I not gone I would have regretted for a long summer. Just proves how much conditions can be shit before I'd ever actually give up any second of skiing.

Ski is life people.

Nothing has been worse than working as a lifty on a pow day. So shitty but seeing everyone stoked makes it a little better.

I don't think it would be that bad if you got ride breaks.

My worst was trying to ski on my broken ankle was sooner than I should have last year. Barely made it down the mountain I was in so much pain. Second worst was probably getting concussed. I didn't want to go down in a sled so I skied down under my own power, which I don't even remember doing, and then just sat in the lodge all day feeling bad for myself. Weather never really ruins my day, but back when I had race training at night in MN and my toes were numb from the second run on that kind of sucked.

yeah it sucks but you still get to go get some turns. mainly because all your co-workers and managers wanna go get pitted, there have been numerous days where my leads told me they wanted to rotate as much as possible so we could all go shred.

Lucky. That wasn't a thing here. No one was allowed to ride at all during their shifts besides instructors. I usually worked 10-8 so there was only 2 hours after my shift to ski.

The worst is when you're checking out a hottie trusting your goggles with super tint to then realize your goggles in fact do not have super tint and you have been caught peekin

I had a day skiing at my shitty local hill with freezing rain and no goggles. I basically had to stare at the ground all the time, it was not fun at all.

i had blocked a shot right above my skate on my left foot a week before a trip to boise and slc, so the first day we were cruising solitude, i go to put my ski boot on, can barely put it on due to the pain. i end up not being able to turn left because it hurt so much and was so swollen.

But we got back to my friends house, popped a couple advils, iced that sucker and had the best day of my life at alta the day after

I never had a bad day skiing.
Last season i bought my boots too big and didn't have the money to get new ones. but even with horrible shin bang, skiing was still awesome.

worst day was when i bombed a cliff and landed on some bushes, i laid on the mountain without moving for about 10 minutes. i couldn't feel my legs. The worst part was my buddies were literally waiting for me at the start off the park 20 feet away. Some old gaper comes up to me and says something to me in french (was in quebec) and i just tell him to leave. that was a bad idea cause after he left i thought i broke both my legs. So after 10 minutes i try to stand up and i can't i struggle for about 5 minutes just to get on my feet. Got my skis on and my pals had to help me down. Looking back at it, best day of the season.

Mt. Bachelor, December 28th 2014

It was so cold and blowing snow with almost zero visibility. My gloves were soaking wet, and i forgot to pack snow pants that covered my boots, so i had to wear an old pair that barley went down the the top of my boots. Also, the conditions were super patchy, one second you'd been going fine than there'd be a sheet of ice. Damn that sucked
