Don't be too overjoyed when skiing. You might get busted anytime! Always keep yourself calm and in control.

If I'm thinking of doing a trick I have never done before that I believe is possible for me I always ask my friend or a random stranger if I should do it. If they say no I usually don't but if they say yes Its likely I will do it. I always have to ask someone lol idk why.

One of my skis has the k2 symbol on it, that ski always goes on my right foot. Also for me you never tell someone to watch you do a trick and you never think about all the people watching you, its screws me up. That last one isn't so much of a superstition though.

I was skiing with Nacho at the NS Gathering this year and he called last run. I slipped out on some ice and my heel piece fucked me in the butt and it hurt. I still blame it on him.

I always like do this little nose-tail tap thing on the ground before dropping to do a new trick. I don't know why, I just do haha.

Not really a superstition but I always try to hit the side/tips of my skis together when riding up the chairlift. For good luck obviously

When someone calls last run you either have to bomb the nearest black diamond while sitting on your tails or do a spread eagle train

We always used to listen to White Zombie on the way up the hill when we were in high school. Still like to listen to them in the parking lot while I'm getting kitted up.

I always put a red sticker on my right ski.

Not superstitious, but the day I blew out my knee, I was skiing on Faction Thirteens, with the bindings set to 13.

Partially get the superstition of the 13 thing but you may have blown out your knee cause of how high your dins were... Not superstition

The last run thing is totally real haha. I've had friends that have called last run and gotten wrecked hard. This year, I called last run until lunch and boosted something that was poorly spotted (still my fault for boosting) and I practically shattered both my heels and couldn't walk for a week. Occasionally one of us may catch each other saying it and then we all have to ski really carefully to the base. Usually someone still gets hurt lol

Don't risk it. If someone calls last run just leave immediately. Save yourself.
