I Know Why Park Skiers Have a Bad Name

People all across the Internet,and even in person have been aware of the bad name that park skiers have. "They're hoodlums! Inconsiderate and unsafe! They also seem to get angry at us 'normal' skiers with no reasoning at all!" Said one mom at my home mountain after she was confronted for snaking a 34 person line, cutting a skier off, and going off the side of a jump at a very slow speed.

Look no further inconsiderate and ignorant mom! I have figured out the source of the problem!

Unless you have some sort of unnatural disability when you show up and park at the mountain you're in a good mood! The average park skier dresses in the tallest of their T, and locks in his boots. Snapping on his/her signature twin tip skis they find the line to the lift to the nearest park.

Now this is where it starts, you're in the mood... About to do some laps to warm up, and get your head in the game... You may even go as far as to put in some headphones!

When you suddenly feel this sense that something is pushing your skis... Almost like there is a slope forming in front of you and you're moving forward slowly gaining speed. Then it stops, starts again, and stops. Like in jolts. Curiosity spikes, what could it be?

Only to be that mom, standing behind you, unknowing of the struggles of twin tip skis.



picture of mom^

THIS IS WHY. Gapers push their tips against the back tips of twin tip skiers. This pisses me off so much, and everyone I know feels the same. I want to go ape shit on whoever does this to me but I know with all the kids around, it wouldn't make anything better. Especially to the falling reputation of those "Tall T wearing hooligans! who really don't deserve the privilege to ski on our 'otherwise perfect' mountain."

So let's skip ahead, the same mom hits that side of the jump after snaking everyone. Who took the first shot? T'was her Newschoolers, T'was her. There is justification for freaking out on her right??

Anyway here is the solution.



It's pretty good right? Simple.. Gets the point across... I'm going to put this to use next weekend and I'll get back to you Newschoolers.

Nah send it into On3p instead. If you had it on a j the tail would break after your third time skiing so it wouldn't do much good

i just lift my skis up and slam my tails down as if i was testing my binding retention before hitting a big feature. Im make sure I cover at least 6 inches of their skis with mine.

I was getting major hate at the hill for having the praying skull thing on my ON3P kartels. Lots of moms think it's offensive and against their religion or some shit.

I'm at the point with my current equipment where I really couldn't care less if people run over my tails in lines. However, late last year when I just got a new pair of Nordicas some guy pretty much full on carved across my skis and in doing so stripped the top sheet down to the core right in front of my toe piece.


If you can't control yourself, don't go mach 1 into the lift line.

I do something similar. I'll put my tails over the front of their skis and just kinda sit there not moving until they say something

Me and my two friends got yelled at this weekend at Sunday River by a out of state flatlander couple for "cutting the line" when in reality, we were going into the singles line and the ropes for the entrance to the actual line were setup like 200ft uphill. So basically this flatlander couple unknowingly snakes the line, and then yells at us for going into the proper line. When I told them that we were going into the singles line and the other line started further uphill they began cursing us out. Real classy.

Huh? People step on the backs of non-twinned skis too, and snowboards. Does this really grind people's gears? What?

If that's true than I'm about ready to despair.

Also I've never really cared if people step on my gear. Oh god, I'm going to hit hit grinderbarz, or some urban ledge but GOD PLEASE STOP SOMEBODY FROM TOUCHING THEIR SKI TO MINE!!!!!

If I see OP in the lift line I'm going to quickly sharpen my edges and stomp all over his tails. Or just carve my initials in there. "Borty was here. PS: Fuck yo skis!"


The lift line is serious biznessss

given i'm now mostly riding on handmade prototypes this grinds my gears so much. fucking jerries all up on my tails with their rental gear, not giving a fuck. my first port of call is the death glare, followed by a kind, "can you not do that please" following that I will push back a little and let my tails go up over their noses and jump up and down. generally people leave you alone after that, sometimes ive felt like decking people over it. just because you have total disregard for your equipment doesnt mean i dont care about totally unnecessary damage to my skis.

Use to put flatlanders on the dankest of dank ganjolas. They at least give some nice up skirt shots in the summer time for weddings.

I think that we are forgetting when we were once little kids who just wanted to go off some jumps and I am sure at one point or another we hit some peoples tails so my solution is that we as a people need to calm down and just GIVE THEM THE FUCKING DEATH STARE.

Tell them you know where they live. If they scratch your skis again, you will destroy the nearest pizza place, shit on their doorstep, empty their house onto their lawn when they're on vacation. You will cut a hole in the side of their pool, slash their cars tires, then after that prank call them acting like your a relative who is about to die. They won't make it in time because of the slashed tires. Problem solved amiright?

it sounds like your just randomly deciding that your going to get upset over something that 99% of people inadvertently do. I've caught myself doing it to people and I sometimes notice people hitting me in line. Don't be that guy that is like, OMGZ my precious topsheets!!! Lame.

it doesnt really bother me much when it happens but when i feel something touching my skis i automatically turn around to see what it is and jerry usually looks at me through his orange smith goggles and says sorry and i go along on my way.

Like some others also, I give the death glare then stomp my skis on theirs, the next step is put your ski between theirs and swing your foot left and right almost guarantee top sheet chip on theirs. My favorite one I have done was act like I was gonna slide forward then used my poles to nose press hard and the gaper skied his belly into my tails and I snapped em down on his toe pieces he was so pissed.
