Meeting nser's / skiers on hill.

HoodlivingI've met a decent bit of you from riding on hood the past few years and have been noticing a trend. Its spring/summer and everyone flocks to Mt. Hood or the other respected late season places. Obviously there are alot of us who end up in the same place. Everyone talks about how connected the NS community is, yet when I'm riding hood I see plenty of you from ns. I personally will wave at you, give props on a trick, or just say what's up and cruise a lap with you just for being a skier. What I'm noticing happen alot more lately is everyone being "too core to reach out" just blank stares from across the lift line or eye contact in the park with a quick look away like its a high school dance or something. Its become a popularity contest/ gotta seem so g on hill you can't talk to anyone let alone make a new shred buddy or two. I love skiing and love riding with people that enjoy it but that seems to be turning into a cliche to ski with friends, now its all about being a snake and trying to make sure you looked cool doing it. I've boarded for years then came to skiing due to how much more legit and fun it was, yet 8/10 times if I'm on hill there's a handful of park rats with their chin to the sky acting as if they're the hottest shit yet in reality they're a dime a dozen burnt out ski bums that hit 19-22 and realized they won't ever make it in skiing so they become arrogant tools that shred so much harder than that 12 year old that was trying a flat box (too bad he wasn't watching your sweet lip front 2 cause he was out having fun with friends) Long story short, talk to the skiers around you, most of us are chill and don't harsh the mood, but if you meet someone that does just take a lap then peace out from them. Lets bring the community of happy fun skiing back not the I'm so hard look at my dick mindset.

agree or disagree all I know is tomorrow Ill be riding and waving at folks saying what's up like it ain't no thang.

SconnieThis annoys the hell out of me. I've been a pretty shy dude for a lot of my life, but I started to lose that last season. Then I noticed all the little cliques at my hill never skied with anybody else, the blank stares in the lift-line or lodge, skiing the same run 100 times to show-off for the chairlift, ect.

If you aren't good at park at my hill, people look down on you. Its just how it is. I've met very few people that were down to ski some other part of the hill. Fuck, I've even said "Want to check out the western glades" and kids will completely blow me off to ski with their little group. I'm sure this is a problem in all types of skiing, but we should all be homies. Hoping it improves when I get out west.

fghtoffyrdmnsnobody has to ski with you.

nobody is obligated to be your friend.

Sconniea lot of people are too high

Slymonthat being said, if i see you(the happiest dude on hill) you bet your ass ill wave back and take a lap!

fghtoffyrdmnssimon you a real one

SlymonC u soon brotha!

Chubz.I disagree with this thread, I've been at hood all month and everyday on the hill has been a party, awesome vibes day in, day out. Everybody has their way of spending the day how they want. Ive been riding with a pretty big crew all month and when somebody lands something dope theres always hoots and hollers throughout the park, not only from the people Im with but others in the park too. I havent really noticed any kids acting how you described but I feel what you're sayin. I think everybody just has their crew and skis with who they want.

Just because we all ski doesnt really mean we all have to ski together.

Definitely havent experienced a silent lift ride tho, sounds bunk af

fghtoffyrdmnsidk, at the same time i have a squad i ski with pretty much exclusively because we have compatible skiing/boarding styles and we kinda feed off each others energy.

fghtoffyrdmnslol I've gotten the silent treatment a few times.


s/o to whoever that blonde skier chick was for being a stuck up bitch, I wasn't even hitting on you or even interested in you, i have a girl who's cuter than yer salty ass...it's just common courtesy to shoot the shit on the lift. I'm so fucking sick of people coming to this place for like 2 weeks out of the year and thinking they own the fucking hill. I live here. Go home if youre gonna be an asshole is what i say...

Hoodlivinghow many times have you had a fat crew taking a tree run. Most people don't even leave the park at all

Sconnieskiing the same run 100 times to show-off for the chairlift, ect.

SconnieThis is my #1 problem with being a skier in the Midwest. We have tree runs and moguls and all kinds of natural hits, but nobody wants to shred outside of the park for more than a run or two.

DeepskierI feel you on that. I can't stand when kids who can do more trick say they are better but have never made a turn.

SconnieYeah Its pretty easy to expose a lot of park rats' true ability when they aren't in the air or sliding rails.

HoodlivingI say we start a trend of lines in the park but you dont speed up in between the features so you can see if homie can actually ski.

doitbigI ski by myself most days at the home hill. Mainly because I'm old and it would be creepy for me to "make friends" with anyone under 21.

MikeWeinerONEThis is how we know you are probably 14/15. I ski 100 plus days a year and my "squad" isn't always there.

Im 37 and I'm always looking for people to ski with, and I don't care how good they are. You can always switch up your "style" to go out and have fun. You're skiing, go smoke a bowl with someone and get to know why some dude/girl traveled out west to ski.

Even with my "squad" everyone feels the same way. Maybe leave the east coast, grow up, or move west. Being pretentious will get you nowhere in life.

DeepskierI hate a lot of boise kids

HoodlivingPretty positive your group of friends is the toolbags hashing the normal mt. Hood vibes. I see so many less locals on hill at this time because of all the folks from Midwest and east coast trying to be so hood. Of course we all yell when you stomp something but we all fucking hate smelling your gypsy selves from 30 feet away. I keep riding though cause I dont mind/QUOTE]

>makes thread on newschoolers complaining about people being dicks to others

>proceeds to call people he's never met before tools and assumes that just because we're not "locals" we're automatically douchebags for whatever reason.


Youre a fucking idiot man.

HoodlivingMay get heat for this but have noticed the further east you are from the more of a douche you are. This stands true for like 80% of them with the handful that are chill they also will say people back home are dicks as well

HoodlivingMay get heat for this but have noticed the further east you are from the more of a douche you are. This stands true for like 80% of them with the handful that are chill they also will say people back home are dicks as well. Its extremely bad with the hipster east coast snowboarders but that hipster mentality is creeping in more and more to the skiing side of things. I miss going to a skate spot and seeing 5 different crews.. ten minutes later we are all sessioning and kicking it. Maybe dipping from the park and hitting the rest of the town in a fat crew. Take that to skiing, how many times have you had a fat crew taking a tree run. Most people don't even leave the park at all

kamiI ski through the trees in a 4-6 man squad all season as well as hit the park in a squad, if you see me at any of the EPIC pass resorts in Colorado I wear a black and blue thirtytwo jacket with black baggy pants and a blue skull buff and most of the time I will have bud on me hmu if you see me and the homies cruising and you can come bool it thru the trees with us. Also the vibes in Colorado are dope molesquad just kickin it on the benches all the time, kicking it on the chairlift or in the trees smoking a joint or chillum. I dont even know him and Patar screamed whats good up to me on the chairlift and I screamed it back thats the type of love I like to see from the sport.

Hoodlivingno doubt, I'll be out that way this winter might just have to bring some beer and lurk your couch for a day or two haha!

Bodhisattva_doubt the vibes you are putting out are positive. Maybe that's why nobody fucks with you.

GrishnackhI'm sorry you feel that way. Next time you're in Boise, hit me up. Hopefully we can turn that attitude about Boise kids around!
