How would you define skiing culture.

I'd go with "No Rules"

Depends on what niche. Park culture is more stoner/party culture, and ski bums that don't make much money. I can't say for sure cause I've never raced and don't know any race kids, but I get the vibe that they're sorta uptight, higher-than-thou, rich kids. Correct me if I'm wrong, like I said, I don't know for sure.

On the east coast, people like to pretend they're enjoying it when they aren't.

Haha, nahhh. I love every day I get out there. I can count only 3 days in my life (my dad had me on skis when I was 3, 22 now) that I would truly say I wish I didn't even bother going (due to conditions 2 of the days, and injury on the second run the other). Other than that, I'm always loving every minute of it. Including the stupidly cold days.

-blindly following urban trends-

pretending to be hood or gangster and can get away with it because actual dangerous people never set foot anywhere near a ski hill...

some of you could definitely get robbed or be the victim of a murder acting the way you do on the slopes

In my experience race kids would get rowdier than the park kids. Group of racers from another mountain threw a luggage cart off the hotel roof last year.

Haha Agreed especially the college club teams... basically just a bunch of goobers don't know a thing about racing, but Its the best ski scene at the school so you just go with it.

- getting behind your mates
- following sick as trends that people froth on NS (LSM)
- not progressing because LSM doesn't
- hating on those that progress because fuck progressing the sport
- hating on people for making money in the sport even though everyone wishes they made money when they ski.

A mix of skateboarding, snowboarding, poverty, and dirtbaggetry, with a side of the reallest thug input straight from the streets.

In my experience super judgemental atleast in the park. Maybe my hill is just full of d-bags.

Ski culture is sick when everybody around you gets it. Anybody that yells at someone for cutting them off or just gets upset at someone on the mountain just doesn't get it. Chill out and enjoy the day
