F: going down the hill

L: literally everything else about skiing is awful. I hate driving to the hill, putting on my shit, waiting in line, riding the chairlift, taking to strangers, watching Vishnu kids flap around, waiting for kids and moms to clear out of the park, skating for speed, drugged out park rats trying to joke with me at the top the park, watching someone who's good go down and knowing you'll disappoint everyone on the chair above you, prices of things on the mountain, waiting in line, riding the chairlift, talking to strangers, watching Vishnu kids flap around. I'll die mad

F: Storm days, especially spring/late-spring ones when everyones usually thrown the towel in for skiing for the season and its bike season down below. Ive bagged some of my most favorite moments in the months of April and May.

L: Powder panic during the season. It brings out the worst in all of us. Holy shit. Ya'll need to chill the fuck out on deep days.

F: pow days are great, and succeeding at more difficult things and steep lines is super rewarding also, but there's just something about being airborne and landing perfectly that gets me hyped everytime. Whether it's a jump or even a small rock/cliff. Landing it perfectly is just a great feeling. Bonus points if under the lift

W: fogged that turns into frosted goggles that you can't get rid of, so in order to safely descend the mountain you opt to scraping the frost out of your goggles and effectively ruining them.
