The Dont Be THAT skier/snowboard thread

hood_boolerDon’t be that skier/snowboarder that blasts music on their speaker.

These guys always seem to be the ones sitting on lips or holding up lines in the park

Xx_Ac1dTr1p_xXDon't be that skiier that spams newschoolers with meaningless replies in order to get his post count up

Hey who is snail?

This specimen isn’t that common in lcc (Utah) til spring skiing but the couple of times I’ve ran in to them this year they’re sitting at the top a a chute and ask. Is it really narrow?! Maybe I’m just a dick from growing up here so I know the terrain I ski but still funny that they have the audacity to blast shitty music and waste most their time just sitting on the hill

I yelled at a idiot who was blasting some gangsta rap in the main lift line that had dozens of young kids in it. He wanted to get lippy with me but when he turned and realized I was twice his size and other people started clapping he reluctantly turned it off. The more I ski the more I see a lack of etiquette, but the resort I go to has slowly been trying to clean things up a bit.

Str8FreshTapDon't be that skier that feels insecure when people are yelling stuff from the chair at them to the point where they make a NS thread about it.

Don't be that idiot that yells at strangers for no reason then complain when they find you later and put you in your place.

Shred-SausageDon’t be that skier or snowboarder that goes down the park without hitting a feature and gets in everyone’s way

lol, I almost did this yesterday but caught myself. I've been wanting to try skiing one of the full length parks at my resort to start eyeing the features and building up the courage to try any of the easier ones that might be there. I realized on Saturday though I'd really be hurting people who already know what they're doing so decided to wait until a mid week when no one is there.

NicklebackFan420dont be that skier/boarder that chirps young kids tryna learn in the park! get stoked for them while they are straight airing jumps, as long as they stay out of the way then its all in good fun

Can we amend this to include grown dudes who is in their first season learning lol. I'm not good at it but going off baby boxes and small jumps has really helped improve my balance. I try to hold back until any good skiers about do do something go through so I'm not holding anyone up though.

This is probably going to be a dumb question but what do you mean by "sitting on lips?"

I should’ve worded that better, I mean standing or blocking the transitions for certain features, it’s an honest to god plague at snoqualmie

I just assumed it was vernacular I wasn't familiar with yet, but conceptually I understand now! I've only been skiing a year but like to go off the baby box on bunny slope park my resort has, and people stop right in front of the features all the time. The entrance to the park is maybe 20 feet wide and groups of people will just line up right there too. I'm getting to the point where I say stuff, I stop often too to let the experience people do their thing so my old beginner ass isn't slowing down their fun, but I wait off to the side behind the fencing so I'm not in anyone's way. Just no etiquette or respect from some people out there. I was hoping it would be better once I venture out to bigger mountains but from what I've been reading on here since I joined, I'm guessing it won't be.

of course man. anyone who is learning gets me hyped

Don't be that guy that needs to ask people online what skis he should get and then list 3 high end expert skis as your shortlist.

R/Thathappened

Don't be that grown adult who "can ski" but doesn't know how to get on a chairlift. I've never fallen on a chairlift ever, but came very close twice on Friday. First one, dude doesn't move over far enough and no space on the chair.

Second incident, I'm in line with two guys, obviously friends. When it's our turn, me and one of the guys skis up to the loading area. The other kid stayed back because he thought his friend was gonna wait so they could go up alone like assholes without some random single. At the last second as the chair is coming around the wheel, the other dude decides he's gonna go for it. His friend is far right, I'm far left. This is a quad so there's plenty of room in the middle and we both figured that this kid wouldn't be retarded and not go there. The next part happened in about 1 second so no time to react. This fucking Jerry decides to get right in line behind me so now the chair grabs him and hurls towards me, forcing me to sit right on his lap all tangled up in in each other's skis. Meanwhile the lifty totally saw it coming and let it all unravel out and hit the stop button wayyyyy too late. Maybe he wanted the entertainment but I wasn't amused.

Dont be that guy who claims he can do a bunch of cool shit and then says I don't feel like it.

NicklebackFan420of course man. anyone who is learning gets me hyped

I really like the idea of terrain park stuff but it's quite scary. I won't touch the rails, but I've been going off the big noob box, it's super wide and only a few inches off the ground. I ended up buying Salmon xdr 78's at 180, so they aren't the idea skis for terrain but I figure anything I can learn on terrain has got to help me be a better skier.
