JupitahJoshMy last two seasons at my home mountain they put a 75 day cap on the normal season pass. The first year they did it, I kept track of my days and around day 71-72 I went in to the seasons pass office and said my pass got ripped off skiing in the trees. $25 later I had a new pass with a new barcode and reset on my days. The next year I tried to do the same thing, but the person at the pass office saw my day count and didn’t let me get a new one. I ended up taking my brothers pass (he had left to start a job across the country) using it for a week before I got caught, kicked off the mountain, and told that if I ever want to buy a pass again I would have to pay $400 in fines plus the cost of the lift tickets for the days I had skied with my brothers pass. I don’t ski there anymore, but they also got rid of that policy the next year, so fuck em.
Also have an uncle who’s move was to get a large cup, fill it with whatever self served food he could find and then top it off with hot chocolate or soda. Basically getting a full meal for the price of a large drink. He said roast beef was a particular favorite.
A) Nice pass move
B) Your uncle is terrifying
C) Cool name
theabortionatorWe didnt eat all the spaghetti. I refused to throw it out and put it in a plastic bag, like a store bag and ate it that night and in the morning
Went to hood with ABM summer 2011. We drove from Montreal to Mt hood, 2 800 miles for 45 hours straight switching driving every 4 hours. we then camped out there for over 3 weeks and this the same roadtrip back.
Fun times though, had been to whistler in the summer a couple time, hood is definetly a different beast
GrandThingsDude I've always wondered about this. Somehow the most uptight evagelical christian university in the world also has the the best park setup/dry-slope on the East Coast? What's the deal with that??
And for others who don't know about Liberty University this should paint a picture of how wacked out they are...

There are a few schools in Idaho and Utah like this called BYU. Some of their rules are super wack! Curfews, no alcohol is sold in city limits, guys cant have long or facial hair. Guess if the church funds them, they get to make their own rules.

I got interviewed by the Revelstoke Mountaineer for camping out for first chair while I was absolutely stoned out of my mind. Stupid facial expression, easily distracted, misunderstanding questions, everything. I couldn't find the video (it was back in 2017) but when I went back to work in the summer it was playing on the projector on my first day. Very embarrassing.
JupitahJoshthanks bro, we must be related... uncle is an og whis bum who did all kinds of crazy shit back in the day...
Uranus jokes on the playground were worth it, being "Jupiter" in adulthood is pretty, pretty good. And dude anyone who would eat a large cup of roast beef soaked in hot chocolate just to maximize their turns is a fucking OG and a HALF, wow.
Most skibum thing I've done, sleep on floors, we would rent 3-4 man cabins, and be 10-12 people, you would have to stuff in cars or similar if someone inspected.
Most skibum thing I've experienced was girls just having no places to sleep, hooking up with people to get places to sleep. Like in bed her mum called and they talked and she was like "yes we found a place to sleep"
Living in the poop forests of the trillium airstrip. Skiing all day and blacking out nightly to drown out the never ending sound of dubstep/demostic assault. People from Utah are zorched
I made a fire pit and i used a pan to cook grilled cheese and bacon at the top of my local hill after it closed
from the outside eye I definitly looked hoemless

One year we signed a lease starting in September and CMC started mid August and i crashed at this random girls house for the month. Turns out she used a fake ID to get a job as a stripper when she was 17 and got arrested and was trying to turn her life around when she moved to the mountains.
This is the go to setup whenever I'm on the road skiing. I usually sleep in hotel parking lots and live off of stolen granola bars. I couldn't tell you the amount of times i've gotten hammered and accidentally flicked my headlights on only to wake up to a dead car battery...
In no particular order:
-Gotten way to drunk to ski while skiing
-slept in my car for weeks
-tried to teach ex-gf to ski and failed
-trash picked gear
-used broken shitty gear for weeks longer then was safe
-lied to a job and said I could work year round, and quit like 2 days before ski season started

My highschool in australia has this rule. I rocked up after the covid/quarantine break with long hair and a moustache. Next thing i know, a teachers pulled me into his office, and im handed a razor and some shaving cream, and was forced to cut my hair when i got home.

I went to a state school, so they weren't fussed, but I had mates who went to fancy ass private school's who have short back and sides and no facial hair. Aus private schools are so fucked. They actually generally get more money than the public schools.
Hammered drunk at Breck. I have to pee so I start riding switch. And whip it out and piss whiles I'm skiing switch.... In theory not that bad of an idea. But I forget to account the wind turbulence from my body. Well this little thing called "the Venturi effect" whipped my piss all over my legs........... Needless to say it was some piss poor planning

Skied a full season for $30. Bought one day pass, put it on my jacket zipper to seem gaperish and faced it backwards. The hill never changed colours for different days just stuck with blue to match the branding. Had it checked multiple times with no issue, one guy even flipped the pass to check the date and still let me though. I wonder why they started scanning passes.
