I was at kirkwood about 2 weeks ago, going up chair 4 on the backside. Theres a fun little hollywood rock drop under the chair, as we were coming up on the drop a skier goes through the gates and is about to drop. Naturally me and my boys start yelling "SEND IT!!!" "DO A FLIP!!!" "YOU WONT!!!" standard stuff ya know. Well apparently thats not ok at kirkwood....the lady standing at the drop immediately looked up and yelled back "Shut the fuck up!!!" whilst multiple people on the run started heckling us, "you wouldnt do it so shut it!!!" "leave her alone she'll go if she wants!!!" it was a weird vibe after that, cmon people, wheres the stoke??

rant over

Heckling is usually good motivation to send it IMO. That being said, if the drop was significantly outside of her ability level I could see how it could have been received as yall making fun of her. Either way, skiing is a spectator sport, especially when your skiing under the chairlift. Sounds like she either needs to take the stick out of her backside or just stay home if shes that easily offended.

I love when people tell me to do stuff from the lift, I'll either give it my best shot and most likely eat shit or yell back that I'll wait for them to go first. But every once in a while, Ill land it and ride straight to my car to go home. No point in skiing anymore after that, i peaked

Big diff in being an asshole to someone who is in over their head and gettin rowdy for someone who's down to get rowdy.

I play golf rules. I don't like to yell during the setup. After a stomp tho, I'm all about it.

Fuck those people. That little chair 4 drop is the perfect entry for a ton of newbies who are working their way up to being adventurous. Sounds like that lady and her friends are pussies. If you don't wanna hear stoke, don't approach a drop directly underneath the chair. Especially at kirkwood

If I was there I'd be heckling alongside you. Hit me up next time you're at the wood! I'm there most weekends

i have a positive-shouting-only policy on the lift. also i like the comment above about golf etiquette: stfu beforehand but yell whatever you want afterward

but on the other hand, that's the risk/reward of getting rowdy under the lift. the peanut gallery is there to judge you, for better or worse, so you better bring your game face

You were called out. So, did you ski down there like a baller and throw down or were they correct and you're just a bullshitter?

Right???! I was so confused, also she had to ride through the ropes to get to the spot, word I’m always looking for likeminded skiers to rip with

Hey OP, is this the spot? I found a video of my buddy dropping it right after our big storm at the end of January. Kind of a shame they rope it off so you can't get a little more speed.
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/996772/IMG-6191-MOVI feel self-conscious over my lack of stoke. Needs more shouting

Nope. I was on a mission to better snow that run, also I would never put myself in a situation where I may be in over my head directly under the lift, if I’m hitting a line under the lift I’m gonna make it known to the whole mountain that I’m boutta stomp a line, also I’m the best skier on the mountain so ya know 🤷‍♂️

honestly feel this haha. people can say whatever they want about how corny golf gets sometimes but when you watch someone stick it within like 3-5 of the pin on a par 3 or epic fairway shot, you gotta give props

If you are skiing a hollywood line. for example anything that is under a chairlift, you 100% have to accept heckling. if you chose to ski a hollywood line you best be comin correct with some tricks, and a MF'n backflip fosho. This is tradition.

I'm question is, why are you such pussies that you stopped heckling her?

Keep yelling at her and the gapers on the lift, call them out. "ITS THE HOLLYWOOD, YOU FUCKING GAPERS! GO BACK TO TEXAS IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HECKLING!"

There, just gave you two lines for the next time the meanie tourists hurt your feelings.

Got told “yo do something crazy” at PC and ended up stomping my first attempt at a Sw Rodeo 5. It was honestly clean as shit and to this day I don’t even know where I pulled that from but I thank the hecklers! Heckling pushes the sport.

Most chairlift heckling is good except “do a flip”. The best is when people make fun of you from the lift. One time this racer kid that’s was probably 5 years of age was making fun of my brother and I from the lift, but then my 12 year old brother laces a sw lip back 2 and immediately shut the kid up. It was amazing to watch

Shes probably just some jerry taking herself too seriously cause she dropped a ton of money on black crows or something. We have those all over CO. It's like they go skiing to specifically NOT have fun... idk dude just keep heckling people. Real skiers get stoked on that shit.
