Chuck full of transplants that move here and proceed to bitch about the housing crisis, tech bros buying houses, traffic and lines at the resorts.....while somehow not realizing they are the exact issue they are screaming at the sky about. Seen it happen to a couple of my friends that moved up there and its absolutely hilarious.
The people I know that grew up here are all chill and used to it. They spend a good amount of time laughing at the people mentioned above.
Once you know who to look for and ignore the dipshits the vibes are immaculate.
Farmville420Oh so you don’t actually know the culture at either of those places, got it 👍🏼
Used to live in Denver but never hit booby hill (wasn’t into park at the time). But I’ve seen on here some wack videos and someone posted about how many kids just showed up and got high or drunk without even skiing.

Like how most skateparks are there.
Maybe it was different in the past, but I’ve gone like 20 times this year and whoever said that either goes exclusively on days I’m not there or was talking about years past or something, idk but that’s definitely not the vibe at all
Also do you mean like the Ruby hill edits are whack cuz idk what vids ur talking about lol

Nah the edits are fire, meant like anything ankilla related. Trying to fight kids and stuff.
But that sounds cool that it’s not like that, when does it close down usually? Gonna be back in Denver sometime
270on420outPalisades has more douchebags than every east coast resort combined. A great mountain that is unfortunately a playground for entitled dentist boomers.

Link the vid if you got it I gotta see that lmfao
But nah, the vibe is actually super good. I’ll go there after a long day of work and bust my ass learning a new trick, and when you land something you’ve been trying for a while everyone gets hype, skiers and boarders. It’s really cool I’ve met a ton of great people there, it’s a cesspool of progression, I genuinely feel bad for people that don’t have something like Ruby Hill lol
STEEZUS_CHRI5TGranite Peak 2008-2015 had the most competitive jock culture. There was a smugness in the air. Butterstickinc and some other small crews thought they ran that place. Haven't been there in years.
Frrr, I started “park skiing” there when I was like 12 inside that timeframe, I was always scared to try shit cuz everybody was so competitive while I was tryna learn lmaoo.
nowadays the scene is exclusively kids that are absolutely cracked and under 16. Then just a select crew of Vishnu homies who are chill to ride with, usually see a few OGs that I used to ride with when winter break rolls in.
other than that it’s just Chicago assholes coming to pay $90 for a lift ticket and bitch at lifties for lines
Honestly southern utah really sucks rn. I had a good crew going at Brian Head but they all left up north for Brighton and Alta and now Im stuck with everyone from Vegas and Southern Cali that come to Utah for the "greatest snow on earth". I bet ive been asked around 5 times if my Vishnu Wides (beads go brrrrrr) are cultural appropriation and shit. Gets annoying really, really fast.
On the brightside, there is a rail jam next week and whoever can come down and throw a 2 on and maybe a switch lip to switch could win an easy pair of vokyls, the park crew sucks down here so I never even try at their jams, but this year looks good and there is nobody down here who would be any competition.

We probably saw each other a few times, kinda crazy
Agreed. I hated it. I usually skied alpine over Squaw for that reason

It was deep in nsg, hope it’s still up.
And I feel yah. I only hit it a few times but we got zero zone up here and it’s sick, 99% positive we got a local ski foundation setting up a permanent park like ruby which is hype
CoolChillGuy420It's all stoned kids at the U skiing concrete/Woodies/Three Kings making super trash skis or outerwear, trustafarians and FWT-wannabees at Alta/Snowbird, and of course Californians with their parents money tho
i agree with this so much, whenever i went it was just a bunch of people shit talking, nobody helped anyone and it’s all jus little demons doin the same few tricks over and over

Fights break out all the time, saw blood on the snow last weekend. Grown ass dudes chirping lil kids tryna learn. Saw a group of shithead kids spark a blunt in a crowded lift line of most foul smelling mid I’ve ever smelled. Hella Karens somehow end up in the mix. Lifties paying zero attention to any of this… literally the Woodstock ‘99 of ski resorts.

Taos has some of the best terrain I've ever skiied and cool vibes from other skiers but big thumbs down to the ownership and FWT qualifiers keeping Kachina closed for 5 days. I'd be pissed if I had a pass here for 2 grand and they pulled that. Everyone working at the hill is on a crazy power trip.
The owner and like 20 of his friends closed it for themselves last Saturday when there was fresh snow and this week its been closed for a FWT qualifier. Every run I saw was super lame until the one where the guy fucked himself up bad and almost died. He was doing such a sick run noone else went far skiiers left into the rock pile he did and then for some dumb reason threw a 3 into a rocky tight chute.
I've always had the main FWT on the highest of pedestals and the pinnacle of competitive sports and had no clue this was going on so was annoyed when the lift was comp only. I did poach twice successfully but I almost got my pass pulled the third time.
timberline has the highest gaper population. ski their myself and its either some rich dope snow kid on rentals or race skis or a super chill park homie. no inbetween.
bro u just hate ankilla because everyone else does. shut the fuck up npc. if u knew him the littlest bit you'd know he skis at copper. you can hate him but you need to have an actual reason not just be a fuckin bot

Butthurt tourist gets angry every resort doesn't cater to his whim
He’s not exactly wrong about terrain opening at Taos, but I wouldn’t say they are cunts. They have been really cautious after that inbounds slide a few years ago killed some people
Alta's culture has died and been replaced with transplants wearing pitvipers and flannels telling other people on chairs that they "freeride". They defend anything management does even if it is obviously anti-local. It's like a whole new toxic demographic of "outdoorsy" millennials has formed in the last couple years ONLY at Alta. I'm going to drop a Alta hate manifesto on here one day because I have so many specific examples of their bullshit

And then there’s the old entitled Alta dudes who act like they own the place. I like Alta and places with fun vibes, but sometimes the culture is a bit much. People try too hard there.

As a snowbird skier this is extremely accurate. Not everyone there is like that, but that is literally exactly what happened. It's funny because Snowbird gets the rep as the mountain with BIG EGO BIG MOUNTAIN Skiers but everyone I talk to who's ridden at both says Alta has way more ego.

For real.
*Ski's in one 1-2* FWQ*
"Yeah I'm trying to get a wildcard spot this season, brah. Wanna go ski High boy?"

the really sick shredders are either in the comps and winning or just don't care that much about them to begin with. I think Max Meza could easily knock out most of the competition on the FWQ but just loves to ski instead of traveling around spending tons of money on comps.
