What’s yours? Mines gotta be any variation of “2 skip” or 2 minus 1. Annoys the fuck out of me for some reason.

Idk about this one, in bouldering it quite literally is a puzzle that needs figured out when you get above beginner routes, so I could see "problem" in that context

I'd still like to watch you break their elbows tho
Chunderfaceor when climbers describe routes as "problems."

bro I'll break both your elbows right now.

J_skis"Dawn patrol" kills me inside every time


the terms that make touring sound like some grand adventure rather than just having the time and money to go walk around to ski one run. Some runs are impressive, but when people say dawn patrol/expedition/type 2 fun for a walk in the woods, I'm like ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....I'm glad I don't tour much

"Skiing is so easy bro. Wish I snowboarded." Or when people act like it's a flex to not ski as much anymore: "I barely ski anymore. I've been spending my time doing other things like surfing."

”Quiver” you’re not Hawkeye you’re just fiscally irresponsible .

I prefer calling my ski collection my “ bundle of sticks “ or abbreviating that term to its archaic English slang ykyk

r00kieI cringe every time I hear the classic South Park reference “if you French Fry when you’re supposed to pizza…”. Like shut up, it’s only funny when I say it.

Everyone I ever taught how to ski just kept thinking of this line and it made it more difficult than it had to be

Wouldnt the inital spin be the 90°? I always thought these two things were the same thing just different names. Is there a difference between back 270 out and blind 270 out?

Not a term but honestly the IG posts of people back slapping into powder and calling it "stomped". Sending is easy, landing is hard.

both spins have to be 180 or more for it to be considered a prezel. Sliding a rail and landing forward is not a pretzel.

back and blind 270 are the same.

Used to work at a ski shop that sold only skis NOT snowboards and whenever I would talk gear with someone I probably got this question at least 20 times a day...

"so wait....... are you a snowboarder?"

Also when people say "I'm headed up to the mountains to go ski all of the powder"

Woodward is owned by POWDR corp though.
Park City/Canyons is owned by Vail. Probably a worse company, but my current beef is with POWDR

For years there have been ‘Truckee: Love’ stickers all over the place. Recently a buddy gave me one that says ‘Truckee: Leave’ which is pretty clever
