Also on the chair:

Some Lady: What's that?
Me: A monoski.
Her: Are you European?
Me: No.

Those are valid questions, weirdo.

Did you ask him if he was Iceman?

Some gaper: "yada yada yada wide skis yada?"
Me:"yeah I'm so core."

Just trying to ensure that the oft repeated fat ski gaper quote is repeated.

The awesome part was that I was at cannon after the melt. It was bullet proof and I was on 105 mm underfoot. Who was the gaper?

not you. I've skied 114.5 underfoot (192 bros) on ice so hard that you didn't even leave tracks. That's how core I am.

You'll have to know a little Tahoe geography to get this one...

We are on Fallen Leaf road getting ready to hike and a guy rolls up and says, "hey, we're looking for Kirkwood."

Dude was only about 40 miles off and headed down a little one lane road in the woods at 12:00!

There was a dude who used to fuckin' smoke everybody in slalom whenever I went to races at Brantling. Pretty sure he did it in jeans.
He's also probably a maggot.

I wasn't wearing a fartbag I swear!

Here's a story from a buddy of mine: He was skiing somewhere on the EC (I forget where) and saw a Texan and his son standing at the top of the halfpipe.

Dad (to son): "Why don't you go on down in that stunt ditch and do something special?"

Good one, gotta use that.

I pulled a gaper move yesterday. Riding up the chair chatting with a women and she mention it was hard for her to ski cut up snow. I responded that she could always buy a turn with new technology. About that time I noticed the guy on the far side of the chair had S7's & he's looking at me. Umm didn't mean to harsh on your ride. He says I'm ignoring you..... Ok that's cool.

Can someone explain this? I see this and think it's really funny but I don't get it.

Me with a 20 pound pry bar banging ice and icicles off the roof in front of our ski school.

Guy in camo--Knocking down ice? As he walked beneath where I was working.

lol.
steep traverses + monoskis = hilarious.

I got asked yet again if those are waterskis. I've started answering "yes."

I saw a guy over the weekend in a Raiders jacket and wind pants that was better than 85% of the other people out there.

At Mt. Southington last night, wearing my official instructor jacket, standing in line for the lift. We're probably 2/3 of the way down the line closer to the chair. People in front of and behind us, we're basically walking, but it is slightly downhill.

A kid skis into me from behind.

Kid: "Whoa, whoops."
Me: "It's ok, just try to stop sooner next time."
Kid: "It's hard to stop without poles."
Me: "You should try to ski in control."
Kid: "I don't pizza. That's for old ladies and little kids."

I shook my head and got on the lift with the kids in my lesson.


A little while later, I saw a different kid skiing in jeans and rental gear, jeans stuffed into his boots, boots totally unbuckled, skiing through the park. I watched him go off of the small jump (10ish feet to ICE - its CT). He slowed down to the point where he went off of the jump and landed 5 feet BEFORE the knuckle. "EXTREME AIR! YEAH!"

Posting it here where it belongs.

Bwahahaha, I totally missed that until now. Are there streamers that have been cropped out of the pic?

I shall forever use this new terminology in my everyday life. Sooooo core!

Yeah, it can be hard to tell. I watched a guy in a starter jacket that said something about rugby and wearing a mullet rip down Saddle chute at Rose (which incidentally has a strict no mullet policy posted at the entrance--surprised patrol hadn't pulled his pass. Standards must be upheld, no matter how well someone skis.)
