They have black diamonds at powder ridge? Never actually skied there. My in laws live 10 minutes away. Heard someone bought the property and is reopening the ski area...

Learn it. Know it. Live it.

The Powder Ridge sale has fallen through twice this year. If we ever get a ton of snow, it's not bad to check out, but its too flat to actually get up to speed, just like the rest of the CT mountains, so the skiing is subpar at best. Still a fun NELSAP to explore.

You must not have skied Gunbarrel at Ski Sundown. People tell me that there's a trail called "Paradise" at Mad River that's steeper but I find that hard to believe.

The "Shit skiiers say" thread reminded me of a good one I heard at a party at WWU this last Halloween.
I was wandering around when I overheard this decently good looking girl talking to a douchey looking dude who decided to dress up for halloween in his full steeze jibwear, tarheels jersey and all.The conversation was as follows:

Girl: Yeah, I don't really ride the park, I compete in big mountain comps. (This comment is what drew my attention to this girl)
Douche: Oh yeah, I only ride the terrain park...
Girl: Dude, you ride Baker and you only ski park. Why?
(at this point I inserted myself into the conversation due to the apparent badassery of the female)
Me: So you compete in Big mtn. comps? That's pretty badass.
Girl: Yeah, and I'm spancered.
Me: Really? Wow...
Girl: I used to ride K2, but now I ride for Line. What do you guys ride? (talking to me and my two friends, who at this point are very skeptical)
Me: Well, these guys are both on Surface, and I ride Moments...
Girl: What? I've never heard of that, you guys are just trying to Bullshit me to get in my pants. Do you even ski?

At that point we just kept on walking and she resumed her conversation with the first douche.

^ oh trololololol that is amazing. You should have just given her a look like this



And said "Yes"

and then walked away

The correct answer is "both"

this guy from Chicago on the lift at Vail today while it was nuking for the third time all year.
Me: How's it goin'? Wicked day, huh? We needed this!
Chicagoan: Yeah, I like all this snow, but not while I'm on the mountain.

On my way to the Gunni airport at a layover in Houston. I am in the bathroom and I had my boots over my shoulder. I see this business dressed guy checking me out and I am not sure if I should be flattered or weirded out. After I walk out into the concourse he catches up to me and asks "why kind of shoes are those?" I didn't even know how to answer....

"Hello base, I'm on scene the patients LOC is slightly retarded"

Did you not know how to answer because it made no grammatical sense?

I try and stay away enough not to hear their conversations although a chick on the lift yesterday asked me if the leashes on my skis w/out brakes help make sure I don't lose my poles?

I noticed over the holidays the tourists will get all lined up, while letting empty chairs spin by, then choose a chair to all go after, but only half of them ski out. I don't care in the least though, just makes me very thankful they're still coming!

I just read your post 3 times and still don't quite get it. Either I'm drunk or you're drunk. I'm not drunk.

what part?

ski leashes for telemark skis between the boot and the ski - "do they keep you from losing your poles?"

then the chair business... a quad, four people, friends, take several minutes to all get ready and then two or three ski out while one doesn't know that it's time and stays and has to take the next chair - ooops!

more clear?

It appears that it was indeed me that was drunk. How did that happen?

Patroller's too. What is it about pressing the mic button that creates brain farts?

Not a gaper quote. More of a funny grom quote.

discusion between boy and girl re: what to ski leads to a choice poachable line
boy: let's take that and I can air over that fallen tree
girl: you do and your parents will be pissed at the medical bills they have to pay
boy: nah, i can make it over that.
girl: you're as stupid as my brother.

That last brought out a chuckle for me and the other guy on the chair.

fuckin A.

... "I hate skiing with so many bad skiers!"

I personally love how all the tourists will ski a run then jump on their smart phones, right in the lift line and start typing away. Rather then load the damned chair or step to the side so at least myself or someone else can. I guess updating your face book page every five minutes has it's price.

Every now and then I meet someone more stupid than myself and its refreshing.

I stopped just below one of those SLOW skiing zone nets to adjust my boots. As I am bent over a dude crashes into the net and ends up taking out the net and hitting me. As I'm trying to untangle myself from this net and this dude, I had a few choice words for him, after which he says to me "Why the hell did you stop there? Nobody ever stops there." After which I yelled, "DUDE, YOU JUST TOOK OUT THE FUCKING NET!" . He then responds with a "Hey its all cool man, no need to get upset, we're both out here to have a good time."

I had a ski instructor ask me on the lift yesterday if I was a big time skier. Was not really sure how to respond.

He then asked me if my skis were twin tips or rockers.

Overheard while skiing groomed, windswept ice at Mount Snow this weekend, a solid 3-4 days after a 10" snowfall:

"Man, I forgot how much fun it is to ski powder!"

Skiing with a bunch of instructors in a clinic yesterday. They were from the resort next door, but after a summer acquisition, we're all one big resort now. Plus they've all skied here more than a few times. We get to the head of the line and all chuckle because two chairs in front of us they can't figure out how to make a foursome. Our turn comes, me and another guy pull out and the two other instructors look at us, then eachother, then I hear "wait, is this a 4-pack?". Mental note to self not to set up any of my kids in class with these geniuses.

Unless he was ancient, I'm pretty sure he was fucking with you.
