    Words skiers use for "crash"

    What different words do you guys use to refer to a crash. Yeah, I know there are lots of different kinds of crashes, but I want them all.

    I got a bunch of from this thread: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=93745 but want more.

    I have a reason for this (stupid bet), but it isn't really relevant. I know you guys have some good/funny ones.

    I'll play. I didn't check out the other thread but I'll throw in what we use:

    -beater
    -stack
    -auger
    -lipstand
    -whipper

    -if there are a bunch of beaters all at once, it goes by the term "gravity storm"

    that guy took a digger.... when he tried it again, he got spanked. then this joey stacked right in front of me and i got pwn3d (poned)...
    while i was righting myself up, this dumb hoe was doing the pizza after much too long of a french fry streak and tommied into the snow maker. she got up and asked me what happened and i told her that she could make up any word or phrase, even masturbation phrases, and apply it in place of the word crash. so she claimed that she had survived mountain rape

    Tomahawk! The most fun to see (if you're sadistic, which I suppose I must be a little then).

    Just thought of a new one that I'm going to try to use(Knumbskull you reading this): Take a Knapp! haha

    Nice WOD reference...

    Scorpion is another one. Landing on the belly with skis coming towards the head. Fun.

    How about "ostriching?" (A hands back face/head plant)
    And also "scorpioning" (An "ostrich" combined with kicking yourself in the back of the head with your ski tails)

    Oh don't get me started on ski crash slang terms!...

    "Starfishing" is a sideways variation of the "tomahawk."

    Don't forget the ragdoll, a lightly less spectacular version of the rare and impressive Tomahawk.
