    I don't ask friends if they want to ski or ride. We generally ask a one-word question followed by the year.

    For example, this year I might call a bud and ask "Shredfest 2011?". He would respond with "Shredfest! Whooo!". Then we go skiing. We're so original and enigmatic.

    Once you join this club, you refer to yourself as a "Shredfester" and after a safety meeting you become a "Shredfesterer".

    riding always makes me think they are snowboarding, until it is clarified.

    Shredfest is way better.

    Sometimes I call my snowboarder friends and say "want to go skiing?". The best part is that I know that they know that I know that they are snowboarders and not skiers. Get it?!?! HAAAAHAHA

    Since moving to AK, it's been all wacked-out when talking about skiing in the office. If you say "skiing" they actually think you mean XC - so they follow up with "skate" or "classic"?

    If you say riding, they ask if you mean "snowmachining" and then you stare blankly at them until you remember they meant "snowmobile" like the rest of the world.

    So for me, at least, its "downhill skiing" as retarded as that sounds.

    i like this^^^^

    I find a ride to the mountain to kill it, shred, make turns, or joy ride. I ride my bike to work and to buy beer, but I don't ride skis, I drive them, I guess. some times I surf them.

    But mostly, it's what rideit, powdork, and advres said.

    In South America, I'd see the phrase quite a bit, deportista de nieve, "snow-rider." Seems to work. (Seems the Warren Miller folks have thought so for a while now, too.)

    But if you're the sort who gets bent out of shape by people who call skiing, "riding," or somebody who likes to imagine West Side Story-type feuds between skiers and boarders, that's awesome. Definitely keep fighting that good fight.

    The English language has many contradicting terms and uses to explain things... like... we park on a driveway but drive on a parkway!
    Now people who have nothing to do with sitting on something are Riding ? Stop this nonsense now before our children's children grow up using stupid and dumb down language.
    For SHIZZLE !!!!

    Don't forget to add the word "free" before the word "ride", then change it to "freerider" for the ultimate coolness.

    You know, because before it was called freeriding, we were all so constrained by terminology.

    Fucking stupid.

    Probably, also saying you're freeriding at a resort is kind of an oxymoron, unless you're poaching.

    With the ever increasing size of skis and the de-evolution of the actual skill required to operate the equipment these days, skiers are becoming more passengers on their skis rather than the actual operator. Therefore, skiers are "Riding" their skis down the mountain as opposed to the old days where they were the ones in control of their progress down a mountain side.
