Not a quote, but early this season I saw a guy that didn't quite make it through the RFID gate and ended up standing there straddling the turnstile as several groups continued to pass by in the other...

Saw some snowboarders getting ready for a lesson today strapping on their boards and one says, "I can't even touch my feet. How am I supposed to strap in my boots?"

not a quote, but I saw 2 guys walking down the street towards the bus stop pushing a shopping cart with their snowboards in it

I agree that the ice here in the west has never touched the eastern equivalent of iciness (that doesn't look like the correct spelling to me but i'm told it is)
but I would also probably exclude...

It’s insane how many people willingly pass right by a “Beware of Dog” sign.
I have one of those and even laminated my own little sign in addition that says “Delivery People. Please leave packages...

when I worked at Sugarbush they made us use the term “packed frozen granular” for icy conditions [emoji23]

my brother and I used to try to get the chair swinging as much as we could on every lift ride at Bolton Valley and Sugarbush where we usually skied.
I obviously feel terrible now, knowing what I...

I believe it’s a smith optics branded bota bag and yes that’s him 🤣

my buddy said he was hiking 4 pines the other day and a guy stopped him on the boot pack to ask if there was a cat track at the top

have fun getting those boots on at the top

apparently they include some big projection on the window saying it's all good

not totally dumbass-proof but sounds pretty solid

the new teslas have a "dog mode" that keeps the vehicle warm or cool inside even while the car is off

I wear my boots on the bus all the time. my pack is filled with my avi and safety gear not fucking slippers

Old Goat spins one hell of a yarn
that cracked me up



I like this part too. It's so awesome

yes! aka the mini hahnenkamm

I think I heard once that it's the steepest ski area in N Am but I have not source for that lol
but yes can be icy since it's north facing. Lots of race teams come there to train
either way it's a...

skinning up is more prevalent at some places vs others so I think the comfort level varies with region
we do it a lot here bc we have the excellent town ski hill, Snow King but I forget how...

not a quote but walking up the village noticed a rare sighting, the elusive monoskier...

i quietly pointed it out to andrew without disturbing it, and he whispered "notice the exposed calves- this...

I skin all the time so have nothing against it, but being a gaper is being...

wow -started crying about a run not being open? and just so I am 100% clear these were adults, right?
Harry you should have toured them around towards a nice cliff......

flyswatter is a hilarious name [emoji23]

haha excellent

bc getting that question shouted out was comical when the trail is clearly inclined steeply one way.
and chill out. we're always polite but it's a funny question when you are clearly walking up or...

a couple of weeks ago we're hiking up the Wildflower trail at JHMR and a woman one switch up from us yelled down- "Excuse me- could you tell us if we are going up or down on this trail?"
I started...

this weekend while skiing MPPG sprayed the hell out of ryandunfee and his response as he's covered in snow shavings...

"good thing I'm wearing denim" lol lol

I love the benny hill music- completes it

this is the funniest one in awhile.
we might have a potential darwin award winner if that is their general reaction to new things

I want to snuggle them all in my face!!!

take that as you will

this is like boobs for men
I blacked out after you said st bernard puppies

yesterday in gondola line...
The woman in front of us asks to her companion "why do so many people wear backpacks here?" which I heard but dismissed, but andrew thought was notable bc the woman had...

Oh yes ftr I am not afraid of gaping.
I actually do it quite frequently since I'm a wee bit of a klutz. [emoji851]

Will have to also post a sweet tomahawk andrew captured on the gpro last week...

We'd been riding the tram at furano all day and by chance had always ridden on the uphill left car.
Went for one last run of the day and got the right tram this time- to which Andrew looks over and...

Dang that was a pile up and a half

What is wrong with these people?!

I'd give some cuddling and otphj's for that trip FYI

we all exclaimed when seeing for the first time
epic

I think on the particular vehicle that I saw, they were trying to max out the rack space- but still seems like there's a better place than the front

and even better while I was looking for a pic...

I've seen this before too - the skis are vertical right on the front of the grill right?
looks so foolish

I've never had a problem with skis getting dirty on the car but if so I'd just take 'em through the car wash
[emoji4]

Defcon 0.5 is about how much he brought it haha

The tamale eating was gross tho- talking and spittling food pieces while stuffing face in a crowded tram
I was still polite tho. Always am :)

I thought that's how frenchies said they were pissed off
ie "Zis makes me piste"

yea I mean you would think that the gapers would know at least about groomers right?

here's kind of another funny one from last week-
squashed in the tram and this guy pressed up against me works...

was that not gaperish enough?
or maybe all ski instructors are automatically supergapers so they don't count for this thread ;)

I was riding up the gondola last week with some random folks and one of the women said she worked at the mountain as a ski instructor. The same woman then asks "why are some runs called groomers?"...

when I worked at sugarbush in VT a hippy girl came into the lodge missing a boot on one foot. she had gotten off trail into some deep snow and apparently her ski and boot (still attached) came off...
