Sunday in the lift line for Area 51 at Keystone, I'm surrounded by kids in their Bern baseball helmets and pants that make me wonder "how does the waistline stay in that position?", and I'm decked out with nice shell jacket, arcteryx bib pants, small daypack, and full face helmet (more comfy with headphones than other helmet). Ironically (as I am usually the one poking the fun), I hear from a park rat, "say, boy, you got a dirtbike to go with that helmet?"
To kill the dood with laughter, I replied with some podunk gibberish about a 4-wheeler and possum roadkill. I probably deserved the question, but I thought it was debatably funny enough to post...
Also, I gave my friend some B3s (94 underfoot) to try out at Keystone on a hardpack day last season, and the report was that MULTIPLE people commented on how fat they were. At least two of them asked, "well, why don't you just put two SNOWBOARDS ON YOUR FEET?!"
