None of you guys have the skill and balls to do city touring and ski the mean streets of NYC. This is truly unexplored terrain.

Queue the proverbial video of a moderately drunk upper class young banker getting towed at the end of a rope down Second Ave by his frat boy buddy in a Wrangler.

It wasn't a powder day and you are STILL posing with a "super aggressive pole plant." Geez. No originality. We know you were just getting ready for social media to be invented so you could be just as unoriginal as everyone else's photos...

Holy hell that pole plant thread took off.
Here's Beece's fav pole position...Texas tuck...
Most conditions a pole 'touch' is sufficient. Steep hard snow conditions sometimes calls for a 'plant' to stabilize the upper body, stop rotation and set up into the next turn. All you PSIA dorks know that, right?
The magazine photo was taken during an actual formal photo shoot...some made it into Holiday Valley's next season's brochures, ski area advertising, etc.

Not so much a quote, but more of a weird story that probably has a gaper element.
I was waiting in line at the Haul Back T-Bar in Fernie last Sunday. Our line was merging with the patrol/ski school gate. A couple of volly patrollers were standing there chatting, but hadn't merged in for the last couple of skiers. I turn to them to ask if they were heading up...and I hear the crowd in line yelling "whoah!"
I turned around to catch a snowboard fly by my head...it was really moving. My girlfriend was on the uphill side of me...and she ducked with her hands at her face, and the board clipped her pole....so a pretty close call.
The board hit the metal line fencing behind us and came to a rest. I initially thought that a board had somewhow flung around the bullwheel, but it turned out that it came from high on the t-bar track, hit the operators shovel and went airborne.
So pretty shocking. The patrollers were a quite concerned.
The lift stopped for a bit while the operator had her wtf moment.
Eventually a guy boards down the track and claims it his friends board. He's complaining to the patroller that his friend fell and was dragged by the T-Bar for a minute...well the friend was out of site of the operator, so what are you going to do?
The patrollers asked why they didn't let go.
He said they were tangled and the only way they could let go was to remove the board. I guess that could happen, I can't really picture it.
Anyway, the boarder who let go was traumatized, but not hurt and wanted a sled back to the base. We passed them on the ride up...sitting down about halfway up the track.
So, not really funny...but strange...and dangerous.
There had to have been some sort of gaper magic to cause this to happen. Hooray for long weekends!

It's amazing to me, the amount of new snowboarders who don't know (or care) that you need to turn the board upside down, and lay it on the bindings, when you remove it.
