    Reminds of guide giving orientation before boarding Aiguille du Midi tram. Guy next to me whispers "What's a crevasse?"
    How does a guide say "You're an idiot"? "That's a good question."

    Today on the 1600ft Keystone WROD...

    An adult male skier way ahead of me takes a 5mph slow-motion fall, and both skis eject, so obviously his DIN is set to about 3. I know I can stop in time, so I hockey stop hard, being very careful to make sure my spray doesn't bury him, and I pick up his skis for him. As I hand the skis to him, I notice a huge 3" x 4" sticker on the base of one of his skis. It's the price tag sticker, and it's only just barely starting to show signs of wear.

    Me: "Here ya go. When you get home, I recommend you remove the price tag sticker off your skis. That way, your skis will slide more smoothly."

    Gaper: "OK, thanks."

    Kills me when I see someone with DPS skis and they're a step above snow plowing. Just horrific.

    I hate that guy. He has old relics on his feet with duct tape gloves. Then rips the shit out of it.

    Guy in rentals with one boot in walk mode...

    Me: “Hey man one of your boots got flipped into walk mode.”
    Gaper: “Oh thanks man!” Proceeds to use pole to eject himself out of binding.

    This is standard. 95% of DPS skiers are total beaters. Dynafits, touring boots and backseat out of control. Moguls totally confound them. Douche Poser Skis. Yellowstone club ski of the moment.

    I must be the 5%. I love my Wailer Foundation 106, and paid far less than retail. Great do-everything ski.

    Guy at the top of Cornice chair at Kirkwood this morning, stretching back his new yellow ski to look at a newer scratch. I told him it was hardly nothing.
    It was way more than nothing.

    Paying full list, most likely put on a charge card = charger.

    Paying less than retail, beat the retail price = beater.

    I can handle my boards just fine. The DPS isn’t my only pair.

    Every one I know that rips uses their dps skis when they heli ski. It's kind of why they have them.

    So have you tried them heli skiing?
