In the parking lot at Fernie during the holidays, I heard this one guy from Alberta say, " What is with all this fancy gear, all I need to keep me warm and dry are my Cardhart overalls."
I guess if its good for the patch, its good for the hill"A lack of planning and preparation on your part does not make it an emergency on my part."

"Its a cannon. They use it to shoot down avalanches from those chutes up there."

Ran into a group of people coming out of the white pine trail head yesterday with their downhill gear. They noticed I had a BC setup:
"I think you guys are on to something with this back country stuff, I could never have an experience like that at a resort."

In the lift line, a kid next to me asks his mother "why are those ski poles bent" (referring to a guy with curved poles). "Shhh. Some people aren't as fortunate as we are"

while eating lunch today, a gaper saw our beacon and said, "why would you want to ski the BC when the bumps in the resort are soooooo good."

I'm riding the lift with a dude and his girlfriend.
deuche bag: So how was all the powder? (says it very sarcastically showing off for his girly, only an inch of new snow)
Me: actually these are my hardpack skis (gots)
deuche: well you must not be from around here because those don't work here.
He then feels the need to explain to me all the reasons my skis are wrong and his are right all while impressing the girlie-so being the good guy I am I preceded to hit on his woman once at the top he says he wants to see me ski so I straight line the 400 vert of double black gnar and for some reason never see him again.........I win
btw this is at boyne mtn.

followed by a massive crash
kinda like M.Cumsteins Lake Chutes video
or the kid who tried one of the booters in the park today. i dont know if anyone saw it, but this snowboarder pretty much looked like he was sitting in a lawnchair about 20' off of the ground
the landing was not pretty

Gaper on the gondola with early 90s straight skis, commenting on my PEs: "Wow those are fat skis, any fatter and you might as well strap one of those goofy snowboards to your feat".

I work at a rental shop over the holidays to get a free pass when I'm back home.
I had a customer come up to me this year to get skis. I looked at his little form, which said he was an intermediate skier. Since I work at Buttermilk, I ussually ask a couple questions to double check this.
"So what kinds of runs to you like?"
"Huh?"
"You know, do you stick mostly to blue runs, or do you skis some blacks too?"
"Oh, I've never skied out here, but I can ski plenty of blacks."
"Oh, ok, where have you skied before?"
"Just North Carolina."
"I didn't know they have blacks in N. Carolina."
"Oh they have plenty. I don't think any skiers out here can handle N. Carolina's terrain."
This last bit was said without a hint of sarcasm, and just a little arrogance.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

There are some good ones in this thread. I recently did a month of hard time in the retail trenches. I almost always have saintlike patience with the gapers, having honed my skills in this regard over the better part of a decade.
But if I have to listen to one more Right Coast fucktard question whether or not there actually is skiing in New Mexico, I'm going to get arrested for assault.If you're a relatively moral, ethical person, there's no inherent drive to kiss ass and beg for forgiveness and promise to never do it again, which is what mostly goes on in church. -YetiMan

So I was waxing some of my skis today. A friend swung in and I waxed his board for him. I noticed that he had a shocked look on his face for the price of ski wax. I ignored it. He then asked me why I don't just use candle wax? I stood there and let that one sink in a little bit.........

Heard a couple of good ones at St Moritz a couple of years ago.
English lady with the poshest voice you have ever heard "where have you boys been skiing?"
Us Aussie dirtbags "over there" pointing to a small powder bowl between two groomers
English lady "ooo I never go off piste without my guide"
About ten mins later at the top of the chair we see a family group lead by a hard arse british army looking guy with a mostache. His family look so depressed. We soon found out why when he poled away bellowing at the top of his lungs "BEGIN". It became our chant for the rest of the trip."When the mountains speak, wise men listen" -John Muir
