Big white inbounds avalanche.

oh dear me you've really let yourself down there fella. this kind of extraordinary ignorance really doesn't warrant a response but fuck it, you're absurd and i'm bored.

perhaps you'd be interested to know that i've been skiing more than 50 days a year every year since i was about 3. that comes out at over 1000 days on the snow. in the alps. at resorts that make grouse mountain look, frankly, ridiculous. in fact, most of scotland's ski hills have more vertical terrain than you're own esteemed grouse mogul. perhaps you'd like to know that my brother is a partner in one of the world's leading heliski agents www.eaheliskiing.com ? i've skied in more continents than you even know how to spell, with some of the world's premier snow safety experts so i guess my pedigree is just about acceptable. or perhaps not...

lock stock: "assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups"

oops i guess?
 
^that really just did make my day complete

pwned, by an british person, how embarrasing for you, because after all. we only ski at milton keynes and leeds, and get lost on ben nevis.
 
it is amazing how uneducated and ignorant some people are. Becasuse we are british we only ski for 2 weeks a year on our holiday package..............mmmmmmmmmmm

what a lot of shit
 
well, I said I wouldn't respond to this, but after reading the hilarious replies you limeys have made, I have no choice. Living in Vancouver/Whistler and spending much time in London I have come to experience the classic brit. I even dated one for 2 years. I have been heli-skiing with brits, I have travelled around Europe with Brits, I have lived with Brits, I have worked with Brits, I have skied all over the world with Brits. What I have come to know about this curious ethnicity, a part from their disgusting nationalism which makes Americans seem tame and forgiving, is that they are unbelievably, and unquestionably upset about their own country! As much as they like to think the UK has lots to offer, they need to invariably escape, because when you really get down to it, the UK sucks (and every Briton will admit this deep down inside). And much to the great annoyance of the rest of the world, the Brits are still stuck in the mentality, although they are much too proud to admit this, that they still are stakeholders in, or can at least lay claim to, huge portions of the globe. Guess what guys? British Imperialism ended over a century ago. Although you can, unfortunately, try to think that being apart of the EU grants you some sovereignty over the Alps, and 50 whole days a year on those mountains might make you think that Val D'isere is your home mountain, it really isn't. If I can pry your eyes of the Union Jack for a second, I might be able to show you that Val D'isere is actually in France! See, when I list Grouse Mountain on my profile as my home mountain, its because it actually is. I can be skiing there in 15 minutes from my house, and I live in the heart of Canada's 3rd biggest city. And although you may think that Grouse Mountain is small and pathetic, I can be doing this

everyday after class, or work, or whatever, if I want.

Then I can go to whistler, or Baker, or any one of the many, many resorts that are a few minutes to a few hours from my house. So, please, accept the fact that I am only reiterating a small percent of the feelings of many others. We don't hate you, we just don't like you claiming what really isn't yours.
 
/\ You seem to be generalising again. has nothSaying 'Briton' ing to offer and sucks is completely wrong, sure down in London it may seem like that, I wouldnt know having only spent short periods of time down there with family. You have missed out on a huge portion of Briton, as with every country the people and landmass change dramatically. I live up on the east coast of Scotland and love every minute of it. Up here the majority of skiiers have spent a large time training on real snow on the hills. I couldn't comment on those living down south but next time your in Briton you could make a trip up here and realise the South of England and the people there make up a very small portion of Briton.

Here's a picture from the weekend and a short vid of Scottish

its a tad steep that you say we have disgusting nationalism. just alot of people here are proud of where they come from. i personally cannot wait to leave, full of immigrants,and arseholes. so i see your point.

but the south of england is much much worse than the north, and we're alot more friendly. im sure we could rip on canada for a while, but we wouldnt do that, as canada is a great place, which you are very lucky to live in, we cant help where we live,but make the most of what we have. So sorry if we disgust you so much, but tough shit ey
 
I definitely wouldn't generalize and say the entire Nation disgusts me. I just didn't like rastafariders attitude at all. We have an inbounds avi, some aussie dies, and all of a sudden he's blaming Canadians for not knowing how to ski pow properly, and not taking the necessary precautions, continuing his rant with us not being able to handle Europe? I had to make fun of him for that, clearly. I'm sorry for dragging the rest of his country into it. No hate intended to you, or your country.
 
g man, you need to pipe down.

everyone's home mountain is the one that they ski the most. I live in england and do the vast majority of my skiing in Val d'Isere, so surely that makes it my home mountain.

with respect to the rest of the rant, i find it hard to believe that you have spent time in england, you have a very distorted view of the country, the ignorance and lunacy in which you write is simply embarassing
