First run of the day

Getting off the lift as fast as you can

Going up the tow rope backwards

Mid afternoon when you feel completely warmed up and dialed

Getting a perfect disaster

Switch carving

Slashing/hockey stops

Getting a banger clip on video

Wallies

Butters

Falling out of a trick and being perfectly fine

Taking off your ski boots at the end of the day

Well timed tranny finds

Going fast

Damn I miss skiing
 
First Chair

Lip on Blind Tru

Sliding a whole rail

Hitting a jump

Going upside down

Landing that trick you wanted

180s

trains

Spread eagles

screaming semens

chairlift cheers

chairlift beers

being at peace
 
waking up early and making a long tired drive. But as soon as you open the door after arriving at the hill immediately feeling refreshed and happy.
 
Spotting that perfect side hit from the chair

Sound of the first time you click in for the day

Finding that untouched back country line from the chair

Hot laps with the buds

The obligatory burger/chicken strips at the lodge at lunch time

Airing out 180s whenever possible

Pole smacking “slow zone” signs at high speeds

As good as a hot burg or chicken strips can be, I usually just feel ripped off and like I wasted a bunch of ski time when I could have had a tailgate or eaten a pocket sandwich on the chairlift
 
First dip into the hot tub @ the ski hill after a long day of shredding. Bonus vibes for an ice cold beer as well
 
Landing a sweet cliff on a pow day under the chair

It's always awesome to hear people cheer u on from the chair
 
Waking up at 5 and prepping all of my camera gear for a day touring

having at hut all to yourself for 3 days

returning back to the car safely

just stoking with your buds at the end of a pow day

scouting lines from the chair

exploring a new resort like its a brand new sandbox
 
Skiing through parking lots

Carving on a freshly groomed slope

Perfectly catching an edge

Shiiit 5 downvotes lol didn’t know the lodge was so controversial. We get free vouchers with lift tickets so food rarely costs anything.

i hear you. lodge food is a ripoff (typically speaking) but sometimes it's amazing to splurge and have a hot meal and some draft beers

being deep in some cold, snowy woods but toasty as hell in your gear and enjoying the silence when you stop

There is something there is something very special about being in some deep, dark snowy woods alone. With only the sounds of the muffled creaking of trees and your breathing as snow continues to fall
 
zero spin no grab arms DOWN to the gucci plateau

snowboarder family all tumbling together as they get off the chair in front of you

getting fuckin bucked by a mogul and eating shit

vishnu kids smoking you out in the gondola

flight

First run of the day

30 minute wait in line

lift stops 10 times due to falling beginners

get cutoff by a dad and his kid on the first rail

catch an edge on the second rail (must have been the ice rain)

cant hit the next feature cause someone cased the jump

roll up to 30 people all at the drop in

wait another 10 minutes before dropping

bomb hole landing

the lip of the rail after has been 404'd from the earth by jerrys

asian kid with jeans and lv jacket collide into me at f1 jet sound barrier breaking speeds

Closing your locker, putting your gloves, helmet, and Goggs on, and walking outside.

going super super fast

riding the rope, then realizing the park is packed and hype

finally getting the trick on the last run of the day

looking out and seeing way out to the middle of the state with all the windmills in the distance in the park, and sitting on the chair and turning around, and seeing the whole skyline of downtown Pittsburgh.

When the snow sticks to every little tree branch

sunsets

skiing real slow through a mellow woods trail on a nice day

Finding new trails in the woods

taking a moment to enjoy any view that’s in front of you

filming a solid iPhone line for a homie

50/50ing tubes

that little sound effect you hear in your earbuds when you play your music as you get off the chair

Taking your music out, especially on a crowded day in the park, and just listening to the tons of railslides followed by the immediate snow thuds.

Taking a well needed piss on the side of a trail.

Leaving the resort, but you know you’re skiing the next day too.

That thing when you forget what day or time it is

going on trails you shouldn’t, and then almost getting your pass clipped as you see a ski patroller as you pop out of the trees

doing any kind of trick and once you land it you think “damn that one felt good”
 
For me it has to be perfect firm carving snow and sharp edges... The power gets to your head I swear
 
freshly groomed park

a long smooth rail

cracking open a cold one in the lift

taking a break from the park to ski some pow

when you're up in the weekday and there is fresh pow for just you
 
landing bolts.

Urban feature in 3 tries or less.

Tweaking your grab to the max.

Cloud inversion.

Stomping your whole run.

Pillow lines.

Skiing through old forest.

Standing on top of a mountain on a clear day.

Tree taps on the curve.

A well executed worm turn or polish donut.

Crushing a zipper line.

A snappy or extended butter.

Blasting off a cat track.
 
Boot up at the car after driving south from campus

Ski down the rocky foot path to the lodge instead of taking the shuttle

Meet up with friends for a long safety meeting on the gondola

15 minute lift lines

Spliffs

Dodging tourists and jerrys on the way to the park

Straight-lining it past orange jackets standing at every slow zone sign (same thing as a yellow jacket at Vail)

Buttering over every knoll

Jibbing every natural feature that we encounter

Hauling ass past the mid-mountain lodge on the way to the lower park

Spontaneously finding more friends on the lift while skiing down

Chair beers

Fuck, Whiteface needs to open soon.
 
Skiing in a xxl hoodie and feeling that breeze

Finding new spots (tree jibs ftw)

Not wearing goggles

Untouched easy access slackcountry

Hollering at people on the chairlift

Meeting people on the chairlift and becoming mates

That Maccas feed after a day on the slopes (MC doubles anyone?)

Hearing the distant avalanche control booms echo down the mountain as you suit up in the parking lot knowing its going to be a legendary pow day.
