Least favorite skiing slang term?

[hey_dude_its_me]

idk but for some reason I absolutely hate the word 'pow'.

I'm a pretty big fan of the term 'claim' which I never really heard before joining this site, I say it a lot now.

 

[[~_~]]

steeze

durty

legit

 

[king.tubby]

"legit" is definately not legit. and, i dont know if its really slang, but i kind of hate when someone calls skis "sticks" as in, "dude, check out these sick new sticks i just picked up."

 

[brenker]

"rip" or "shred"

like

"man i just ripped down that blue square" (assuming a gaper said it)

 

[JQ89]

yeah definetly agree with you there, only fags (snowboarders) "shred" or "rip" down trails. aka they sideslip down and take all the snow off

 

[Treestman]

"fakie" or "cab"

it should always be called switch!

 

[Hubsta]

Arrghh I totaly agree with you.

 

[sconniestyle]

epic. it is so overused it has been diluted to the point of no meaning.

 

[doritos]

Rip is a little weak... shred has all sorts of old school credibility though, I love that word haha. As in "Yo man you wanna shred some gnar?"

 

[JamesR]

unless of course, they are actually reffering to their new sick stickz poles?

 

[popNfresh44]

im on the fence with steeze

___ is so hot right now

 

[skiminnesota]

SHRED THE GNAR!

hehehe its fun to mess with gapers.. haha

 

[eheath]

Afterbang. It's called rideway. But we always copy snowboarders so looks like everyone calls it afterbang.

 

[TimmyK]

i'm gonna put the vote in for gaper,

 

[.jon]

well

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

steeze is a fucking lame word.

i like it when snowboarders refer to people as shreds though. shreds and girl-shreds. thats fun

 

[J.W.]

thank god someone else hates it, i hate it for some reason or another

 

[pompe]

stoked?

im guilty of saying it, i just think it is way overused, as is epic

 

[null_]

for sure those are the lamest

also followed by pow

 

[Scott~]

75% of the terms for rail tricks~

 

[Franny]

stoked and gnar.

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

uhhh well no...

if its switch unnatural the real name for it is cab...

and im not really a fan of steeze anymore but im not gonna change my name...

 

[skihillraod]

epic is my least favorite term by far.

 

[uncle_muscles]

epic post

 

[Bigwoods]

Gnar.. or gnarly (sp?)

Never used them and never will

 

[bailer]

STEEZE is soooo played.

How can u hate the word pow? Pow is just powder without the der and powder is the best thing ever. if u hate "pow" u must never ski it.

 

[Franny]

If you wanted you could change it to bigwhite.pleeze. Close to the same.

 

[pianoman]

i hate the fact that every skier being interviewed has only one answer for whatever question they are being asked. that is "I'm super stoked for being here in _______." and then they give some generic reason to back it up.

 

[Mike34113]

i hate "pow pow" it sounds like a new Hasbro Toy for 5 year olds

 

[_steezefiend8]

agreed. that reminds me of rollerblading too much and that is not skiign.

 

[heFF]

don't here it much on here but soo many people i know say salty know....sooo gay

 

[GetPitted]

Yup.

 

[joly.sp]

i would agree with epic.

i dont enjoy hearing "sooo epic" from every damn 8 year old and his mom

 

[WhoWantIt]

shred. overused way too much

 

[TheJerz]

gnar

i hate it haha

 

[Reed.S]

you beat me to it hahaha

 

[fragglemuffin]

stoked and binders

 

[.hazen.]

fakie, cab, and i wish we had come up with a better term than pretzel before it stuck. i dont know what i would have called it though

 

[Where-am-I]

stoked is fine
but i hate pow and shred

 

[Where-am-I]

????

 

[_steezefiend8]

if you usually ski foreward wouldnt skiing backward make that switch? like if a snowboarded ha their left foot first they put theyre right first and"switch" then they are riding switch. same with skiers.

 

[sneaky_pete]

steeze and steezy really bug me

 

[rj.]

binders

 

[Luc.]

i actually cant think of one skiing term i dont like. they are all fucking hilarious.

 

[95959]

word

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

thats a pretty good idea im not gonna lie, i might use that.

+ karma for you sir

 

[hael]

I hate shred and rip. I don't have a problem with gnar or gnarly, but I'd never say either out loud. Pow is fine, but "pow pow" sounds so weird. it's like "pee pee."

i dunno.

 

[JC_Nolan]

steze has lost its meaning, it used to mean like making something look easy now.. due to overuse its become another word for any style- therefore i agree with you

 

[ben802]

yea thats for snowboarding and skateboarding..

 

[smokey420]

ILL

 

[brenker]

hahah i cant stand when people say "pow pow" i just wanna slap them
