Midwest skiers > Outwest Skiers

because most people form out west have never skied anywhere other then out west. im not even arguing im telling you facts. i lived on the east coast for 17 years. I moved to colorado and people here really do not appreciate what kind of shit people on the east ski everyday.
 
all im trying to say is that if i didnt have to worry about catching my scrotum on the rusty ass barbs that cover every inch of the 4 rail options (all of which are set up to be chest high with a chunk of ice used for an in-run and a landing that is some how harder and more slippery than my teflon coated fry pan) at my local park, or have to worry about exploding one of my precious vertebrae from landing on the ice colored cement that makes up the landings to the jumps that look like they were constructed by an angry child behind the wheel of a PistonBully, there would be no doubt in my mind that I would be featured on Guacamole Sundayz teaching yall how to make bank off future spinz with a million cute and creative nicknames that only the most seasoned of NSer actually understands. Sup. Plus, Tom Wallish is allergic to peanut butter, thus reinforcing my argument.
 
I just always find it funny that people consider colorado "the west" Its like smack dab in the middle of the country and about a thousand miles east of me.
 
you are an ignorant fuck. do you think we have a choice of being rail skiers or not anyways? i better stop skiing rails and try to find some sweet pow staches on my 275 foot vertical landfill. if you ever come to the midwest, you'll bitch the whole time about how it sin't good enough for you and how all of the features are too sketchy to hit or to try new tricks on.
 
Midwest and east coast skiers are more optimistic about skiing. Hence, we make use or our shitty quality stuff, and still have so much fun. Then when we go out to a big mountain with an extraordinary park, we feel like we can do anything cause everything is in perfect condition. We may not be used to the powder or actually slippery rails, but because where we are from its so inconsistent (one day its super icy another the rails are actually slippery, etc.) we just get used to it.

Sorry us west-coasters are too busy skiing copious amounts of fresh pow to notice things like this. Currently puking outside my room and has so for the last 7 hours.
 
hahah can't take a joke? I was just trying to stir shit up man I know that skiing the shit over there makes you a stronger skier when you venture west.
 
im in the same situation, this was my first season out here in CO and people were complaining about the conditions and i was hoping they were joking.

 
Agreed

so correction Middle East Skiers>Outwest skiers

the thing about the west is people want to come here, which leads to tourists, which leads to lawsuits if the mountain is sketchy/shitty

also, i move that we ignore any skier from the midwest in this thread
 
Hahaha sounds like snoqualmie.... It rains here like every other day and our landings are pretty much just moguls. This season is the one exception, we're getting so much snow it's annoying.
 
your my favorite NSer in a long time.

Check this out. All the time in WI, ill go out to a bar and start to hang. Every now and then I run into some dude whose like "yeah I ski" and when I ask him "where?" He says....."well, I only go out west because the skiing around here doesnt compare". I wanna punch those guys in the head, then say, "yeah well I have been to bars in New York and L.A., and still go out here, so that excuse makes you a fucking pussy". And lol at the Middle East Skiers > Midwest skiers > East skiers haha cracking up

Yeah middle eastern skiers are definitely the best
 
Apparently you havent heard of mike hornbeck, spencer milbocker, chris laker, nick goepper, just to name a few big time mid west skiers. Every kid that i know in utah that is from the midwest is mad good.
 
Trolololo

you blow dick

just because you have never been west of kansas doesnt mean that you are the center of the universe

also google orthographic projection

 
I moved to Ohio from California a few years back. I am not out to say who is better but I will say this: I believe the Midwest kids have much more to dream about. Cold icy winters, man-made snow and not much vertical ft. will get good skiers to be curious about the West. Another reason is such short seasons keeps them much hungrier for skiing. They get so hungry they build backyard rails in the summer, go to Ohiodreams, Go to Mt. Hood courtesy of their parents, and dream of the day they get to shred the West. You cannot blame them one bit.
 
this thread intrigues me, coming from probably the sketchiest park in the midwest. Ski Snowstar in Illinois. Closing day last year was a nightmare, and we didnt get a decentish jump this year until mid January... threads for where this goes
 
I saw I guy on here that skis teh same hill as me. Alpine Valley in east troy wisconsin with like 300 vert feet all ice virtualy no park and it is never any good. Season ends early march and doesnt get started till mid december
 
Your logic is brain numbing. Not every west coast resort is perfect. I've hit plenty of sketchy features out in Utah...
 
id think places on the east like sugarloaf or stowe or other NH/VT/ME/NY places would put out the best skiers seeing as they have that balance between decent terrain and occasional snowfalls, and typical shitty east coast conditions. But this would referring more to skiing in general than just park.

either way you guys can keep arguing about this dumb shit all you want, but im gunna go revel in awesomeness that has been this last week/month of pow skiing, and get ready for another day in the white room tomorrow

I do harbor a moderate amount of anger for kids that have never experienced a poorly, sub average park with 200 vertical feet, and take it for granted.
 
mmmmmmmmmmmmm i hope you are refering to me. cause i tried reallllyyy hard this year. cept season started early december and ended march 10th. and their park was bomb, cept it was the first year i ever skied there...but i heard it was their best year in a while. And I thought that nick gaper kid was from the east coast, not midwest? ha eheath, your such a dick on NS, you must have body image issues.
 
bahaha and to double up, eheath you dumb shit, thats my point. if kids from the midwest get out west, they will be mad good, which is what you just said. cept before that, you said i havent heard of hornbeck, milbock, laker, or that gaper kid. but i had. which was my point. which you just re-emphasized. which is what i was saying all along. which is what im saying to you. touche
 
Pretty sure if you made a 200 mile radius around Columbus, Ohio you'll find a gratuitous amount of the world's best skiers. With Seth Morrison hailing from Kentucky.

In conclusion. Columbus is the epicenter of the best park skiers.
 
I'm from the midwest and yes, we do produce some good skiers and i love skiing different hills here, but the west has so much more to work with and learn off of that it's almost impossible to compete with. I can't really decide who produces the best skier because there are so many different ways to look at it. It probably goes something like this:

Rails-Midwest

Jumps-West

Style-Midwest and East

Pipe-West

Sketchy Stuff-East

Pow-West (DUH)

Being A Thug-Midwest (David Lesh)
