Most annoying term in skiing

Idk about this one, in bouldering it quite literally is a puzzle that needs figured out when you get above beginner routes, so I could see "problem" in that context

I'd still like to watch you break their elbows tho

"Dawn patrol" kills me inside every time

the terms that make touring sound like some grand adventure rather than just having the time and money to go walk around to ski one run. Some runs are impressive, but when people say dawn patrol/expedition/type 2 fun for a walk in the woods, I'm like ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....I'm glad I don't tour much
 
"Skiing is so easy bro. Wish I snowboarded." Or when people act like it's a flex to not ski as much anymore: "I barely ski anymore. I've been spending my time doing other things like surfing."
 
People saying they suck at skiing when they don’t land a crazy trick perfectly. Really bothers me
 
”Quiver” you’re not Hawkeye you’re just fiscally irresponsible .

I prefer calling my ski collection my “ bundle of sticks “ or abbreviating that term to its archaic English slang ykyk

I cringe every time I hear the classic South Park reference “if you French Fry when you’re supposed to pizza…”. Like shut up, it’s only funny when I say it.

Everyone I ever taught how to ski just kept thinking of this line and it made it more difficult than it had to be

Yup this is the one. Especially when it’s on all the ikon pass shit. Me and the homie got tired enough hearing it that we started banging our chests and making monkey noises instead
 
We just started using it ironically

people saying "pretzel 270 off" when there is no other spinning involved and it's just a front 2

Wouldnt the inital spin be the 90°? I always thought these two things were the same thing just different names. Is there a difference between back 270 out and blind 270 out?
 
y'all are completely insane. most of this shit should not bother you

Not a term but honestly the IG posts of people back slapping into powder and calling it "stomped". Sending is easy, landing is hard.

both spins have to be 180 or more for it to be considered a prezel. Sliding a rail and landing forward is not a pretzel.

back and blind 270 are the same.
 
Used to work at a ski shop that sold only skis NOT snowboards and whenever I would talk gear with someone I probably got this question at least 20 times a day...

"so wait....... are you a snowboarder?"

Also when people say "I'm headed up to the mountains to go ski all of the powder"
 
I’ve been having this debate with a homey for 15 years. All he can do is front 2 so he always calls it a pretzel. I’m like dog…

Woodward is owned by POWDR corp though.

Park City/Canyons is owned by Vail. Probably a worse company, but my current beef is with POWDR

"Woodies" is specifically "woodward park city", which is its own resort independent of park city

Sliding a rail and landing forward is a 9p9.
 
“____ sucks don’t come/move here”

Was fun at some point but now is so played out, and all these utah transplants who moved here 3 years ago have them on their Toyota trucks and Subarus
 
For years there have been ‘Truckee: Love’ stickers all over the place. Recently a buddy gave me one that says ‘Truckee: Leave’ which is pretty clever

"pretz 90" or "pretz to forward" almost makes me think less of you as a human being.

Anything relating to the skiing vs snowboarding argument makes me cringe unbelievably hard.

Calling someone a "Jerry".

"Oh so you're like a park rat" stfu those words used together should be punishable by death
