lets here your most embarrassing skiing experience! mine is probably getting my tip caught while getting on the lift and flipping off of it or trying to do a drop under the chair at baker and double ejecting on landing
 
First year in the park, without twintips. I felt like a dumbass, also couldn't do shit except 50/50 a box and crappy 180's.
 
Hitting a snow fence while skiiing backwards, double ejecting and doing a backflip to my knees over the fence, then having to climb back over to get my skis.
 
I was just cruising and paying very little attention to the trail ahead of me when I accidentally ran right into/ over a group of snowboarders sitting on the trail. Normally, this would probably be at least somewhat their fault for sitting in the middle of the trail but at my mountain, that's what everybody does and you always have to be weary (my park is probably about 90% snowboarders... not that it's a bad thing but they tend to sit down more than skiers). I felt pretty bad haha
 
go to do 3 on a side kicker in front of like half my family which i dont ski with ever.

but i went as big as possible to be cool. well i double eject mid air. front of boots dig into snow. face plant bloody nose. fml. all my uncles and aunts were like you shouldnt do that anymore your not good enough for that yet. while im explaining that i can flip and 540 on a big booter. so humiliated

oh yea and it was step family so it was worse.
 
Dropping my pole off the chair and turning to the guy next to me like "I swear I'm not mentally retarded".

Eating shit doing simple things like 180s.

Eating shit under any chairlift, anywhere at any time.
 
waved to some girls on the chair while mobbing and proceeded to do a nollie over a slushy knoll, only thing was my tip caught somehow. ended up faceplanting pretty good
 
took a little side booter on the edge of the trail WAAY to deep and ended up launching into the woods across from the trail. not fun to climb out and find both of my skis. also just eating it on small easy tricks in front of gapers
 
9:30 pm on a thursday nighit and nobody is at the mountain so i decided to take a run going switch the whole time down a trail outside of the park. about 3/4 done where its nearly flat so im not paying too much attention and i look up the hill for a sec. i go over the backside of a hill where two snowboarders were sitting. i couldnt see them before, but when i turned arround they were about 5 feet away from me going full speed switch and i was going right through the middle of them. their boards were touching so it was like a barrier. had to jump over them and i barely made it, (skis skidded skidded over the tops of their boards) could tell it pissed them off because they were screaming at me. at least i didnt fuck up and hit their boards and fall over or it would have been much worse lol
 
edit: just remembered catching my edge on the end of a rail and doing a frontflip out but i landed on the back of my neck. got some cheers form the chairlift haha
 
Ski patrol pulled me over but my ski brake somehow got into a hole in the bottom of my pants, so my feet were basically stuck together. I hockey stopped in front of them and ate complete shit.
 
one of the first time i landed a 270 , landed on ice couldnt stop wrecked some kid who was behind the rail.

or two years ago was to drunk and frogot to turn on the end of a rainbow rail. went in edge 1st dented the hell out of a really icey landing
 
Spring skiing. Tried to just do a simple nollie over a roller but I guess I was too hardcore to just do a little nollie. My tips catch the snow, double eject, and superman frontflip to flat. Good times.
 
this one time when i was gaper i was just getting on the lift and was kicking my skis back and forth like a pro, and this was late season so there was a pile of snow infront of where u get on so the lift attendants can put it where they need it. so i was kicking and i kicked my tips into the snow and flipped off into mud infront of my whole school
 
First chairlift up on the first day of the season, I was fixing my helmet strap and had both my gloves off and my poles in my lap. Dropped 1 glove and I tried to catch it, and ended up dropping the other glove and my poles. Felt really stupid after that.
 
getting on the chairlift that fat lady was right beside me and was taking all the place soo moved on the side and thought i was good enough to sit ended up nutting myself on the side of the chairlift and to make it even more embarrassing i had my instructor coat on
 
Thought I was boss my first day ever of skiing and caught my tips getting off the lift. I ended up taking everyone sitting with me out and they had to stop the lift so we wouldnt get destroyed by the oncoming chairs. Played it off like it aint no thang
 
i was pretty baked and i yelled at a group of snowboarders that their sport was faggy, and that skiing was way cooler. then i snaked everyone and caught an egde while popping, and landed right on my shoulder.... it was no bueno
 
Well since the east coast had like no snow last year except for a couple of days. A friend and I went skiing the day after one of the only snow falls of the year and saw a area that was under the lift (at the very beginning as well) marked off by ropes with no tracks on it! My friend is much smaller than me so he sat on his skis and laid back to avoid the ropes. I figured I could do the same and went for it... I got hanged by this fucking rope with a huge red line under my neck choking with people on the chair lift looking at my going "wtf haha". twas embarrassing especially having to tell my mom why it looked like I tried to hang my self
 
i was standing too far away from the chair when i was getting on, i got checked by it. the liftie couldn't stop laughing
 
When i switched to skiing from snowboarding last season, my first run i decided 'hey how hard can it be' so i went to a blue. I couldn't fucking turn for shit and then i flew past ski patrol who yelled at me then i ate shit. Ski patrol then proceeded to come down to me and give me a 5 min rant about how i should take lessons because i will hurt someone. I agreed and then tried to ski down and literally 5 feet later i ate shit and double ejected again... right infront of patrol.
 
Haha I was on the lift and we have ropes around our "park" ( a couple boxes and rails last season" and I see this girl straight frenchfrying it down the mountain with her dad behind here yelling STOP STOP, anyways sue was at a perfect night for a close line from the ropes. She hit them going full speed, double ejected back flipped, and afterbanged
 
Got way too baked and when it was our turn to get on the lift we just stood there and watched it go by without getting on. And when the lifty called us out on it we all cracked up uncontrollably..
 
This is a long story, but a pretty damn embarrassing one.

Two seasons ago I was skiing on my home mountain in Vancouver. We had a sweet jump line in the park. 3 jumps, 30', 40' and 45'. I was just straight airing the jumps to get the feel of them, and then started to spin the first jump. Once I was feeling it on the first jump, I thought I would step it up and take my spins to the next, bigger, jump. The speed for these jumps was a tad on the slow side that night, but I still wanted to spin the second jump.

So I drop in, clear the first jump and come into the second jump, preparing my spin (yea I like to wind up, what ever). As I left the jump I started my spin a bit early and sluffed off some of my speed as a result.

Because the speed was already slow, and my spin killed a little bit of it, I ended up casing pretty hard, back twisted, and smashed my ass on my heel piece.

I slid down the landing and then lay at the bottom of it in pain, holding my ass and lower back. It felt like my ass and lower back had been completely crushed. Despite the immense pain, I managed to stand back up and started to make my way down to the lift line so I could go back up the lift and go home.

About half way back to the lift, I stopped. I could feel something dripping from my ass and down my left leg. I stopped, and yelled at my buddy what any one in my position would yell. "Yo, I think my ass is bleeding!"

Being the sympathetic guy my friend was, he proceeded to laugh at me and yell to everyone he could (lifties, mountain safety, ski patrol, tourists) , "My buddy just popped his butt cherry on a jump!"

That's pretty embarrassing, but it gets worse.

In the lift line up, the situation took a turn for the worst. I could feel this liquid dripping down both legs and into my left boot. It was fucking gross, I was in extreme pain, and I wanted to go home.

After holding my ass all the way up the lift, I skied to the Chalet so I could go to the wash room and see what this liquid (that I presumed was blood) actually was.

So I went into the bathroom stall, pulled off my snow pants,only to find out that I had COMPLETELY shit my self. And when I say completely shit my self, I mean it. No more details are necessary. (I actually ditched my boxers in the toilet, sorry janitorial staff...)

I was in pain for two weeks after this incident, both physically and mentally. So I went to the doctor to get fixed up, told him the story about how I shat my self skiing, and he just laughed his ass off at me.

Apparently there is a nerve in your lower back that if compressed under extreme pressure, can release ALL the muscles that control your bowels. I compressed that nerve, and shat my self to no end, for about an hour.

This story serves me as reminder to always carry just a little bit more speed when spinning off a jump.

SPARK NOTES: Cased a jump, thought my ass was bleeding, turns out I had just shit my self like you've never seen anyone shit them self before.
 
caught the tips of my skis right when i got on the lift.. ended up double ejecting on the lift in front of everyone, scared the shit out of the people on the lift with me, and then i had to wait at the top of the lift for whoever was nice enough to grab my skis and bring them up for me… if the person who did that happens to read this.. thanks +K
 
crashing under the lift, crashing off something tiny, and crashing in uniform (instructor) are all pretty embarrassing
 
Crazy pillow run below a chairlift, a fresh load of pow had fallen the night before and me and some friends make first tracks.

I was hauling ass, bouncing over the pillows like a madmen. Everyone in the lift looking at us.

Then I decided to go straight over this massive pillow but instead of clearing that bad boy as smooth as Sean Connery slips a hand in a girls pantie,s I double ejected due to a massive curved root normally not covered and hidden by the snow. I made a fantastic double frontflip before landing upside down in the pow.

My ego was broken and we spent the better part of the morning trying to find my skis.
 
Thought of another one. Me and my buddies were at a tubing park at like 3 in the morning and I put on my jjs and head lanp and bombed it. The slope was icy as shit and I ended up not being able to stop and as a slow down thing at the end for all the tubers there is a curve which I tried to follow but I ended up going straight through it and taking out 2 safety nets before falling down a pretty massive hill and losing all my gear
 
Dont want to quote whole thing, what an amazing story.

Friends are ripping down the hill at silver star, I decide to go as fast as them (with my camera bag on) straight lining down this steep hill my friend says its cool so we keep going, my goggles start to fog but I see the lodge so I keep going, I ended up going mach 10 over a cat track launching about 15-20 feet right to my back, I thought I was paralyzed. Ended up breaking a piece of my camera, all good though.

besides that, not much. Occasionally this summer my glidecam would get caught on the tbar lift line ropes and I wouldn't notice until I was on the ground, to make it more embarrassing it only happened at the end of the day when the line up was massive, to top things off it was in the Priority line (I had a pass) so people were already pissed.
 
Last year I was in the ski & snowboard club at my school and on the first trip of the year we teach people how to ski. The night before I was getting my shit ready and noticed my skis weren't there so I stayed up all night looking for them. Turns out they got stolen from my car so I grabbed a pair of old duct taped boones with 4 delams. They hadn't been waxed in forever so I could walk up the hill without sliding back, it felt like I had skins on. I was supposed to be teaching a bunch of noobs how to ski and I felt like I was going to eat shit every turn. It was embarrassing and some douche took my beloved skis.
 
Bombing one of the longer runs at my home mountain switch, notice there are loads of people standing around the top of a roller near a cafe hut but spot a small gap. Decide to spot over my other shoulder and as i do i notice a lady slowly closing up my gap. i end up having to nollie over the tips of her skis and instead of landing my tails catch and flip me round. Felt like i'd done great damage to park skies reputation on my hill that day!
 
Fell off a ski lift as I was getting off, as I tried to get up again the next one smacked me in the back of the head. Fucking useless french lifties...
 
Haha holy shit, i did the same thing, just not switch.

>double ejects

>frontflips

>was a good time

> ????????

> profit

But in this case, it was skiing backcountry in the forrest, and there was so much snow, that it was only the very tip of the fence that peeked out from the snow and whooped my ass
 
This year I was charging into a pretty big jump, planing to do a 720. Had a few friends watching and filming. It was during the spring and it was snowing. The snow was really sticky and just before the jump my skis literly got stuck. I was going pretty fast and stoped in 3 meters (10 ft). Doubleejected my skis and felt like an idiot
