Park Etiquette

[oldmanski]

We have all seen it, had it done to us or even done it ourselves. Snaked a run or made some one take a digger due to our lack of awareness. Parks all have their so called rules but then there is the common sense rules. Tell me what you think are some basic rules in the park(or ski run) that are important to you.

I was able to go ski this past weekend and take my 3 yr old. Trying to teach him the basics of self awareness before we make our decent inside the Snow Factor in Glasgow, Scotland.

1. If you see someone who looks like me watch out, I am very drunk and probably on the drugs.

I would say staying on stuff of your ability level. Not climbing up take offs or standing on landings. If you're small or the jumps big you will get smoked standing on the knuckle. Don't side jump but i think 3yo s are gonna sidejump.

Idk just be aware. I imagine teaching a kid that little is tough. Maybe just explain some things before and as you go through the park. They'll absorb what they absorb i guess.

Be absolutely 100% sure that the landing is clear, that's something I learnt the hard way.

Sounds unrelated but when you've got your little one with you talk with lots of other people in the park (keeping your eyes on your child obv).

Even if your kid just spends the whole time slamming they're going to be excited about hanging out with bigger kids and want to go back again. And they'll pick up on etiquette faster when a bunch of people in the park know they're there to learn and keep an eye out for them and not some kid who's going to sit on jibs because an inattentive parent just rolled into the park.

When you're hanging out scoping out a feature, please, look over your shoulder and and make sure there is not someone actually skiing the line from the top and trying to link up the whole park. this actually applies to anywhere on the mountain.

Where we're going we won't need rules.

Get tf out of the landing if you crash. If you're unable to move or think your spine is fucked then start screaming.

second this, pretty much every issue can be avoided by looking uphill before you go into a feature

I think park etiquette kinda boils down to call your drop, don't side hit rail kickers, don't stop in blind areas, and keep your head on a swivel. Actually that's kinda just good advice for life in general. Any kid who is in the park at 3 is set up for success.

if ur going across the hill anywhere in the park look uphill lol

I personally have an unspoken rule, which is to gas people up while you’re riding.

At the end of the day it pushes each other to progress and draws people back to the park in the long term.

Don’t assume people are going to make the feature just because you’ve seen them make it before.

Happened to me this season, hit this flat to down rail, came off and slammed my side then a snowboarder right behind me hit me with her snowboard as I was in the landing getting up.

This pisses me off at my home hill, people will ride your ass at all times and when I’m trying stuff I fall, and I fall a lot when I do.

had the same person run into me 3 runs in a row even when I told them to give me

space
