How come the local ski racing nerds can bomb down the only green run open but when I do it yellow jackets stop me? Explain!!

They set up a race course in the main terrain park at my mountain, it’s about halfway down and they all come through the park hitting the rail lips before they get there

My mountains race team all comes to the top of the park, (huge crowd of people standing still) and let's them go down all in a burst. So like 100 kids riding our rope at once so they can all carve around the jumps and jibs. Also they do have 3 or 4 other runs they practice on but they regularly do this

That sucks but honestly sounds like a really fun course. Hopefully you poached a lap or two.

What irritates me the most is there big bowling ball looking helmets, and there tiny ass skis

This racer dad refused to tell me what he wanted on his kids skis because Im not the shop manager despite me listing every possible combination he could be asking for AND telling him that regardless of what he believes I've already been the one tuning his son's skis every time. Ended up leaving and saying he'll come back tomorrow when my manager was in
His wife was so embarrassed, it was hilarious.
It's always so funny when they come in and are like " did such a good job last time, can I have him do it again"
9.9 times out of 10 he is never the one who has tuned it

to be fair, race kids themselves are not all that bad. from my experience as a coach, all they wanna do is hit the jumps and ride the boxes. i think most of us are just jealous that they preferential treatment.
their parents are the crazies. i got yelled at real bad by a parent because their kid had some scratches on their bases. they thought i took the kids into the park and hit boxes. on the other hand $20,000 a season is a lot of money to have your kids in a race program, but at most levels its just a glorified ski school/day care. the parents just dont want to spend time with heir kids actually teaching how them how to ski.
if you have beef with a group of racers, blame their coach. he/she is the douchebag encouraging shit behaviour. if you want to get real karen about it, you can even call or bitch to the club

All I think about now is the story of Tanner Hall as a kid leaving the course mid race to hit a jump and then veering back in to finish. Most of the time their parents make them and they want to actually do park/freeride I guess was my point.

Mom is a flight attendant dad was a business man.
Go be fair I was park rat and wanted to ski Tues and Thurs nights so I joined and my coach was an ex Canadian mogul champ and he was pro park and threw double backs all the time he kicked ass in the park and supported freestyle. He wanted to make a freestyle team at the time

I raced for 9 years but always preferred hiking the backcountry and building jumps. Not all racer kids are bad but a lot of coaches can be douche bags and a handful of stuck up parents too. Mine were pretty chill, they just wanted me to have some structure and a break 2 nights a week and all weekend, oh and a couple months in the summer lmao.
