Stupidest questions you've been asked on the hill.

How big was that jump you sevened? If you have the air time to complete a 7, and you overheard someone commenting on it being a seven mid-way, you need to have hella air time man. I call bs. The money booter at x games is 85 feet and the air time on it is roughly 2.75 seconds. Theres no way that conversation couldve been had in that timd. Try again
 
Well aren't you a nice considerate person. So you would rather potentially injure someone who may not be too confident on there skis then just politely say which way your planning on getting off. It really is people like you that give ns skiers a bad name.
 
Why don't these boots fit? (Because you still have your shoes on.)

Will my pants get wet?(first time snowboarder)

Do my kids need gloves or goggles?(yes, it is snowing)

Is food expensive at the resort?

....Rental shop nightmares....
 
as a small hill east coaster, the amount of question i get asked about my 182 jmos.... good lord i don't think some of these people know that it's possible for skis to have 96 mm in the waist.
 
Agreed, I actually ask which way people are going off the lift all the time if I am on the wrong side for where I want to go.
 
If there is even the possibility a person could be injured simply by getting off the lift, than they clearly aren't competent enough of a skier to be riding the lift to begin with. ive never asked someone which way they're turning because it doesn't matter. I'm going the way i want regardless of which direction theyd like to go.
 
Idk what to tell you man it happened on a roughly 60 footer stepdown and I heard them say it. This wasnt a slow conversation either, they just kind of blurted it out and i heard, but trying to disprove me is pointless and I dont see the point to it. Im just trying to contribute to this thread man
 
You don't need to change which way you're getting off, you're supposed to either slow down or get off the lift early so you can cross in-front/behind them in a considerate manner. this results in less collisions that can stop the lift and piss everyone off, or help to avoid having a gapper's pole fly into your ass. Stay safe now, y'all.
 
They would not be injuring them self it would be you surprising them or simply skiing into them when they don't expect it. All you need to do is say which way your going it only takes a second and don't worry it dosnt make you any less of a thug.
 
sounds like you guys don't realize not everybody knows a lot about skiing.

Worst question I was ever asked was "can you take our picture!????"
 
"how are you supposed to get the shoe into the ski boot?" as somebody trys to stick their shoe'd foot into the ski boot

(this is what happens when russians try to go skiing)
 
Well i was just chillen on the hill with will buses sister and some kid comes up and says dude does your pubic hair ever get tangled in a knot And prevent u from throwing hella dope indy grabs
 
Dude i only watch the x-games with my grammy. (Yeah I call her grammy deal with it.) she gets mad when people semd a sick run and get a shit ass score. And she gets all emotional wheb someone crashes. Funniest shit ever
 
I was mobbin switch down a run to warm up and this old lady yells at me as I pass by "You can't ski backwards! It's illegal!!" I calmly flipped her off.

this is something that I saw. (and laughed for half an hour) me and my friend were hitting a forest trail. we stopped at a big drop. some little tourist kid came wizzing down the trail and got destroyed by a tree right next to my friend. we asked him if he was alright, he didn't say anything back and so we left...
 
"Wow, you must really love this place to wear that get up! Where can I get a jacket like that?" I was a ski instructor, in uniform.
 
not really a question but my dad is convinced rockered skis are dangerous because it's apparently easier to cross your tips and eat shit

I was on the lift with my mom for some in house training (we both work at the mountain) and the asshat who sat next to her tried to turn right in front of her getting off the lift. He got his boot caught on hers and pushed her over which made her completely tear her acl along with everything else in her knee when he continued to try to yank his boot off hers. Yes dickholes like you do cause injury to people who are very good at skiing.
 
And the stupidest thing I've been asked was why we are trying to confuse paying customers with colors and shapes on signs instead of saying how easy or hard a trail is. She claimed to have skied all over the world and that no one else uses such stupid signs. This was while I was helping in rentals one morning and then she chewed me out for rolling my eyes and subsequently sassing her.
 
Not on the mountain, but someone at my school literally asked me if i was going to do any helicopters this year at our mountain. After all this time i thought it was just people making those stories up just to say something interesting on gaper forums

thats actually kinda messed up......................
 
Plot twist: I was the gaper. When I first started skiing I remember going up the lift with this chubby little old man. I asked him where he had been going and he started naming runs. He asked me and I said here and there a couple of blacks(gaper I know) he responded, oh yeah I have trouble finding enough double blacks. I wish I could've seen my face because I thought this man was nuts. He chuckled and skied off.

every teacher at school when i wear a level 1 crew: "when you gunna get to level 2???"

when i wear my level 1 hoodie my family always says to me "haha look hes only on level 1" and when i reply its skiing related they tell me "does it mean youre so bad youre a level 1 skier?" haha
 
"Where do I get the seeds for those pretty red trees?" THEY DEAD

"When does the moose come?"

I also had a Jersey dad bitch me out while fitting his kid for boots. I was confused as to why I was putting size 9 boots on a 6 year old, turns out the little dude was wearing 5 pairs of socks. No, it will not keep him warmer, no wonder his feet hurt.

I had a Smokey the Bear t shirt on in the lodge which automatically means I work for the forest service I guess. If I hear "what are you going to do about the beetles/ piles" again I'm going to jump off a lift.

Once I was sitting on a bench next to the rental room (I was waiting for a friend to get some skis and boots) and this guy comes in with his son who kept complaining about his feet hurting. The dad seemed pretty annoyed and told his son to stop whining and continued to help the kid take his ski boots off. The kid had his shoes on while wearing the ski boots but the dad said, "See? There's nothing wrong!". A woman who worked at the rental shop informed the dad that he's supposed to take his shoes off before putting ski boots on. The dad was very embarrassed.

I know that this thread is about stupid questions that were asked, but your comment reminded me of that day.

Long time ago, like when I was 14, I was in sun valley for a mogul contest and was doing a halfpipe contest for fun basically and some gapers on the lift asked me about it and when I said i was doing a half pipe contest they said "Oh you snowboard too??" and I was like "uh no skiers go in the half pipe too" and they were like "what NO WAY i had no idea" it was like 2005 but still...
