Ever since I broke my shoulder blade (I accidentally skied into a tree switch. Yes I know how to look behind me, the tree just caught me on my blind side), people can't fathom why I was skiing backwards. They're either shocked, think I'm a dumbass, say I should've snowboarded (only the douchy snowboarders say this not the chill ones I ski with), or in one case, they laugh at me.
all in all, it's annoying.
