Things you do that other skiers don't do

[badatrails]

I hype people up I don't know if they are doing cool shit including but not limited to:

not wearing a real jacket, skiing bumps super fast, jumping off stuff, owning cool skis, etc.

I wish this wasn't weird, because I want the mountain to be a giant stoke city, but 90% of people seem taken aback by it.

there are still places like this? i thought everywhere had some park people or at least kids confident with jumping and doing it nonstop

 

[mountaindewgirl]

Carry my shoes around. It's a long journey sometimes with the shuttle.

 

[RAcecARman]

I do push ups and squats in the lodge to assert my dominance

 

[Aidan.Okelly]

I fasten the booster strap under the tongue on my full tilts. Swear it makes the fit 10x better.

Im going to try this and will report back

 

[cameron_taylor]

instead of dropping cigarette butts and joint roaches on the snow or in a pocket, I clip them under my boot buckles and throw them away in a bin when I stop at a lift station or the bottom of the mountain.

 

[PsychicMigration]

Ski sober

 

[EatingLinen]

skin up the boot track

 

[albinoboy]

I actively search for new angles when filming the same feature. Instead of doing a lazy follow cam.

 

[BigNol]

Be a way better filmer than rider also basically my mountains hypeman with some henrik barks

 

[G5_KiD]

Use trash cans to hold my skis instead of ski racks

 

[TheMoostafian]

Eat lots of mushrooms and cook elk and venison in the parking lot

 

[Mingg]

I don’t listen to music when I ski

 

[jprene8]

This man went and did the impossible ?

Got a girls snap on the lift Sunday and she said I should ski with her this weekend ?

 

[bertBertson]

Do the same shitty blind 2s and 3ing jumps on every feature for 10 years

Feeling so attacked rn ?

 

[BigPurpleSkiSuit]

Give genuine encouragement to beginners as I ski past them!

 

[tri_photo]

You got me good

 

[freestyler540]

Do everything well, jack of all trades but master of none. My turns make ski instructors heads turn. Then Ill rip a big 540 while I have their attention and hold the switch skiing all the way down to the bottom. Next day, Ill have a park session with another group of buddies. The. Finish the day in a mogul infested run and have fun zippering the line.A day after, Ill lead my team 12 miles from the car, deep into the backcountry, and huck a 30 footer while out there.

So there is nothing special that I do, but I do it all and more

This is something I've been trying to do more, on the slopes, and on the trails. I love seeing groms that are legit having the time of their lives getting in to sports that have brought me countless smiles and good times.

Sign my tits pls

 

[skiguy04]

Put a footbed underneath my liners in my full tilts

also like the strap under the tongue idea I’m gonna give that a try

 

[Rparr]

Film good. I swear everyone I know kinda sucks at filming whether it’s on a camera or just an iPhone. No sense of good angles or framing of shots.

this is why I only get a few follow cams per video projects

I genuinely have like several friends who can even do it, and we are rarely ever able to link up

 

[weastcoat]

Don’t wear gloves/mittens 75% of the time

 

[b0ss]

Have money and smell good

 

[asparagus]

Don’t wear gloves/mittens 75% of the time

don’t get how people do this

 

[Young_patty]

I do K-feds with my entire fist in my mouth, to assert my dominance over other park rats.

 

[weastcoat]

don’t get how people do this

Working hands I guess. You get used to it. Kinda clutch tbh, ease of earbud pause/play/skip/volume, don’t have to take anything off to take a clip, easy adjustment of your glasses or goggles, easier grabs, etc. Plus you just look like a badass doing it anyway.

 

[Pakanaka]

i make sure i tell the lifties how much fun im having after each run.

 

[jakeordie]

live in southern california

 

[Rparr]

don’t get how people do this

I’m soft I guess I only do this if it’s really warm

You work at a golf course

 

[FruitBootPro]

Fail to progress

 

[armchair_skier]

Every time I see u go onto a rail while grabbing a ski w no mitts I close my eyes

 

[Itsnotmywallet]

Drink light beer

 

[weastcoat]

You work at a golf course

And a loading job at lowes where I’m loading concrete bags, cinder blocks, wood, you name it all day.

 

[GayWolf420]

And? You know how many miles some of us dudes walk and work in a single golf season? Too many. Don't talk shit.

Anyways idk what I do differently but skiing is rad and I like how weird you all are too.

[WunhungL0]

Practice looking over my opposite shoulder riding switch

 

[Rparr]

Practice looking over my opposite shoulder riding switch

I actually hate looking over my left shoulder switch so much that I mostly spin right off of jumps switch. I spin left naturally

spinning unnat off a jump is preferable to using my other shoulder for me lmao

 

[TOAST.]

I hate looking over my right shoulder so much that I look over my left when I back up a car.

 

[asparagus]

Anyone ever considered practicing looking over your other shoulder…like no shit it’s uncomfortable

 

[Rparr]

I think my right shoulder preference started because looking over my right shoulder puts me right foot forward when I switch lip onto a rail

Plus when I started golfing everyday it fucking shreds your hands from the blister to callus cycle. All dudes I know who play a shit ton and have their whole life have the most insane leather hands it’s kinda funny.

I rotate to the right naturally but when in switch I prefer going to the left. I'm assuming everyone rotates to their opposite side in switch, right? Attempted switch blender (rotating to the right) a couples times and could not keep my left leg with me so I'd sprawl out in the air lol

 

[Rparr]

I'm assuming everyone rotates to their opposite side in switch, right?

Nah the vast majority of my friends spin the same way switch as forward and think I'm crazy for doing what you describe. Blenders are fucking terrifying, I tried one once, never again

Why does that blow my mind. I've been living in my own little lie this whole time

Working on the turf has done more damage to my body than skiing ever will. I feel that. My hands look rough

 

[Funnel]

Take no turns. It’s a very technical form of skiing.

 

[Lemuel]

I free the heel
