Parkcrewhatesyou is really cringe

like just cuz u just learned how to straight slide the easiest rails in the park and think ur the shit doesn’t give u the right to record random 10 year olds side hitting and post them without their consent to some dumbass page that only posers find funny cuz they’re insecure that they fucking suck and will never be real park skiers

the only ppl who send shit to PCHY is the posers who stands at the top of the park/features for the entire day and you never see them do a single trick or drop in once ?

saw a snowboarder on Saturday who had a PCHY jacket on and he was just sitting at the top of a small feature for like 20 minutes just to come off early on a 50-50 then carve around the rest of the park

It’s honestly a huge circle jerk just like jerryoftheday

Agreed 100%. PCHY is lame as hell.

Agreed 100%. PCHY is lame as hell.

Dude I hate Jerry of the day. If you filmed most of the people there, you’d find content for it.

shit just puts people down and off of skiing, and makes it seem so pretentious.

Beginners are going to make beginner mistakes, it happens once usually and they learn. But to just film these people, like you said without their knowledge for some instaviews is just sad.

front 2's are rarely cool.

 

[SchizoSkier]

I feel like nobody ever actually tries front 2s. The only time I really do em is if I get to the end of a rail and just decide last second that I’m gonna just go for a little front 2. But yeah it’s like the first trick we all learned

front 2's are rarely cool.

 

[littleman34]

I feel like I always see them in videos. If it's on an urban rail then respects just for the skill cuz it's a lot harder to pull off a steep down rail. But in the park I think it's a style killer.

unless you're a pro, skiing with no poles looks stupid.

mf says this but rides twp

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

100%

While standing in line for a ski movie one day, I realized that a lot of what skiers do and wear looks stupid, regardless of how cool we think it is amongst ourselves.

 

[halfwatt]

fair

 

[butterflywatcher]

Skiing culture isn't nearly as chill as it's portrayed to be, tons of oversize egos and cultish attitudes

I wanna disagree but you right

 

[ASSholebomber22]

I don't think J skis has half bad top sheets sometimes.

 

[muffMan.]

First chair is overrated. People have been waiting since 7:30 on the cams, for what, so they can say they rode a chair first?

beats me

First chairs super overrated. Last chair is based

 

[OFF3P]

First chairs super overrated. Last chair is based

facts in the midwest its always a retired 80 year old that gets up there at 5 am in the morning with 3 layers of goretex and sits in line for 5 hours till open then leaves after about 10 runs (respect for them though). And people leave hella early I'd rather get there at 3 ski till 10 cuz the vibe is better.

there lowkey not bad

That feeling when you get back to the lift right before they close is unmatched.

worth it for a killer pow day imo. at least, getting close enough to the front of the line to where whatever ur skiing is still gonna be freshies

 

[MastePoleWhacker]

When it’s your second to last lift ride of the day and you look at the top station clock and decide to lay railroad tracks all the way down to the bottom to make the last chair

Definitely, like those timed runs in games. It feels like that when you make it

Zootspace is not influencing skiing like Tom Wallisch did lol

now that’s an uninformed take, maybe if you paid attention to skiing you’d see the sheer impact of zoot.

You troll

Every kid in the park is rocking Vishnus and homemade parachute pants zootspace has a massive influence

I’ve never seen this

 

[armchair_skier]

Judging by the kits and gear I seen lately I'd say Line's army of influencer bots is having a much bigger impact.

i guess my perspective is from the minnesota scene. i’m assuming colorado and utah are full of twp children.

 

[Farmville420]

let me go back to 2011 and tell everyone to shut the fuck up about tom wallisch

I told them wallisch was gonna blow up, after he missed Olympics I told them “he’s gonna keep filming for a bit then switch over to line skis from scott. They’re gonna give him a pro more and every kid and their mother is gonna ride it.”

 

[BearsOnKetamine]

osama pros should be palm cores not sand cores

 

[clindblomskier]

I can potentially be released tmr if my lungs got better and we’re able to release built up nitrogen on their own. If not, I have to get surgery and won’t leave until Thursday or friday. There’s a 50/50 chance the nurse told me. Staying here for another 5 days sounds like hell so fingers crossed

FLAMING hot take

 

[SchizoSkier]

hardstyle is just zootspace with a bad soundtrack

Bumping to Europop. I love tbc

Alright I reviewed it twice today and decided TBC cannot be the best ski movie soundtrack because it doesnt really have any variety. I know it's subjective but pretty much no rock or rap eliminates it from contention despite definitely having the best electro/euro-pop music

pretty true. but you have to consider it in context.. in 2005 we'd been hearing pretty much nonstop rock, rap, and-- sometimes, unfortunately-- rock rap for a while

Facts the tbc soundtrack was so weird at the time

 

[GnomesAreReal]

This has probably already been said but ’swerwing’ or whatever the fuck it’s called looks stupid, it looks like your skis are having a stroke

the music that is used on istagram ski edits is offensive to my ears

I hate people who ski without helmets. It’s even worse if I see a parent with a kid and the kid doesn’t have a helmet like did you bring them to ski just so you could kill them?
