Black Crows are for skiers who think they're way better than they actually are

Black crows need to quit putting those dry ass jokes on the topsheets and sidewalls. I respect the attempt to do something unique tho but it’s just not that funny

Black Crows are for skiers who think they're way better than they actually are

any person that I have ever met, that owned black crows, tried to talk down to me cause I didnt have black crows.

Ya know, im not really a fan of busting stoners in the woods at ski resorts. Not a fan.

Putting words to something I’ve thought for years. I think I resonate with dynastar more than I do Black Crows.

I bought some used black crows but got an emails saying I couldn’t use them cause I wasn't French.

Fr an overrated ski though, atrises were so boring to me.

Try the Mirus Cor, that ski is hella fun for ripping around the mountain on days when a bigger ski isn't necessary.

Rented them for a day and went straight home to buy a pair. Never been excited by their skis previously.

*cough* My dad. What about Lucas Wachs. It's difficult to be better than that.

Is Black Crows redundant? Are there any crows that aren't black? I'll hang up and listen.

 

[Session]

I'ver never seen a pair of Black Crows without Shifts on them.

That north western crow is dope

 

[profa_212]

The Freebirds they make arent bad as a touring ski. Id take a pair if I found them for cheap and wouldnt think twice.

Licensed beer branding will always be the most cringe to me.

I'm so orginal that i mounted mine with duke pts

 

[Non_State_Actor]

I had a pair of Noctas that were great. Atris I did not get along with at all. My wife has a pair of Ova Birdie for a front side oriented all-mountain ski and has enjoyed them very much.

I'd like to get on the Mirus Cor and the Anima sometime.

Don’t do it then

Putting stickers on your gear is lame. It almost never looks good.

This is especially true for brand stickers. If you like a brand, buy their product. Don't plaster your skis/helmet with their logo

 

[hamsauce]

An actual unpopular opinion. My rule- helmet gets NS sticker, an area code of my state, maybe a level 1 sticker, and a sticker from a Hawaiian clothing brand i like. All in white. Keep it clean, gives people on lifts something to talk about.

Resort stickers go neatly on the small back left window of my car

brand stickers go messily on water bottle, roofbox, and cooler

[Farmville420]

Unrelated to skiing and im guilty of this too but I hate when people cuss like an 8th grader. Ik some people who genuinely can't finish a sentence without saying "fuck" and it just sounds like I'm talking to a middle schooler sometimes

I don't mind stickers on most things, but for some reason I really hate stickers on skis

Sure is, some of the kindest, most chill, down to earth people ever as well. Took me surfing all over, had home cooked meals, and were a blast to hang out with. Didnt miss a single sunday at their church my entire time there.

I was 2 mins from the McDonald’s just outside the neighborhoods. Went back recently to visit.

Most of the trick selection rather than b-roll is what makes Many Fantasies Later a bore.

That wanker clip gets 4000 likes???

Clips with selfie stick are all bad. One cannot ski properly while trying to film one's self.

 

[tijerdog]

New ski clothing trends are wack.

Why is everyone wearing some ugly parachute pants with a ultra short trash bag puffer jacket?

I mean everyone has their own taste but even my dad has more steeze on the hill than that.

I’ma stick to my 4xl jiberish and saga jackets from 10 years ago cuz style has only gone down hill since then.

 

[midwestcoast]

If I can't tomahawk in pow without getting snow all in my shit, I'm not wearing it. End of story. The recent trends are dumb af.

 

[ReturnToMonkey]

Ima stick to my 4xl jiberish and saga jackets from 10 years ago cuz style has only gone down hill since then.

My unpopular opinion I guess is that 4xl stuff from a decade ago also looks bad

Signs you're getting old: you don't like what the young peoples are wearing, saying things like "...from 10 years ago cuz style has only gone down hill since..."

You’re probably right too, I’m stuck in the golden era but that’s just me.

That’s 100% true I agree, that’s just how she goes lol.

Being 29 years old sometimes I feel like a grampa in the park.

To be fair, I like seeing new styles developing over the years, even tho I don’t really associate with it, I can appreciate the creativity. That’s the beauty of skiing, everyone can ski how they want.

I think we can just agree that in general, skiers are weird and dress funny. We are all crazy in our own way.

Actually you know what looks really good? Burton AK jackets and bibs. If I had the money I’d buy a set right now, those look clean af.

Yeah my snowboarder roommate has some AK pants and is looking to get new ones but I think they look great, no reason to switch
