We are ski hipsters.

I was talking to some friends, and realized that we're ski hipsters. (We being myself and a lot of NS)

We buy stuff from obscure companies like ON3P, Saga, Moment, EC Headwear...

We do things the majority of the skiing population doesn't really get (park being one of them, or kids skiing exclusively park)

Trying to think of other comparisons.

Yes? No? Fail?
 
Most of NS thinks that everyone but themselves has shitty taste in music, even though, ironically, they are usually listening to shitty music.
 
I don't try to wear clothes that my grandma used to ski in... I can ride my skis down a hill without constantly flailing my legs uncomfortably. I don't go to coffee shops, and if I do I got to starbucks. I'd rather buy something at walmart than a local company if it will save me a buck. I am not a hipster.
 
Implying:

Coffee shops = Hipsterish?

Starbucks = Hipster

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING GIVE ME SOME
 
There pretty much isn't anything as shitty music. Just different tastes. NS definitely has their preferences though...
 
Newschoolers are not as cool as they think they are. I guess that's one thing they have in common with hipsters.
 
Trust me, I have 3 bags of dd coffee in my cabinet. Fucking Utah doesn't have any dunkins though so that's not an option.

And to the other guy, coffee shops are very hipsterish and starbucks is the least hipsterish because it's a corporation... duh.
 
hipsters are completely ironic. that is what they feed off of. i would say that pretending to be gangster and "afterbang" is the epitome of ironic behavior
 
no, were skiers. we buy clothing and gear from ski companies. maybe if we all wore our grandmas's sweaters and hiked up a pant leg we would be ski hipsters
 
I undesrtand what you're saying and YES. I do agree. But why conform to "reality" reality isn't real so lets stick to this... SAGA, planks and life.
 
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 
Lol, it's so true. While there are differences on the surface, like what we wear, it's the attitude. Keeping it underground? That's like a hipster's job. Trying so hard not being mainstream, but you still look like every other park rat in Saga or First Drop. Criticizing everyone's taste in music. "Oh they suck, they're mainstream" You listen to "underground" hip hop, and hipsters listen to indie rock. You guys scoff at people who wear normal clothing and ski "mainstream" trails (blue squares).

Oh, and most of all, you guys deny it fervently. A sure sign of being a hipster.
 
I understand what you are getting at but I always think about it like the main stream skiers are bros like bobby brown, simon dumont, and the hipsters are guys like Ian Wade, Max Hill ( because they are hipsters).
 
Same thought process, different application.Underground music, we hate anyone that isn't exactly like us. Hipsters love skinny things, we adore baggy clothes, etc.
 
except he's just a model for all of his sponsors clothing that's as hip as possible but still huge brand name.

 
could not have said it better my friend. you know whats good. You understand how this planet and the human mind function.
 
everything is considered "hipster" these days. im not gunna lie i think some things are definitely hipster, but not skiing.
 
sorry for the dub post. i didn't mean to write skiing. i meant to say that NS or whoever you were saying were hipsters, are not.
 
i avoid doing anything that NS thinks is cool. but rightnow im painting my nails black and gold cuz thats what my hero tom wallisch would do.
 
Ummmmm I dont know about that. One of their riders is David Steele, and that kid is the biggest hipster I have ever met. Always slack-lining and talking about saving the earth and reading books. He even has a tattoo of a PBR logo on his back I mean c'mon super hipster. I mean his name on Facebook is David Ironic Steele.

Claim hipsterdom if you want, but a true hipster skier would have fixed binding skis (no DIN release sorry kids, rules is rules). And wear one pieces and drink PBR constantly. Without that you just aren't hardcore enough to be a hipster skier.
 
I can kinda see your point.

I like skiing moguls and constantly bitch about how fat skis, high speed quads and shaped skis are ruining skiing. (No moguls form when intermediates can "ski" the good runs and skiers almost do more damage to the pow as snowboarders now.)
