Keep in mind this a 300' vertical hill in Ohio while I tell this story...
I was on the lift by myself next to some old dude in a yellow jacket and bored with no music I said "Nice day for skiing!" He replied (in a thick outback accent) "Ya mate its a great day to mono!" I was like what the fuck and not only just found out there was an Australian on the hill but he was a monoskier! He proceeded to explain how he has done for like 15 years and how he is the gnarliest dude out! It wasn't the fact that he was a weird dude it was just the setting that made it weird...cracks me up thinking about it
TLDR; Australian monoskier in Ohio

That's great, honestly. But from my observations.. lots of fellow Aussies play up the stereotype and the accent when they're away, possibly because people such as yourself think its cool to meet the next Crocodile Dundee, or they are just narcissists. Either way, I think it's retarded.

In Australia.. being an Australian means nothing. Being overseas, people like it (the country and the people??) ... so why wouldn't you play it up? It doesn't mean everyone does.

Skiers are a little weird in general. I'm a white guy from a moderately affluent place in rural Washington, but sometimes I want to go skiing, so I put on the absolute baggiest clothes I own, put my goggles on under my helmet for some reason, and then go tell anyone who will listen about how I'm the illest and core-est rider on the mountain. Then proceed to ski around it backwards and pretend that I don't give a fuck because I'm that rad. That's a little weird. And it describes most of you guys. And it's fucking fun.
Yet there are waaaaaayyy weirder people. I slept in my car for a season at a little mountain in Southern California called Mt. Baldy. And there was a guy in his mid 40s who got up every single day, put on a tuxedo, grabbed his 210 directional K2s from 1996 and proceeded to shred the the shitty SoCal backcountry as well as one can with 15 year old directional skis while wearing a battered tux.
I asked him about the tuxedo once, and he replied "It's my jam, man. It's my jam." There's not a whole lot you can say to that, so he left with his giant directional skis and I left with my tiny poles, and we were both satisfied that mountain people are a little strange and that the skiers worth skiing with generally embrace it.

I'm pretty weird, I just act weird to distract people from the fact that I suck at park.

i was on the lift with a friend and we got paired with an older gaper. He started telling us about how the Midwest is both great to ski but also very shitty. The he started talking bout how he likes our mountain, but one time he was here his boots were stolen from the bed of his truck. He then started telling us about what he would do to them if he found them, it involved a knife and the theifs penis. He let 15 seconds or so of complete silence go buy them yelled "Fuckers" quite loud. He was like 60 years old too. Best lift ride of the season.

Technically not skiing, but I caught a ride with him up the canyon. He was like 70 and asked me how I felt about monogamy and asked about my parents relationship, and lot's of other pretty personal questions. When he dropped me off he gave me a business card and told me if I'm ever trying to decide if I should get married, give him a call. His name was fast eddy, and he drove very slowly. It was awesome. Best hitching experience ever.
