Why do small mountains hate good skiers

[Mingg]

Try to hit 88 mph an see what happens. You might need some plutonium and a flux capacitor, but some full blast gansta rap and a y rail should suffice.

Haha mayyyybe. My fastest according to ski tracks was 52. 88 is really a lot

I enjoy the looks I get when blasting by people at 40 mph switch. It's a look of utter shock and horror. Meanwhile, their kids taking up an entire 150 foot wide trail by going all the way from side to side are totally not the problem.

Whatever.

Meanwhile, some dude skis around the kicker of the biggest jump in the park and then right across the landing. Nobody yells at him... Ah, small hill life.

i ski most of my 35 or so day season out west but a solid 5 of those days are at the small mountains near dc.

clearly you don't get it

if you're not zipperlining bumps at those hills you're just another gaper who thinks straighlining a 20 degree slope makes a badass.

Do you ski out west? You haven't made that clear.

yes i do ski out west, yes i can zipper-line bumps, also who ever said anything about straightlining? as any good skier knows you are going faster on your edges, so i am just about never on the bases of my skis. the bump runs at these hills are the only things i "straightline" per say because they arent tricky enough to even need to ski in the alleys. haha i'm not some backseat jabroni just pointing and shooting theres just nothing hard enough on the mountains to need to slow down the issue isnt whether or not i turn, the issue to all these people is that they cant fathom people skiing without speed checking. i take issue with people not letting me ski tbh the ski patrol are usually pretty relaxed on me with the actual punishment because they know that i wont hit anyone, its the gaper who yell at me and get me yelled at thats annoying

Bro you're from the midwest, you can't hit those speeds on these A cup hills

Very possible at a couple hills if you wear spandex and tuck... But I'll never wear spandex.

Yes cause this is WAY less dangerous than going down fast -_- I dont get why everyone see us as very disrespectfull skiiers; but in the end it is everyone that are not respecting us and our sport ... by ski around the feature without even thinking someone might like to do the damn features or just talking to us like jerks ... patrols includent ! They are way nicer with gapers than us.

Well i say .. ski switch; they get even more nervous. They got to learn to controle themselves that it.
