Wierd Skiing Superstitions

If my song ends while i'm dropping into a hit I'm in deep shit.

If i take a really hard fall, I immediately hate the song that's playing with every fiber of my being, and won't play that song again for a few days. Usually by the end of ski day i've deleted 5 or 6 songs from the playlist... haha

 
This! Havent called last run since a last run that went bad a few years ago.

I also always re-grip my poles on the in run to a jump (although not in a jump line).

 
thats so weird, im literally the exact opposite, usually take lunch at like 11 because of this.

-other than that, never get a haircut during the season

-after i take my boot off, i'll do up the bottom buckle to the 2nd notch

-i always bring my gopro with me but i never use it, once i forgot it and didnt have a good day, so i just bring it now
 
Nothing ever goes uneven from right to left with me.

Before I put the lift up I tap it five times against the other metal it rests on and then once its up I tap it five times against the other metal. No one else can do it for me no idea why. Fear of injuries I guess
 
not only skiing, but whenever I see an ambulance, I have to knock on wood, or else I'm fucked.
 
youre not the only one. also if i eat mcdonalds for brekfeast i suck. i like to ski almost hungry but not so hungry i have low blood sugar
 
If you talk through silent rock on the way to Hood, shit will hit the fan. don't ever disrespect the rock.
 
Have to get 3 consecutive Chairs singing 'Don't stop believing' sometime during the opening month, or else the rest of the year is shit.
 
I have to know which ski is my left and right (same top sheet for both) and i know which poles are the left and right so i know what hand to hold em in.
 
this.

and somewhat related??? i wear my pajamas inside out the night before there is a suspected snow day. works like 95% of the time
 
I have to start a new song before I start my run, I have a left and right ski, and I always sing/rap along to the song I'm listening too.
 
When i was competing, I had a full of superstitions:

1. Always take a deep breath before going

2. I had 2 t shirts that would make me lose...so I never wore them on snow

3. Never say: check this out

4. Ski socks are better than long socks

5. Tapping poles together psychs me up before a run
 
Don't ever ever change the playlist order. Sometimes I need another song because the one playing sucks, but I can't change it, or I'm gonna eat shit.

Also the more I wait to drop in, the higher is the fail. This is why people before me and waiting forever before going piss me off so much.
 
Idk, I think if you do it will wear down your edges more evenly. Even if its better for my skis I'm terrible when their on the wrong feet.
 
I always sarcastically say check my steeze before trying something new, around 60% of the time it ends up way better than i think it will
 
Skis on the same foot everytime. Have to take the same exit getting off the highway and when I leave the mountain.
 
i have to be wearing purple or else i will have a terrible day

the two times that i didnt i got a concussion and messed up my knee.. so its proven
 
I have one pair of socks that are left and right, and if i don't wear them that way I will get messed up. Also my skis graphics go together and look stupid if they are reversed.
 
i never bought the whole silent rock thing. same with silent rock driving up big cottonwood. at hood i found its mostly the locals that did that but either way its bullshit
