You know when you're from the East coast and midwest when......?

[salomon097]

haha soo true

 

[ch@se]

More like Christmas at my hill.

 

[Reed.S]

i do that all the time and it takes like 5 driveways to do it

 

[sneaky_pete]

when you get asked "why are those skis curled on both ends??"

 

[beer.]

when sometimes u think "man this skiing sucks" but then you realize that there's always nightskiing after school and at night no one checks passes.

when you get to buy yueng 5 bucks for 6, which is great cause its a good beer

 

[Treestman]

when your mountain claims 30 trails but in reality it only has 7

when your mountain claims 600 vert and its only 300 vert

when a double black is not that hard

when there is a 10:1 boarder to skier ratio

when the park consists of old rusted features with no take offs

when you can hold your breath for an entire run

when packed powder is really hard pack and hardpack is really ice

when you dont have a real crew to ride with

this is my home mtn^

but northern vt is a completely different story

 

[king.tubby]

when, the first time you ski powder out west, you get confused cuz you "cant see you skis"

 

[Leeyum]

when you lay out your outfit and get so stoked on what you wanna learn for tricks the next day and it's either -30 windy or the park it closed due to rain damage and all hopes a aspirations are lost

 

[dr_phil]

when you have a pair of rock skis

and you use that pair more that your actual skis due to the lack of snow

 

[samwise]

when you consider glades to be backcountry and boulders to be cliffs

 

[ATLskier]

when you turn through some soft snow(yes, it's 60 degrees in january) and you look down that you've uncovered a bunch of garbage. Then you look around to the flat wasteland around you, and see you're on the only hill. Youre on a landfill.

Also at said landfill, you ski down a run, and even though it's covered with snow, you can clearly make out the 6th hole on the golf course right under the orange lift.

 

[Phill.]

haha all of this is soooo true........ i wish i lived out west........... i heared this years suppose to b big....... so maby 2' total when its all said and done..... doubt it tho....

 

[Reptar.]

When your dreams look something like my front yard in feb....

WEST COAST MOTHA FUCKAS!

nah but seriously. i love you east coasters. kids out here take our snowfall and parks for granted.

 

[Inbred_Redneck]

...when you live in Iowa...nuff said.

 

[Reed.S]

^ OH MY GOD! you are so gay i hate you for posting that hahahahaha but you are lucky man

 

[aliciadomSKI]

your phone starts ringing off the hook because they are calling for 3 inches!!@!?!
GET TO THE MOUNTAIN, NOW!!!!

 

[poh_money]

omg yeSsss

 

[PopsicleStand]

when you dont hear r's anymore, or when you can order a coffee regular and get frickin hot coffee with cream and sugar. they seriously could not get that in oregon.

 

[TotallyTrevor]

when your excited to ski in the rain because its as close to powder as you get...the rain makes the snow slushy so its basically a powder day

 

[hael]

ha, gotta love living less than an hour from the top of Baker.

 

[Peter.]

you wait until march to learn new tricks so you can land in slush and not get hurt because you get no powder

it takes you 5 times as long to ride the lift as it does to go down the trail

you are super stoked when your park crew sets up a 6 foot flat bar

 

[Aaaron.]

two words

TROUBLE MAKERS.

 

[=Worf=]

when a powder day is like making turns in wet cement. and 6 inches compresses to 2 by the time it stops snowing.

when they need to create the term loose granular for the condition report
