Alright, so im sitting here in the middle of summer dying to go skiing, so i figure if we all list things we hate about skiing maybe we will stop missing it so much and just forget about wanting to ski so bad all together.

k?

ill start.

I hate these parts of skiing.

switch 5's in the backcountry, because they always look like they should have been 7's

switch on switch out of rails

what i really, really, really hate about skiing is how trendy its becoming. each year theres some "in" trick or grab, outfit or shit, and every fuckin kid in the world HAS to have one, or just do the same tricks over and over. Truckdrivers, octograbs, etc, great trick, but people do them way to much, and i cant stand to see them anymore. Everyone wears the same fuckin outfits, wears the same boots (THERES NO WAY the entire freeskiing population ALL fits perfectly in SPKs and kryptons), its lame, theres all sorts of shit like this goin on. people need to stop trying to copy one and other and just have fun and do thier own thing, it makes it WAY more interesting. people buy into the hype way way to much in this sport. i swear, you could sell turds to these kids, as long as ___(insert new hot skier here)___'s face was on it.

how expensive resorts are getting, and how you can't buy a meal under $10 so it's always the pack lunch.

Kidding.
The WORST thing about skiing BY FAR is how bindings haven't yet been modified for SWITCH skiing/landings.
Nobody can deny the crappyness of all existing systems for switchin' it up.

I'm a mech. eng. and I'm working on it....gimme time.
All suggestions are welcome.

you have no idea how much fun I have on the hill dude, I basically live to ski. But there are aspects I don't like.

I have yet to even ski BC, I'm an east coast park rat, but I can definitely switch on switch out, but I don't, because I don't like how the trick looks, it doesn't flow.

This wasn't a thread to hate on all skiing, just to try and get our minds of constantly wanting to ski, it can actually get depressing.

oh by the way, calling out people on NS for not being able to throw tricks is about as cool as you can get, well done.

Shin Bang

Bombed Out Landings

Noobs (boarders+skiers) that carve up the ramp, knuckle the jump, and carve on the landing thus making it icy and have ruts in it which results in a painful landing

Casing/Overshooting a jump

Noobs (boarders+skiers)that sit in the landings

Long lines

Cold weather

Claimers

Hurting yourself
