What are the things you hate the most when you go sking?  This is my collection of shit that pisses me off the most.  Let us begin...

-- People that stop on the landing or knuckle of a jump, out of sight.  Are they sight-seeing?  Are they setting up for a family photo?  Then, when you land near them they have this look on their face like  "watch where your going fool."  I fucking hate that.  I just want to kick them in the throat.

-- Snowplowers and their ingnorant parents that zigzag through the park and stop in the middle of the run-ins.  For fuck sake, have some common sense, read the park rules, and if you can't keep your kid in the safe areas then go ski the "Green fluffy Bunny" trail.  Then when you ski past these people they are all up in arms with a look on their face like, "you don't belong on the hill."

-- Kids in the lift line that keep hitting the back of your skis, not to mention the kids that shuffle right over your new skis and then look up at you with a smile like it's the funniest thing ever.

-- Clowns that swing the chair.  Well done, terrific, very clever, you have figured out that when you swing the chair everyone else bounces.  Go fuck yourself.

-- arrogant, cocky fucks

-- 1/2 a weeks salary for lunch @the lodge

-- 2 weeks salary for a lift ticket with no chairs running because of high wind.

-- Younger kids that throw a fit and talk shit when a hit is markered off for a short while to groom out the landing or whatever else it needs.  Stop your fucking whining and adolescent screaching.  Yeah, we should just leave all the features as is for the whole weekend.  Let them get trenched out and turn into bullet-proof snow.

-- On the flip side of that...  Ski sesorts that neglect maintenance on their parks.  Just let their hits and features turn into gargantuan mounds of ice with nice special suprises on the landings, which are also rock hard.

When you're standing in the lift line, and every fucking time you scoot up, the person behind you rams into your tails.  Once this little kid was being so aggressive that I actually had to turn around and tell him to calm down.

That said, the mountain isn't just for us, and we've all pissed other skiers and riders off at one point or another.  It's no use freaking out on them...I made an innocent, but bad mistake in a park once when I was 12...dude freaked out on me, I was traumatized and so I stayed out of the parks for 3 years. 

If you freak out on little gapers then they'll never come to embrace our sport.  It's counterproductive.  We want to encourage them to take up freeride, not teach them to be scared of us.

i agree, provoking and intimidating new skiers is definately piss poor.  I wouldn't want someone going off on me if i unknowingly did something wrong so i wouldn't do that to anyone.  But I've corrected people in the park and parents with a good deal of discretion.  Explaining the dangers of stopping in certain areas.

Anyways, this is all in fun.  no kids are getting beat on, or throats being kicked.    ; )

My skis are my babies...the person behind me hits them, and i turn around and say, please dont hit my skis. they do it again, i tell them in a pissed off voice. again and i yell at them. Once more and i beat the shit out of their skis/board with my poles. Usually they stop at one, and then its fine.

People putting the pussy bar down without warning. If you are terrified of heights, I'm ok with the bar coming down. Just tell me before you konk me in the head!

People taking their sweet time on the boot pack. You can take a step to the side to let me pass, it won't kill you to step in some snow that hasn't got boot holes in it.

People hanging out under cliffs on a powder day, because they "aren't obstructing the trail". I'd rather you obstruct the trail where I can see you, than obstruct my landing where I can't.

Snowboarders who push the good snow to the bottom. That said, those snowboarders hate me, because I spray them with ever pass. And the best part is, they can't catch me. By the time they've gotten up off their soggy asses, I'm in the liftline.

SKIERS who push the good snow to the bottom. You know who you are, don't let me find out you're one of them, or there will be hell to pay.

Ski/snowboard instructors who take their kiddies through the park, unless their kiddies are all baddass shredsters.

Ski/snowboard instructors who take their senile customers through the park, because even if they are badass, they'll be lying on the landing while we wait for ski patrol, unless they're Klaus Obermeier status.

And last, but not least..... "gangsta" park rats who get on the lift, and keep on talking... on, and on, and on, and on, and on.... I have nothing wrong with talking on the lift, I do it too, but do you have to sound so fucking retarded? I don't need to hear "Ye, ye, tha's g, yo" every time somebody else with their vocal cords in their nose says something.




No hate.

see when kids would do this to me, i would deliberately pull my tail out from under their board, fucking take my ski and straight up stomp on their board their mom bought them, with the edge of my ski, cant stand it, most the snowboarders use the back of skiers and boarders gear as their way of stopping in the lift line slide

When you are on an in run and gapers yell "do a flip".  Most of the time you might as well blow their mind for the hell of it.

the chairlifts over the parks are by far the most entertaining.  Some nice quality entertainment going up....  and for me, usually some painful crashes skiing down.   see.... give some take some

fucking stupid people who yell at me and my friends for breaking ourselves trying to avoid their stupid little leash kids in the park.

leash kids in general

girls who just chill in the park, do nothing and just hit on guys

people who steal my shit

most of all.....parents who think their kids are the best skiers ever and can do no wrong. just from an instructors point of view i dont care if the child can 'ski with the big kids' he cant wipe his own butt and chances are youre lying. i decide if the kid can ski. if he cant i move him down. see you in 6 hours you tool!!

people in front of you that slow down to 1/2 mph to do a rail.  Ok, i know your a beginner and taking it slow during your progression, but Fuck, sack up and hit that shit with just a little speed.  Usually it's harder balancing a rail when your barely at a crawl,  Not to mention getting up onto it.

"-- Kids in the lift line that keep hitting the back of your skis, not to mention the kids that shuffle right over your new skis and then look up at you with a smile like it's the funniest thing ever."

You're gonna take those new skis and slide rails, shred forests, jump cliffs, etc.. and then a kid touching your skis with his skis is gonna cause a problem?? scratches? really?

The kid's smiling because the kid knows whats up and is enjoying a beautiful day of skiing, rather than getting pissed over some accidental bumping or scrathing.

im not why toy fellas get so pissed, ya gapers suck and they get in the way, but they have a toon of money to bring in to your little resort towns.  They are also just skiing and trying to have a good time, same goes for little kids.  At one point im sure we were like them.

the only thing that pisses me off a is when im skiing is when people arnt frendly, i say hi they dont resoopnd,

i don't mind if the bar comes down and i saw this on here so i agree. just tell me, last year some gaper dad and son decided that they were going to put the bar down didn't say anything and then slammed the bar down and crunched my nuts with the seat divider that someone decided would be a good idea to put on the bar. it was not a good time and they got a good laugh out of it, so fuck you chair designer and people who do not say anything when putting the bar down.

When you are teaching a lesson, and a kid has to pee. You tell them to "hold it". (dumb idea) They say they can, but end up peeing in their pants because you took too long to finish the lesson!

People who get mad when you and your friends do a 20 person death train on a feature and they have to wait an extra 18 seconds to hit it. I mean how could that be irritating?

Racers who get mad when you beat them down the gates switch and call the ski patrol to take your pass. That sucks.

Unexpected, mid-air headwinds.

Or tailwinds.

But seriously these things just make skiing that much more fun because you get to bitch loudly about them for a long time. Even shitty things make skiing better. Cause skiing is the shat.

The worst is when you have an really rad chute or couloir with a tight entrance to keep out the gapers, and it gets ruined on the second run of the day by some idiot who side slips it. If you can't legitimately ride the terrain, go somewhere easier, don't just zamboni it to death. I just can't imagine that side slipping a really technical chute is more fun than tearing up a wider, gentler face anyway.
