Went to hit a summer setup today and two things happened that I had never seen before, they weren't tricks but looked so sick. First my friend went to blind swap a rail and one of his skis popped off, he ended up riding out the rest of the rail switch 50-50 with just one ski and his boot before actually landing it. Later I ended up riding into some grass going pretty fast switch and I literally came right off of my skis but some how just ended up walking backwards out of them. Kind of two difficult scenarios to try and visualize, but regardless: what are the craziest non-trick moments you have ever seen on skis?
.FRY.I found a rental ski with no binding and a rental boot laying in the middle of the trail
Got that beat. Top of the mountain, scattered in the woods, I found a set of rental skis, poles AND boots. I actually searched for a body for a few minutes before realizing the person said to themselves "fuck this" and threw their gear in the woods and proceeded to walked down the entire mountain in their socks.
I was skiing to the park last winter and managed to hit a squirrel trying to cross the cattrack. It actually felt pretty smooth and buttery with a noticeable drag gliding over the squirrel. It didn't die instantly because it manage to scratch it's way back into the trees, but it must have been pretty fucked up.

I saw a couple of fucked up squirrels last season. smooth and buttery
One time I saw a kid and his dad on rental skis walking around on the concrete towards the lodge, with the skis still attached to them. It was bizarre and I had to do a double take because I have never seen something like it before. I took a picture, but unfortunately everything on my phone was deleted so I lost the pic.
So there's an old tree fort just on the other side of the border of the ski resort's property that we usually smoke in. I was skiing in the woods in that area with my friend and I notice someone in this neon purple jacket off in the distance and we heard someone laughing hysterically. We skied down and there was this guy swinging on one of the branches that was a solid 15 feet high. He had his skis on and everything. I don't know how the hell he got up there or how he got down but man was he having a good ass time.
Kid was complaining his feet hurt and that his boots were too small in a lesson , turns out his dad was a complete gaper and didn't know he had to take his son's shoes off before puting them in the ski boots.

probably for me was i was in fernie and it was crazy winds i was skiing across a cattrack when all the sudden i saw something cartwheeling down the side of the cat track at first i thought it was a branch or something then i looked again and figured out it was a squirrel the thing was legit being cartwheeled down the mountain
one day i was riding with my boy garrett, and he informs me of this strange tranny in the middle of the park (very third eye of him). he goes down beneath to photograph me doing a trick over said tranny. well, he snaps the photo a bit early, so my grab isnt fully complete and im flailing, but it actually turned out to be one of the most perfect shots i've ever been a part of. my pole is pointing DIRECTLY AT A FUCKING UFO! i shit u not this photo has not been retouched. There have been no further contacts at present, and search for ET life at snoqualmie pass continues

It's not really weird but it is amazing that someone could be so stupid. There was a guy last year who was re spraying the paint for the ski racers when he accidentally sprayed a streak across his pants. His words were "Damit these are brand new, might as well even it out." He proceeded to spray the rest of his black pants with the red paint until both they and his boots were solid red. He then then left without finishing.
Skiing in Japan last year, just taking it easy and all of a sudden I double eject and tomahawk down the mountain. Well I walk back up to get my skis and I realised I hit a pair of really shitty rental skis. They were just in the snow buried, honestly don't know how long they had been there for.
Someone please find the thread similar to this where someone pulls a gun, and another guy pulls out his dick, sets it on his wrist, and says "how do you like my watch".
Saw a kid nuke a rail about halfway down Parklane in breck, ski went soaring and went solo all the way to the bottom on 5chair, was pretty incredible, it hit jump 5 with some steez.
One time I was skiing stowe and they have this corrigated pipe with another on touching it to the right and my friend tried it and he slid the dirt one and on the transition his ski popped off then he slid the sitcoms on e wit none ski
Then he did the same thing next run
Last year at Abay I jumped a little roller switch, I somehow didn't see this chick behind me in the landing.. I landed, reverted real quick, and there she was right in front of me. My skis went outside both of hers, and since I was moving faster than her, I pelvis thrusted her right in the ass thus knocking her on the ground. I somehow didn't fall, and skied away? It all happened so fast I really had no idea what just happened, I tried to apologize in the lift line but she was super embarrassed and ignored me. Accidental sexual harassment FTW.
Kid on my school ski trip was doing in a pizza skiing in front of me, we are right beside the forest and a deer jumps out and tries to jump over the kid, doesn't quite clear him and they both go flying, the deer gets up and runs across the hill into the next forest, kid gets up and has a broken nose and concussion, funniest thing I've ever seen.
-emile-Kid was complaining his feet hurt and that his boots were too small in a lesson , turns out his dad was a complete gaper and didn't know he had to take his son's shoes off before puting them in the ski boots.
me and my friend were skiing off trail in the woods and we came around a corner and there was an uprooted tree with a boy and a girl standing in behind it, the boy was pulling his pants up and the girl had the most embarrassing look on her face, it was awesome.
Was at my local hill (Perfect North) and I was riding up a lift right next to the 'big scary' main hill. Some how a kid with a rental snowboard dropped his board from the top of the hill and it proceeded to go straight down the hill and slam into the lodge at the bottom. I was to far up to see the damage, but I can imagine that the board was destroyed.
One time I saw this little kids dad push him into a 40 foot jump and he started to scream at him to do a backflip. The kid landed on his somehow and the dad picked him up and skied off.
last year during early season at a-basin i saw something i truly was not expecting. was ridin up the lift, minding my own, when i look ahead to see a ski sticking out of the snow. no worries, happens all the time right? well, we get a little bit closer and i soon noticed that there was also a boot still clipped into the ski. kinda weird, but no biggie. however, when we were above the ski i realized that there was a fucking prosthetic leg planted in the boot, still attached to the ski. looked like it mustve unscrewed and fallen right off the lift! next run it was gone..
Going up the Whistler gondola with two Aussie girls who were complete strangers to me, and no joke, after the first stop they just started making out for the remaining 15 minutes of the ride. Very awkward.
saw someone go over a small jump in the park at the end of a really icy/rainy day and didn't see him ski away, so I went to check it out.
when I came over the landing he was kind of sitting there confused with little bits of a marker griffon heal piece all over the place and the ski it was attached to nowhere in sight. turns out it had gone to the end of the park, crossed an intersecting trail, and dove into the woods.
A lady in rental gear had made it halfway down the run with her directional skis on the wrong way. Still the most impressive trick I've seen to this day
Last year I was hitting a jump and threw a tail 3, little did I know there was a kid hiking up the landing trying to get his friends ski that was laying across where I was going to land. I landed about 3 feet short of it and managed to jump over it without hitting the ski
watched some little kid hit all the lips to the features in the park. the last feature was a urban down handrail. the kid skied up to it, stopped, threw his leg over and slid down it. stomped the landing
I was skiing out of the park one day, and another run meets up with. I shit you not I look over and this dude is skiing down the run with his 17inch macbook in hand and listening to music with it.

Similar situation, but I had time to pop an ollie over it
Riding up the lift and see a mouse run out of the woods. I look back and watch it run right infront of 2 guys skiing side by side, both swerve to avoid it, but they run eachother's skis over and both yardsale.
One of either two things, I was skiing just off the side of a run, in a bit of pow, anyway I see this guy up ahead, skiing switch leaning right over the tips of his skis so the tails were a good few inches off the ground. After a couple of seconds I catch up and realise he's on directional carving skis.
powabungaDone a backflip off a wind lip once and double ejected only to keep flipping and land on my feet and run it out.
did something real similar; backflipped off a jump but caught one tip coming around and went into an awkward somersault, double ejected, and somehow came running out of it
skiing at ragged mountain there was an older guy on the trail just casually skiing in some really old boots. while turning one of his boots literally exploded. one of the lifties had to come up with a plastic bag to pick up all the bits of the boot off the trail
last year skiing at bear while the real skiff guys were there. theres an old shipping container in the park they were by, they kept going through with one holding the other upside down with his skis on the ceiling of the container

The other thing was when was on a chair going up, towards the end of the day and i see a ski school all skiing in a line as they do. The kid second from the back must have caught an edge or something because suddenly i see his ski fly off with his boot (all buckles done up) still attached. He then skis another 20 metres down the run on one ski before stopping on a flat section while the rest of his ski school group skied off.
Theres this scrappy lookin guy at my mountain, probably in his late 40s. He wears a black jumpsuit with 2 NOS bottles in his backpockets, nothing on his head, brand new level 1 full tilts and really old head twin tips.
It's really odd, hes just cruising groomers on saturdays
just got off lift, and there is a restaurant on the mountain behind the lift. someone had been eating and was gunna buckle back in to their board, when they lost control of it. it starts flying down this icy groomer, and the board gets enough speed to hit a log, and fly up and get stuck in a tree.
Was only the gondola last year and this chicks ski comes off with her boot still in it (guess she had them on super loose) after she beefs, and the ski went flying down the hill, missed everyone, and went barreling into the treeline
