Why do small mountains hate good skiers

TOAST.Let me guess you're always on a green or blue run when you get yelled at.

THEDIRTYBUBBLEIrrelevant. As long as you're:

Skiing in control
Not posing a threat to other people
Not skiing too fast for conditions (Crowds of gapers, fog, etc)
Not in a slow zone

Then you should not be yelled at for skiing fast.

But it should be added that these are often trademarks of green/blue slopes.

robbinJAHoodI feel u I ski at whitetail lol

TOAST.Id say irrelevant on blue slopes, but not green especially if its crowded.

Learning to ski when people are ripping by you can be sketchy.

MinggI'm tired of getting yelled at for going like 35-40mph .

saskskierAs long as you're in control, everyone is pretty chill and it's fun talking with farmers about big skis and skiing backwards.

Prairie hills are small, but the people are awesome.

skiermanBUUUUUULLLLLLSSSHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIT

MinggThat's not even fast though...

razors-chazI dont understand the US mentality to policing how you ski. In europe there is no such thing as yellow jackets and ski partol have far better things to be doing than telling people to slow down. I dont know if its the racing history of europe that people going fast is just accepted but i've never been told by anybody or seen anybody being told to slow down. sure we have slow signs but theyre usually on the entrances to lifts.

Skier_75Go faster

FarginBastageWhat sucks is when these mountins groom the shit out of every square foot of white that they see. Powder a day after a storm? Nope. Any moguls, even a single line off the side of some bum fuck trail in the spring? Nope. It's sad when you need to drive twice as far to ski the 2 most natural elements of the sport. Idk what's up with the grooming fetishes of some mountains. I swear if I whipped out my cack and splooged off the chairlift they'd fire up the cats if it looked a little lumpy

john18061806I'm the type who likes to go 70mph sitting down.

MinggI can understand not speeding through a green/blue/anywhere when it's crowded. But on a weekday when no one is around( east coast week days are DEAD compared to out west) then it shouldn't be a problem. But even when no one is around the yellow jackets here are assholes. If you aren't causing danger on anyone else, it shouldn't matter how fast you are going. You know?

KravtZAgreed... I won't even touch the resorts that are within an hour or so near me they are just boring and over priced for what you get.

Moguls is a dying aspect of skiing I think. The vast majority ofpeople don't even like to attempt them anymore. I love ripping them once in a while its a great leg burner and a nice challenge...plus you look like a boss when you fly through them

ronders_I get yelled at for skiing switch down groomers, because I'm "not in control," and also for doing 180s off natural drops on the groomers.

MinggHow dare you try to have fun while skiing. Don't you know thats not allowed?

Mrworm10Yep, happens to me all the time at Sunday River, ME. They opened up the big park 3 weeks ago and the only access was by skiing down a green and carving up to get into the top of the park. I probably got stopped 4 or 5 times in one day just for skiing slightly faster than the crowds. I'd steer as far away from other skiers as possible to avoid any valid accusations of getting in anyones way or scaring people, but they were still all over you. Most of the times I was stopped the patrollers were really chill about it but they really shouldn't have been stopping people there. We had to have speed to get up into the park.

TLDR; Ski fast and scare people - hoodcrew

brov1i ski most of my 35 or so day season out west but a solid 5 of those days are at the small mountains near dc. every fucking time i go skiing around hear i get yelled at by countless gapers, jerries, and the like for fucking skiing. I ski fast, i always have skied fast, i don't like going slow, and i cant have fun crawling down a mountain. yet every time i go i always get the same talking to by patrollers "i get that you are a good skier but you need to slow down, you are making people nervous" i am sorry but i don't give half a fuck if i make some gapers nervous i payed your shitty mountain 75 dollars to ski so i am going to ski how i like. fast a shit, in total control, sending jumps huge and ripping the shit out of your mosquito bite of a mountain.

fuck you liberty and whitetail

MinggAs long as you're skiing in control, they can go fuck themselves. I'm tired of getting yelled at for going like 35-40mph while in total control and then there are gapers straightlining the hill in a pizza who look like they're about to get rekt. It's just dumb.

Next time ski faster and then beat them to the bottom. They'll never catch up cause they're pussies hehehe.

brov1fuck you liberty and whitetail
