What It's Like to Be a Ski Girl

Hahah! this is awesome! i hate the fact hair always gets in mouth whenever hitting park, and yes what's with the furry boots!

Actual moment in my life -

*from chairlift*
"Woah dude did you just see that guy eat it!?"

*I pull off my helmet and check out my freshly delammed top sheet after catching an edge in the park*

"Holy shit that was a chick! Did you see that?!"

I've also been called sir and dude and a multitude of masculine names. Surprise!!

I think this happens because of the constant battle you mentioned which is hair. Do I slick it all back and look like a guy so it doesnt get in my mouth. OR do I leave some out so that I am indeed recognised as female but have that disgusting feeling of hairy neck and hair in my mouth?! I can't choooose!!

Ski boot fur makes me sick ha

HAHA yes I definitely par take in the slut strand look. I recently cut off a bunch of hair and put some layers in so my braid doesn't work anymore :( I usually go through a stage every winter where I want to shave my head ha!

Although it always makes me ponder - having long hair is the most annoying thing about skiing. But there are so many guys rockin longer hair. Have they discovered a secret to avoiding our perils? Maybe we should ask the guys about their hair strategies haha

Ahhh yeh my hairdresser a couple of weeks ago offered me layers.... it took me ages to convince her no... hahah

YES LETS ASK THE BOYS

When I had really long hair it was braids or a bun.

I leave two strands out too, its been too many times being called a dude! Plus my hair is purple so I wanna show that off.

I realllyyyyy wanna put the pink back in my hair but I just can't afford to bleach it first :(

i think the guys just don't care as much as the girls. my brother has really long hair, so he can put his hair up, but its just always kind of a mess during ski season. I dont think asking the guys will help you much.

some guys on the chair lift asked started talking to me and then one of them said something about me being a guy. I told them i wasn't and they didn't believe me. i have wicked short hair, so i can't put it out of my helmet but its not worth growing out just for ski season :( on top of wearing a big ass saga jacket and baggy snow pants, i do look like a little boy

This is perfect, I love this. ^

Other favorite hits include:
"Holy shit that's a chick"
"She has more balls than you" *guy to other guy*
"If she's throwing flips, you better put a ring on it" *guy to my ex* (no ring, still stoked)

I get similar reactions when I pull off my helmet as when I step out of my car... They just can't believe there was a girl in there for some reason.

Honestly, being a ski girl gets interesting sometimes... I've skied with mostly guys my whole life which inadvertently made me into a guy's gal, from a young age. Not being allowed to cry or give up when I fell made me stronger for all the times I'd be bashed up later. Only problem with that was I sort of lost touch with a lot of my female friends cus I kept skiing and they stopped in favor of other sports or just got tired of it. (nothing wrong with that) I dunno, I just grew up as a skier girl, I don't know what I would be like if I wasn't. It's flattering when the guys think you're super hot cus you ski and have a good time. But sometimes but it gets kinda old if I stop into Woodward and want to get new tricks dialed in and get looked at weird cus they think I won't actually send anything. I started throwing down bigger and bigger stuff and the more I threw, the more people wanted to help me go bigger. Last I heard, I was definitely the only girl throwing backflips on the BMX resi mat on roller skis. Once the guys see skill, they kinda treat you as their own. I love the friendly shit talking and crude humor, it's a party with the guys I ski with. Which is nice to a certain extent but sometimes I miss some of that female connection. I can hang with the guys all day but there's some stuff they don't understand. I can't turn to them and talk about cute guys or how I should've worn a better sports bra. (like that article posted here a couple weeks ago)
At least Lady Gabber is sort of a place to reconnect with other girls and just have that tribe. Hopefully there will be more girls around to ski with this winter.

I feel ya.!!! I lost ALL of my girl friends since I was out on the mountain every day I could be. And because of that ended up being one of the guys too. I have a really hard time connecting with other girls because I have such a sarcastic, crude, dirty sense of humor.

I'm glad it's not just me XD

"Why don't you ever hang out with a group of girls?"
I... I don't know how.
