What else are taboo things in skiing?

LbirdNobody uses it in the NW either
Yeah, a lot of places in the PNW don't even HAVE them.
cakeshredshardGoggles without reflective lenses
nahhh dark gray its where it's @
BortyThe fact that racers have proper skiing technique, and many of the park rats that make fun of them, have very poor skiing technique.
found the race kid
having your buddy rub out you shinbang in the lodge
deliberately sneaking ahead in the lift queue to get near a pro whilst pretending to absent mindly look into the mid-distance

chapz69Any grab like the bow and arrow where you have to contort yourself so much its impossible to have style because your in a crazy yoga position, I think the dub handrag 3 is pretty taboo if done like a gymnast
Wow, I must be getting old, was always a big fan of a TJ schiller flatspin with a bow and arrow
3maniaIn Colorado, pulling down the safety bar. I know everywhere else you pull that things down before you get off the ramp, but NO ONE uses that shit around here.
frickindarnNobody uses them anywhere..
Fuck that, I like having something to lean on.
French fry when you're supposed to pizza.
skiizey_steezySilent rock
fuck outta here i been doing that since i first went to hood and my dad has been doing the same when he was a kid. shits gotta date back to the beginning of timberline at least.
Don't fuck with silent Rock. You could make a bridge across 26 with the broken collarbone and acl's from those who did not heed.
B_KCalling last run
buddy called last run once.... he's gay now
reverts and shuffles are what you do when you want to spin an extra 180 but cant do it in the air
whoa-derebuddy called last run once.... he's gay now
Really? Not to be SJW but this doesn't need to be here
In CO, it's hella taboo to use pole straps. Everyone is scared of a tree pulling their arm off.
That's okay if you're scared of heights and want to use the bar, but I will say the nastiest shit to you, in front of your kids, if you hit me in the head with it without saying anything.

freestyler540-Stepping on someone else's skis: Come on, it like getting your leg chopped off.
You have got to be kidding. I run over my friends' skis all the time in the lift line. It's even funnier if you can do it to strangers.
Remember kids: The faster you break your skis, the sooner you can justify getting new ones.
Personally I think the bow and arrow grab is fucking sick.
I think using an object to shotgun a beer (keys or a knife) while skiing is pretty weak
Idk i just drink a lot

Idk about you guys but if shuffles are quick, snappy (and intentional) I think they look rad. I.e. Hornbeck, Downey, etc
3maniapulling down the safety bar.
You wouldn't like riding the lift with me & my irrational fear of heights.
tall t over a jacket... maybe with some jackets it can slide, but for the most part... NaH
Anyone asking me where my poles are..
Like they're necessary gear for any type of skiing

Okay, lets see you ski a chute with no poles
hoodratz47Don't fuck with silent Rock. You could make a bridge across 26 with the broken collarbone and acl's from those who did not heed.
This is the truth. One day as a naive young skier I left ludacris bumpin on my past the rock and proceeded to break my collarbone in half on a cannon box later that day.. If I had called last run it could've been a death sentence
- Telling someone to put out a blunt in the gondola
- Those rubber mohawk things
- Spread eagles
- STEALING GEAR FROM THE LODGE (Kids i know stole like 5 snowboards that belong to other riders, they got caught like 2 days later bus they put them on eBay)
- Vapes on the lift line
cbjOkay, lets see you ski a chute with no poles
I did it last year at snowbird when I had a broken hand. I'm not saying I wouldn't preferred to have poles but it's definitely doable to ski big mountain without poles. You end up a lot closer to the mountain on your turns, a lot like snowboarding
When people overlap their lift tickets until they are the size of a book... Just stop.

So blunts in the gondola are ok, but vapes in the lift line are not?
Also, spread eagles are sick

In NZ (Cardrona) they'll stop the lift and yell at you, but at Ruapehu they don't really care.

In Colorado I've never even seen ski patrol use them to be honest. That's crazy how strict some countries are. What happens in a roll back if your bar is down?!
B_KCalling last run
Did that. My ACL are still mad at me (but a least they are still there).

I've gotten my pass pulled for not putting down the bar in NY.
Also in a roll back you would raise the bar and jump off lol.
MinggI've gotten my pass pulled for not putting down the bar in NY.
Probably because NY mountains are land of the asian invasian. Lots of gapers who don't know how to use lifts + lack of safety harness = bad
Wht mountain?

I was so high most of the time in Co that I would just announce "Bar Down!" and put that shit down. East coast has absolutely no lifts that high or that long and just being able to rest my feet felt like a god send.
