ok so this seemed like a good idea now that im laughing at what some guy said to me a few weeks ago ok....
so im in the gondola by myself cuz we take singles to get to the top faster and this is what some old guy says to me
old guy:
" so whats up with your skis they have two rounded tips"
me: "yea they are twin tips i ride in the park"
oldguy: "huh then why are they so damn long, those are the longest skiblades i have ever seen"
ok so i didnt really know what to say i tried to explain to him and not be pissed at the same time but i couldnt get any real words out of my mouth exept "wow you're a fucking retard" so if anyone asks why your skiblades are super long just tell them they are retarded and to die in a fire i guess
oh by the way they are full size twin tips not snowblades if anyone gets confused

hahahhahahahhahaha. My dad knows NOTHING about skiing because he's never skied downhill, only xc. We were staying in a family friend's condo at winter park for a couple of days that was either on a blue or a realllllly easy black and he goes, "WOW that looks too steep to stop on!"

The odd time at blue I'll be walking along the base of the hill and hear some tourist look at the runs and say "Wow, that's steep, I wonder how most people are able to stop before they run into the village'

"who actually goes skiing at ski club are you joking?!"
there are about 20 girls at my school who pay $200 for a pass and bus rides to sit in the lodge and talk for 4 hours. these happen to be the aforementioned girls with the bluw skis. and they rep the "ahhh i cant wait for summer its soooo cold" group too.

one time, these stupid ranger patrol guys came chasing after and they had little flashing orange lights on their helmets, and they were like, "you're going way too fast, you're endangering others. you're not allowed on this lift anymore." and i was like, "how can i be going too fast on a trail that goes uphill?"

"What are those things on your shins for?"
"You mean my shinguards?"
"Yes."
"...Uhhh, theyre for protecting my shins?!"
Some people are just retarded. And yes, shinguards for training slalom.

the other kid was right the point was to emphasize the boston accent and no I don't think friggin is a bad word
Well anyways one time at pats peak I slid the s-box and some kid on the chair lift with like jeans rental skis and no goggles was like you gotta teach me that and I was like what and he was like I can't grind you need to teach me that. So I just said okay and skied away thinking that if he has rental skis he should probably learn to ski first

i wasnt sure but i think it sounds hysterical (in a good way) whenever someone says friggen with a boston accent. plus i always think of boondock saints when someone says that.

Guy in late 50's on an alpine board-
"See now with yours (05-06 Vicious) you have to put them together to make a cool picture. Not mine."
"Yeah, I like to go fast. I bet when you were my age, there was no such thing as a snowboard, let alone snowboards with COOL pictures."

we were riding up the quad at the summit, and there were so many people sitting down and laying all over the run and the park below it was ridiculous and my dad goes...
"looks like a CSI crime scene"
oh and in response to the one above..everytime someone who doesnt ski, asks me if im good, its followed by "can you backflip?!!!!!!!"
backflips are the most important thing ever to non-skiers/snowboarders

haha yea that reminds me, i get that all the time. But, talking to kids at college in new hampshire who are from very far away from new hampshire and snow in general.
him- "man i learned how to snowboard today!"
me- "o thats cool, i ski though, its pretty sweet"
him- "snowboarding is so much cooler than skiing, i mean you can do so much more on a snowboard"
me- "well, not really... (then i realize i dont feel like explaining it all)"
him- "on snowboards you go down like this (stands sideways and rocks back and forth), and on skis you go down like this (stands forwards, looks stupid), see snowboarding is SO MUCH COOLER"
me- "yep, you are totally right"

I live in a rainy city in the UK and go skiing at indoor snow slopes and dryslopes most of the year.
*Every* time I walk to the meeting point to get the minibus or whatever at uni with my skis on my shoulder i get "No fuckin' snow around here, mate" or equivalent, then one time I had two pairs in a bag over my shoulder and someone asked me if it was a canoe.

...a story actually.
So...I'm at work today and I work at a golf course in Brooksville, Florida which is in the middle of fucking nowhere in an old cow pasture. I'm in the pro shop and this guy comes up to me and says, "Do you ski in Aspen?" (I was wearing an Aspen hoodie). I was like "No, I usually ski Breckenridge but my name is Aspen."
"You don't ski! You snowboard!"
"No...I ski."
"Well, snowboarding is so much better than skiing because you can do many more tricks and stuff."
"Ummm...No you can do more tricks on skis than a snowboard."
"No, you can't!"
"Yes, I can. I can ski backwards, grind rails, half pipe, and I can do backflips."
"You can't ski backwards on skis! Are you stupid?"
"Yes, you can ski backwards on skis!"
All of the sudden this lady in the pro shop screams "YOU CAN WITH TWIN TIP SKIS!".
And so I am like, "Told you so!"
The old dude stomps off all pissed and such, and there I am laughing my ass off.
It turns out that the lady was from from Boulder and she was there to play golf.
I think this was a sign from God that I need to get out of this fucking stupid state and go to school in Gunnison.
All times are Eastern (-4)
