I was talking to some friends, and realized that we're ski hipsters. (We being myself and a lot of NS)

We buy stuff from obscure companies like ON3P, Saga, Moment, EC Headwear...

We do things the majority of the skiing population doesn't really get (park being one of them, or kids skiing exclusively park)

Trying to think of other comparisons.

Yes? No? Fail?

i dont mean anything against you in any way, shape, or form but in my honest experience i would get into a very large personal debate with you if i saw you on the hill and heard you bitching about the things you said. i am a very pro-progression type of child (only 16)

a lot of people could be considered "hipster" in their mindset. but most dont feel the need to dress strangely in order to let people know what how they think.

my friend called me a ski hipster today,

ski hipsters clothing style is the opposite of a urban hipster:
baggy pants, tall shirt, tall jacket

but basically other than that we are no different

Obviously. Of course everyone on here will deny it because they hate being criticized and labeled and think they're original. It's all good though, you have to laugh at yourself too.

I wouldn't stand for your rants either. I still occasionally rip zipper lines in my mid fat skis (108mm underfoot VCT TURBOs) and am so glad we aren't in the 80's because of the massive improvements in ski shape, practical boots, emergence of solid AT bindings, and more functional outerware. At least the mountains haven't changed much. I could care less about chairlifts these days... which brings me to my next point:

When some of you punks stop caring about chairlifts, then you might be hip, and only then.

This quote reminded me of this thread. Mostly it reminded me of hipsters.

"It's sad to think what the state of rock and roll will be in twenty years from now, it just seems like when rock and roll is dead the whole world is going to explode. And it's already so rehashed and so plagiarized that it's barely alive now, it's disgusting, I mean kids really don't even care about rock and roll as much as they used to, as the other generations have. It's already turned into nothing but a fashion statement and an identity for kids to use as a tool for them to fuck and have a social life. At that point I really can't see music being of any importance to a teenager..." Kurt Cobain, ~1993. RIP.

I sometimes take ironic mogul runs and perform ironic stunts and then ironically ski back down to the lift line because snowboarding is like so much more mainstream than skiing
