steeze = style + making it look easy
stoke = really excited
donkey dick = a very short length kink at the end of a down section of a rail
gapper = someone who uses the jumps needed to get on rails to just...jump. Not to get on the rail    (Poor wording sorry)

.....there are other terms used in skiing, however, I wouldn't classify them as slang.  Anyways, these are the ones that I know off the top of my head.  I'm sure there are plenty more.

send it = to go huge on a jump or bc drop

pretzel = "scissoring" your legs when changing spin direction on a rail

Stomped = land perfectly

leg burner/warm up run = bumpy, rough, steep run to warm up on.

shuffle = to land a bit sideways, then smoothly slide around and ride away.

safety meeting - every chairlift ride. Or if you're lucky your mountain has smoke shacks for even safer meetings. God I love Big Sky.

Sick licks: mad tricks
It aint eazy being steezy: it is not an easy one being the steezy one
Mid-thigh keep it fly: the middle of the thigh is optimum length of steeze for everything, poles, pants, jacket, etc.
Past the knees lose the steeze: believe it or not there is too tall
Gripped: feeling before doing something scary
Puckered: so gripped your pooper is clenched
Stoked: excited
Stunt ditch: half pipe
Trick-track: the park
Super mogul: Booter
Booter: jump or kicker
Tanner halled it: knuckleing
Gucci plateau: money spot, right past tanner hall
Thug zone: slightly past the Gucci plateau
Flocka flat sector: past the thug zone, pretty flat
Simon dumont/big air dave: sending past the flat

More for when im not on mobile

"Safety meetings" are the best. Both the expression and the act.

Lip-Either refers to the take off before a rail or spinning the opposite way you're entering the rail. (Enter rail on the right, spin left visa versa)

Zipper Line-fastest way down a mogul field.

Bombing-Going too fast without any regard for anyone else down a hill but still making it to the bottom unscaved.

Mashed Potatoes-Very slushy spring conditions.

Face shots-Where the powder is so deep you get it on your face, this can be achieved through slashes or straight lining.

Pillow-A "pillow" like pile of snow. Usually formed due to trees, rocks or other adnormalilities in the gradient.

Pillow Line- A number of pillows in a row.

Tap (Nose/Tail)- Tapping the nose/tail of your ski on anything. This can range from rails, to trees to rocks.

Stupidest one I've ever heard is probably "Inspiration" referring to weed..

Hoping this is just some stupid Ontario park rat slang that doesn't catch on.

I just love the terms that fuck with non freeskiers the most, especially when you combine them in a chat with a freeskier around "normal" people:

-Dude, i feel like stomping trannies in between giant pillows, and hucking flats screaming seamen everywhere in the pow.
-Nah man, i'm all about tapping donkey dicks and buttering the shit out of knuckles, laying really steezy corks with truck drivers. I kinda like hippy killers too though.
