Rant About Whatever

RparrMy home hill finally opened tonight. No park, half the terrain open, insane lines.

Thanks vail, you have actually finally chased me out of my own backyard. It's so sad that the hill 5 minutes from me isn't even worth skiing. Now I drive an hour south to the nearest non-vail owned location. They have like 10x as much snow blown as my home hill, and an incredible park already. nothing but excuses from my vail owned home hill

STEEZUS_CHRI5TI’m so tired of hearing loud $20,000 Ford Mustangs and Dodge Chargers with modified mufflers. All day and night, I hear them on the side streets near my apartment and it’s annoying.

I don’t mind hearing a loud McClaren or Ferrari but when some burnout buy a POS and tries to look badass it pisses me off.

I can see them from the pool area and they never even reach 30mph. It’s just pure noise. Id like to move from the south and into a mountain/ski town because I’m tired of the trash here. I want peace and quiet.

They’re like the Harley Riders in that South Parkpark episode. Total F@GS.

Rant over.

theabortionatorPeople think the Terrain Park instagram also runs the parking lot and are angrily messaging us and tagging us in posts about parking reservations and getting ticketed for not paying to park in a paid lot.

I dont even care if you're mad about parking, we don't run the friggin parking lot you kook. Those rails we post pictures of are not taking up parking spots, we don't mske parking spots, we don't help you park in fact we wosh you just didnt park here.

At first i was convinced we were being trolled. But no, people are that fucking stupid.

armchair_skierDon’t date a borderline insane person that finished HS w a 1.5 GPA

MiIfHunterBcuz they disrespect the ladies. Most of them r abusive assholes.

safarisamMy marine of 2.5 yrs and I broke up after i got fed up with how he treated me and his views in what men can & can’t do in relationships. Seen a lot of the same behavior of men who we in his corps position. I’m just sad rn

ReturnToMonkeySorry Sammi :( at least he didnt threaten rape 😅

safarisamHe didn’t threaten to rape me this break up so he’s matured a bit 😎

MiIfHunterY not date non-military ppl? Not to point out the obvious but military ppl seem to be too problematic and have tons of baggage and r just all around trouble in general.

BiffbarfThey got fat dongs tho

safarisamHe didn’t threaten to rape me this break up so he’s matured a bit 😎

safarisamPretty much.

safarisamHe didn’t threaten to rape me this break up so he’s matured a bit 😎

MiIfHunterWhy put up with the abuse tho?

like most girls got 4-5 different guys on a string that they can hit up

not for nothing but girls that have tolerated abuse r likely to tolerate it again, and even be immune or ok with it, or even not recognized that abuse is occurring.

I dunno I got sisters and I mean if I found out they were getting abused I wouldn’t think twice to beat a guy down. I just don’t tolerate that shit

safarisamI mean, my other long term ended up being abusive too so I need to practice breaking that pattern I guess. When he’s sweet he’s so sweet but other times he’s just… not.

MiIfHunterI dunno military ppl are always trying to justify their bad behaviour and got an excuse for everything. It’s bullshit.

safarisamYeha. It’s whatever, he’s a good guy just hasn’t dealt with what Afghanistan did to him.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TLeaving a bar once my military friend was getting shit from some randoms in the parking lot. It was for having parents that paid for his Mercedes Benz and it got heated. He pulled the military card and demanded their respect as if it was some kind of “get out of jail free card”. I thought that was pretty shameful coming from a soldier.

ski_salmon69I’m so fucking pissed, a few days ago they were calling for upwards of 10 inches for the next storm but now they’re calling for like 3 inches. My area has been getting the shitty ends of every storm this season

Jemsbro naww 💀😭😭 being in the armed forces can turn you into an asshole i saw it first hand

Young_pattyWas playing Bloons tower defense last night with my best friend and he casually dropped that he’s been experiencing symptoms of MS lately… and that it runs in his family already.

When I hung up later I spent the rest of the night crying. I don’t want to see my friend go out like that, he currently is unemployed living at home so he can take care of his dying dad full time- who also has god damn MS. It’s an awful genetic disease that slowly eats away at your body until it kills you. There’s no known cure either.

the worst part is since he hasn’t had a real job in years and doesn’t have insurance so he can’t afford to get tested for it. What am I supposed to fucking do now? I just want to know what’s going on but we might not be able to know until it’s way too late.

He’s my best friend in the whole world y’all, I’ve known him since before kindergarten. There has to be some way I can get him a test? I don’t want to see another friend die, but I just don’t know what to do right now. Like wtf am I supposed to do? A fucking ice bucket challenge??

BiffbarfSorry to hear man, he sounds like a good canidate for medicaid. Contact your local state/city social workers they'll have the info you'll need to get the ball rolling. Best of luck MS is hell

SavageBiffPlease evaluate what your saying here, it’s this train of thought that jeopardizes an individual to their partners abuse. I say this as someone not similar to him, yet not indifferent, I’m passionate, and quick to fight, but some things like you mentioned above are just obvious red flags and you should RUN, re evaluate your worth and find someone better.

theabortionatorPeople that bitch about doing the slightest amount of work. Work that isn't hard and is pretty fun. Sure it's physical but a lot of it is chill zen garden mode.

I remember being stoked to set features, building take offs by hand. Being stoked if we even got a pile of snow for the takeoff.


Trying to deal with people who complain that they have to use their rakes on features that are set with a cat and have a very small amount of ruble next to them. A take off thats almost exact, just needs a little shaping and the sodes are already cut.

Idk shit grinds my gears pretty hard. Been nice just setting by myself because the first set of the season people were complaining an hour in. Like yo this is the fun stuff, setting festures and the cat doing a lot of the work.

Ill snag some extra hours and just do the sporking. It's really not hard. Even if the snow isnt great you put a little effort in and it's fucking easy.

They get mad breaks, sometimes simple things aren't done with 3 people in a park that 1 person could keep crisp and everyone is just chillin.

I'm stoked if once a week i take a lunch break.

Idk, i don't mind working hard, i want the larks to be sweet but when people who don't seem to know anything about eork. And have never worked larks at another mtn are just bitching about everything and how hard it is its so annoying. When people are complaining about a couple features like yo, wait till everything is set.

It's like asking the world to just do the job they were hired for psrt of the day. Take a bunch of breaks, whatever jist do these small things without complaining.

Fuck.

I want to start doing less for them with the cat. But then things just wouldn't get done.

1 motivated person on dsy staff snd 1 semi coherent cat op can build a pretty sick small park themselves.


Also with trying to justify expanding the crew it gets tough when things dont get done not because a lack of staffing but a lack of motivation.

Why pay more people if it's going to be a similar result.

Idk, i think maybe they really think it is a super hard job and that they're working extremely hard. Idk if thats better or worse than just being lazy. It's kind of a scary thought.


Idk, just weird. Work park crew and instead of "oh sweet new features i can lap, and that everyones going to be stoked on" "Awww man new features and i have to work a tiny bit , let me complain a bunch".

TOAST.When we got a cat op that started figuring out a lot of the stuff we did by hand could be done in the cat, park sets got so much easier. I don't do sets much anymore because I have another job, but when I do it's literally just shaping the lips and smoothing the sides out most times, hardly any digging. The guys got it easier these days. We always hand shape lips, usually not a fan when I go somewhere that the lips are done all by cat especially down rails.

theabortionatorYeah. I ususlly give people a reference. For down rails i blade each side and then blade the whole thing. They usually come out oretty good.

Really all I've been leaving is some fine tuning and that little bit of snow at the gront of the raio and along each side. If you jist have to spork down the side of the feature real quick and spork the deck and sides smoother on the takeoff its so easy.


I feel like these guys need to build a couple by hand farming snow sometime.

Small changes are easy but a lot of times the take off will be good to go. Just needs the sides angled and a little cleaned up and it's done and they complain.

There's def some value even on jump takeoffs of being able to put the snow bsck in the right spots and spork it flat.

I guess I'm just stressed s little because only park cat so having to grind a bit to get things done sometimes. Groominy whst we have. Setting a couple rails. And building some jumo knuckles in the night msking sure it's all good. Dealing with cat bresking, not getting a lunch and then these guys act like sporking the little sliver of snow next to a raio is some huge challenge.

I even processed that snow with the tiller. And it's sugar city atm. Really would have been an easy one.


Hoping we can find a day staff supervisor for next year or just get somebody on the crew with some experience at other/,another mountains.

When people are complaining not getting shit dine when we had a few rails in and 3 people it's going ro be a struggle when there's 25 or so in.

You were in PA right at blue or somewhere?
